I use more power than others so YMMV and you always have to remember that there is a possibility that when one goes bad it will take the other with it. It can be an expensive replacement. Still a fan, heater or video monitor can suck up battery supplies over a period of time. It's best to balance out the load and that is hard to determine.
You might have an issue with the longevity of those batteries though. Higher quality batteries are proven to last longer before they die. IMO Universal batteries are the "generic brand" of batteries on the market. On the other hand if you're hard on batteries (poor charging habits) you might be better off spending less bucks on cheaper brands and replacing them more often.
