I was wondering if the FR battery had pretty much hit the limit for modern,
affordable battery tech.

After searching around for a while myself I've found a variety of other
batteries that claim 1300, 1400, or even 1600 mAh in compatible
form-factors. But they're all on ebay and I don't trust 'em. Especially with
this line in the description -


"A temporary short capacity of new battery will be resulted from not used
for a long time, it is normal, the total capacity will be reinstated via
used for 3-5 times."

Bad english aside, it sounds like a con. Though for £7.50 it's almost worth
a try....
