Which is why I wrote to get 4 NiMH batteries, wanted to add more here, but
Frank already answered it for me:
"Considering that a new pack for the eMate will set you back about
$10 or less, it doesn't make sense to use anything but the best,
i. e. the same brand, bought at the same time and at the same place,
of the highest capacity NiMH you can find."
