I found out today that the rechargeable batteries in my cordless landline phone are basically fake. They're NiMH AAAs, Highpower brand. I bought replacements because they were dying, and the replacements (rewraps by a domestic importer) weigh twice as much, 13 grams instead of 7, and purport to have 1000mAh capacity instead of the 300 advertised by the Highpower cells. Hmm, maybe that's why the phone wasn't working very well...

But those are (probably!) NiMH. No idea what brand of lions are in this cellphone, my laptop, my other laptop, my MicroPC, my other cellphone, etc.
