When you say "new" what do you mean?  It's been a while since you could even buy the 2600mAh Phase One Batteries.

.... Newer batteries contains cheaper chinese power cells with varying output voltage, which is not good for digiback electronics (unless you still have warranty).

Pretty bold statement.

Any documentation here on the new Phase One 3400 mah batteries supporting your statement???  I know Phase spent some time testing this latest generation of batteries which run about $70

Phase One is quite little company compared to giants like Canon or Nikon, do not overestimate their production & test budget :) We all know how buggy digital (not Phase One only, to be honest) backs, especially old ones. For P and P+ series, for example, voltage is very critical factor - even 0.1V deviation can lead to unstable behavior. New batteries designed for current generation of digibacks, electronics also made step forward.

Of course, if unexpected reboots is not a big problem - just forget it. I hate it.

Never had problems with re-boots, as you say, with any of my digital backs.  And certainly current generation batteries are better than previous ones.
