I have noticed that you don't get a lot of warning with them when they decide to go however.

Well, I *still* haven't recharged them, and they still show full.
I hink it's safe to say that their self-discharge rate is quite low.

i've found that cheaper batteries may have the capacity (no way to tell without measuring), but they can have a much higher self-discharge rate and can also last far fewer charge cycles. Radio Shack sells RCRV-3 chargers with a single battery and batteries separately. however i am tempted, having a charger that handles only one battery at a time is a drawback when the camera requires a pair.

So on my way out there's the battery rack with the 4-pack 2500Mah NiMh for
$9.98
and a charger for the same price.  So I made the purchase.
It takes 8 1/2 hours to fully charge but the DS runs great on 'em.

They're worth the look, esp. at about the same price as the 2100Mah units.
