Wikipedia is not famed for it's accuracy.
Can't argue with that -
except Wikipedia is open to input from almost anyone, like this forum, only much, much wider - so yes, there are bound to be some mistakes/misinformation - but just like this forum, those are usually picked up and corrected pretty quickly.
EDIT to ADD -
----------------
I did a bit of looking on the Wikipedia entry edit history page and found that the edit for Uniross was added -

Uniross Corporate homepage - claims to manufacture rechargeable batteries, but that may not mean they have their own manufacturing plant.
"

on the
Uniross Corporate Editorial page
"
For the last 35 years, Uniross has been working in a sector that has important consequences for the future of our planet. We design and distribute rechargeable batteries and chargers, which are a viable economic and ecological alternative to the throw away batteries. We are entirely committed to the protection of the environment and have set up associations to collect and re-cycle used batteries. We are also cofounders of RECHARGE, the European association for the promotion and management of rechargeable batteries throughout their lifespan. "
So perhaps they are a little more than just a marketing re-badger of rechargeable batteries?

Download of a UK Daily Telegraph article (from Oct/2005) says Uniross was the leading market leader for rechargeable batteries on the UK over Duracell and Energizer.
