Default FAST Replacement batteries?

Okay so... I am going on a trip on the 28th and I will be bringing my camera. I'm having a problem with my batteries. It seems recently that they aren't able to hold a charge. They are both replacement batteries... I forget from where, but they were cheap and lasted much longer than the originals.

What can I do now? I don't wanna go out and buy a $50 original Canon, and I need an alternative by the 28th before I go. Any ideas?

Its an NB2L battery...

Edit: OR does anyone have any suggestions how I might "fix" or "improve" my current battteries? Frankly I'm quite surprised they don't hold a charge very well. On the other hand, it IS possible that the camera's battery sensor or something is wrong...

Didn't batteries revive themselves when put in the freezer? Or was that only for a particular kind?

As far as I'm aware that doesn't do much except slow down their "loss of charge rate"... and only works with alkaline.
