Are they more likely to leak or something?

Its a risky deal bcoz as you say they may leak!
You wont get as its written on it 2600mah the actual Mah may be around 500 - 1000.

That's just too many to risk getting bad batteries.
I am a heavy user of rechargeable batteries. I have been using them for over 20 years, and a the moment have 30+ AA's in my "collection"; both NiCd and NiMh.
I bought what I though were a reliable brand batteries here in the USA; they were in a reputable store, and were fairly cheap. But I had never heard of this brand making batteries, only other "digital" electronic items. I bought 8 of them, and found out fast why they were so cheap. I now have 7 left, and don't use them for critical applications. Although they are rated 2200 mAh, I doubt at this point that they have anything close to that capacity. The cell voltage drops under load; many of my electronic devices won't even turn on with the batteries fully charged.
I wrote to the company that made them via e-mail on their website. I never received an answer. I wrote several times. No reply. So I'm guessing they really don't care about repeat sales.
These that you are looking at are unbranded. The chances of getting what you pay for is questionable. I'd stick to known brands from reliable sources.

im not 100% sure but i have always stayed away from, the really cheap virtually unknown brands because you will find that some rechargeble batteries have different propetrties in them meaning that their overall life, or life once charged is shorter, but its up to you :) good luck

They're crap, I wouldn't trust them in anything particularly valuable.
