That's probably one of the more ridiculous things I've ever read. It's a battery holder. It has one critical component, wire. Unless Radio Shack is using some kind of resistive wire, or somehow it's not making good contact, there's no way for the battery holder to have any impact on efficiency.
Besides, I've got emails from the Dinotte guy and he says what he uses IS Radio Shack battery holders. I've got several of them and the originals, and they're absolutely indistinguishable.
