this link takes me to battery junctions 2700mah titanium batteries. are these the same as the ge/sanyo 2700. is that what they're trying to claim when they say made in the same factory as the more expensive batteries? if so, im getting a few. thanks,
jason

p.s. as i understand it those sanyo 2700's are the best testing non-hybrid batteries you can get. is that still holding water?

it just marketing hype, the world best 2700mah still sanyo

Incorrect. The Titaniums have the same capacity but less self-discharge than the Sanyo 2700mah cells thus making them superior.

Titaniums are the same as Duracell 2650mah - same factory/batching.

thank you matt, i do appreciate your input. is there anyone that has bought and tested these or seen them rank highly in a "battery shootout" that could verify these claims for me, or at least tell me they're a top notch battery to buy. i do appreciate the duracell 2650's but i can buy them from any walmart, although this is a good deal.

See this thread but remember these tests are done with just a few cells so there's tons of variation: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=920843&postcount=1

that didnt help, the sanyo walked all over the titanium, look at the voltage holding, and discharge parameters and the notes.
course who knows what the 4 cells tested had been through before they got there, but they were even inconsistant.
the 8 sanyos were claimed by the tester to be consistant, which as always is better for stacking a rack of them in series.
