    It's quite possible that they are higher battery cells and will run for a bit longer.
    I would draw your attention to that site not being a UK company. I had to look on the payment page to confirm my suspicions (the About Us page gives no clue about the physical location). So you would be liable to VAT (plus Royal Mail £8 fee) on import and returning anything would also be expensive. I'm quite happy to buy small items (below the VAT limit and not worth trying to return if problematic) from the far East but would hesitate before buying a larger item.

    Not so much maliciously dodgy but somewhat misleading about the location. The batteries may be fine.

    There are plenty of Amazon Marketplace suppliers who aren't required make it clear thay are on the other side of the world and one realises they are when estimated delivery is in a month. ebay has "shipped from" or similar wording as part of the item description.
