I've got some 2150 NiMH batteries that absolutely suck. I've got
a LaCrosse BC-900 charger that can charge/discharge them and measure the
actual capacity... not too far from advertised.
That said, they rarely last more than 50-100 shots on my -DS. I
think that some of the cheaper brand batteries (like mine) may put out the
current for quite awhile, but at a reduced voltage... i.e. too much
internal resistance even though the "mAH-capacity" is good. The camera
thinks they're dead prematurely.
I now run a set of good 2500 mAH Energizers and they last for 500
shots or 4-6 weeks... whichever comes first.
