If your dual japod is worse then there is something wrong with the setup or you have gotten some fake japods....
Well, I wouldn't trust what's written on the can/cell either. In a somewhat revealing move a couple of months ago, hextronic started selling "B-grade" Li-Po. They say "hexTronic usually sells B-grade batteries to smaller vendors who in turn sell online at a discount". I wonder if the cell markings on those are distinguishable from "A-Grade", sounds to me like they're manufactured on the same line with the same process, and some turn out worse than others and fail quality checks... I imagine ebay/dealextreme/etc are full of these kinds of cells from all sorts of manufacturers...
