Sure, except that I've only got 2 brands (SanDisk and ATP), I'm not real inclined to go out and buy 8 or 10 more, and DiabloNL's test equipment is a bit inconveniently located for me.

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what they elected to do, and I can only guess that it was for precisely that reason.

I'm unhappily suspicious that they, indeed, do not consider it a problem. I can see what's probably their point, namely that a month of battery power is pretty durned good under pretty much any circumstances. On the other hand, it rather pains me to know that the capacity might be 3 or 4 months if it had been approached a bit differently.
