Allright
I finally broke down and reinvested in new batteries, bought the
Energizer MAX was that a good choice? there was talk about Re-chargeable
ones but what brands and types of AA do you all prefer??
I used NiCADs for years, and never had a problem with them, but I finally
took the plunge and converted everything over to NiMH about a year
ago. I use them in everything that uses a AA battery.
When I changed over, I bought one of the Rayovac 1 hour chargers.
It came with 2 batteries and I think I paid something like $24.95 for
it. It is a great charger and as I said, it fully charges a dead
battery in about an hour, shorter if the battery already has a
charge.
Since I also use rechargeable batteries in things like remote controls
and clocks, I bought a bunch of NiMH batteries from one of the e-Bay
sellers. These are no brand name batteries and are just
green. I ended up getting them for $0.25 each.
As far as the batteries go, if you find them cheap, it doesn't take long
to offset the cost of alkalines, and I believe that it is more important
to get a battery with a decent mAh rating over brand name. I
wouldn't buy anything under 1600, and look for bigger. I just read
that there are some 2000 mAh batteries out there, but I haven't seen them
yet.
