Confirmed. At least for the ones I saw, obviously I can't speak for all of the various 'starter packs' out there.
When I was managing a Jaycar store we would get one or two customers a week chasing a replacement battery for their starter pack.
All of the old batteries were about half the weight of the equivalent sized replacement.
