Exactly. Some time I was looking for these Raynovac to get them in
for Europe palmtop users. But I happened to discover AccuCell and
these work fine. Thus I decided to include them into our support
activities.

I do not think the manufacturer is good at marketing. That is also
why I decided to offer them via Internet. I really think that many
mobile users have pains with their cells and I for myself have been
using these rechargables in OmniGo 100, OmniGo 700 and Portfolio palmtop
and I'm quite satisfied.
