Canon and imitation Canon batteries from ukdigital.co.uk?

Last summer I bought a pair of Powerstorm Canon NB-4L equivalent
batteries from ukdigital.co.uk, and the first one recently started
giving poor performance although I think it's only been through 20 or
30 power cycles.

So I opened the second one to use as a backup and both sides are
bulging so it won't fit in the charger or camera.

I've e-mailed the company about returning them. They're supposed to
have a 1-year RTB guarantee, so I don't expect to have any trouble
returning them.

But I do need a spare battery --- should I ask this company to
exchange the pair of dodgy ones in part-payment for a (more expensive)
genuine Canon NB-4L?

Will a genuine Canon battery be significantly better in the long run?

Is ukdigital.co.uk generally a good supplier?

Thanks,
Adam

They're good people, I've been to their shop and bought from
them often. I have no opinion of their batteries but I doubt
they'll give you any hassle. Give them a ring.
