That's kind of what I'm asking about.

I fail to see why putting a £2 keyboard with some of its keys missing 
into a slidy draw makes it worth £200, but OK.

I meant what's physically different about the batteries that makes them 
perform better.

If they work better because the electrodes are made of solid gold, then 
yeah, that'll be why they're more expensive. :-P (Although... damn... 
according to my chemistry, that shouldn't work AT ALL!) If they charge 
faster because the charge management chip is different, then... there's 
really no reason for a price hike.
