Well, check with EastGear.
I think East Gear has moved from Peninsula to somewhere near Lavendar MRT/ Horne Road. Best to make a call before going down.
Confirmed that they have moved. Read it here: http://forums.clubsnap.org/showpost.php?p=2946459&postcount=1
Like some others above, I've also given up from GP batteries. Currently using Sanyo 2300/2500.
Those using PowerEx sold by East Gear, can tell me what's the difference between PowerEx & say Sanyo or Sony or Energizer etc. The PowerEx packing says "Industrial" grade. Does it make a difference between "Industrial" grade vs "Consumer" grade?
There is some offer at East Gear, quite tempted to get the portable storage & charger/batteries as spares.

it's just a label la.. there's only one powerex 2700 mAh..
usually most people will tell u there's only a need to choose between powerex and sanyo enelops. don't really have to bother about the rest..
powerex has more power, so if u use ur batteries often they'll take more shots for each charge compared to others. sanyo enelops retain charge better but are not as powerful. So if u don't use ur batteries often, or don't want to bother to remember to recharge, then get the enelops...
Well... I gave up totally on Sanyo's... they are too hot to operate for me.
PowerEx is only hot when you charge them quick mode... If you allow them to charge slowly, they are pretty cool and operate at a much lower temp too.
erm... which double batteries did you get ah?... as i went to their site but its stated at 20 bucks... or is it purchase with charger cheaper?...

I got the Powerex 2700, not so sure about bundled being cheaper. Never ask them about separate prices, there could be a sale for the battery as well.
btw, just saw them at carrefour ... its at the bottom end of the batteries section...
been trying out Powerone (subsidiary of VARTA Microbattery) 2700 mAh batts. Can get for $15/4pcs at the shop near the escalator at Level 2 SLS. Its a new product so not many pple been using it I guess....

Some other brand only 3 years warrenty.

erm, can't really remember the price though, but think they are 2500 ones...
I have 10 pieces of Sanyo Eneloop batteries. I compare their performance by charging them at random either with Sanyo charger or PowerEx charger. I notice that those charged with Sanyo charger (2 batteries at a time) lasts at least 30 to 20% longer than those charged with PowerEx charger.
Check out http://www.thomas-distributing.com/index.htm. I use powerex 2700 and their charger by MAHA. Their charger will charge eneloop batteries also. The powerex 2700 work great in my SB-800. Hope this helps.
