Sometimes, people will confuse a certain type of battery or high-capacity battery with poor performance/life when it is really related to the charger (say, 1-hour charging).
All batteries will benefit from lower charge rates to a point. I use a 4-hour charger, and my 2.25 AH AA cells have been working for 4+ years now with no problem in digital cameras, GPS units, and headlamps...
Just another opinion...
