Nathan: Well, I don´t know what is the real cost of manufacturing a battery
but yeah, $38 bucks is quite enough for me.
I don´t think all cards have the same speed, even if they sport the same
class speed. Have a look to benchmarks of the same cards and compare speeds
and prices, you´ll be amazed!
Chuck: Thanks a lot for this link, it´s a more affordable price.
John: I didn´t know that! This reminds me to printer cartridges. They are
more expensive than the printer.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Dave
