Just to be clear about this -

I wasn't talking about Chinese brands.? I was referring to American battery brands, with off-shore manufacturing.

I first heard the story at a ham radio convention, from someone speaking of first-hand experience.? There was about a 20% weight reduction from one year to the next.?

Yes, it was hearsay and might be part of the general fear of cheap Chinese imports, but who knows?
