I use a company called
All-Battery.com, they sell Tenergy batteries, in capacities in line with what you're getting, but with a slightly better price (from my cursory browsing of thomasdistributing's site). I've been using them for around 5 years or so, and never had any problems out of their batteries. I also use their LiPo's for planes/etc, and get great performance from their stuff. I really need to place an order (need a brick of AA's, think I'm going to go with the 30-minute recharge 2500mah ones they have now, see how well they work).
