i've found that cheaper batteries may have the capacity (no way to tell
without measuring), but they can have a much higher self-discharge rate and
can also last far fewer charge cycles. Radio Shack sells RCRV-3 chargers
with a single battery and batteries separately. however i am tempted, having
a charger that handles only one battery at a time is a drawback when the
camera requires a pair.

So on my way out there's the battery rack with the 4-pack 2500Mah NiMh for
$9.98
and a charger for the same price. So I made the purchase.
It takes 8 1/2 hours to fully charge but the DS runs great on 'em.
They're worth the look, esp. at about the same price as the 2100Mah units.
