Are Energizer 2100 NiMhs rebadged Sanyo 2100s???

I read this:

The Energiser 2100 NiMh batteries are actually re-badged Sanyo2100 Ni-MH's, so we would expect to see a similar performance to the Sanyo 2100's.

Here is the link to his review of the Sanyo 2100 NiMh:

If this is true, are there any reasons why I shouldn't buy the locally obtainable Energizers instead of the more uncommon Sanyos?

Thanks,

Seriously though, I've also heard that they are the same thing, (and also that they are the best cells out there). And since Wal-Mart sells them, they should be quite easy to find.

Freakin' Wal-Mart is taking over the world it seems, do they have them in Africa yet Britt? If not, I'm sure it's only a matter of time...

I've never seen a Wal-Mart there. I can't imagine how more than a fraction could afford to shop there.

I ordered one of those La Crosse chargers from Jon. Remains to be seen if I'm bright enough to operate it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No idea if they're actually Sanyos, but I can say that the 2100mAh Energizers are decent batteries.

As for Wal-Mart - they've got a sort of precense in the UK now as well, have got involved somehow with a supermarket chain here called Asda. Only noticed a couple of months ago on the back of one of their trucks "Part of the Wal-Mart group" - cue distinct double-take and me nearly driving into the back of said truck...

On the bottom of the following page they have a list of country specific websites. I guess those are the countries with Walmart presence.
