Best Rechargeable batteries - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Well, my massive stash of throw away batteries are running dry extremely fast.

Baby products, remotes, wireless keyboard/mouse, and our digital camera are all together flying threw them like they are nothing. Granted, I think that most of them are about to expire anyways. lol.

But, we have a rechargeable unit, and I just want to know what would be the best rechargeable batteries to buy. I don't care how long it takes for them to charge, and as long as they aren't extremely expensive, I just want batteries that have a long battery life, and will last a while too before they become inefficient.

Only looking for AA and AAA batteries.

You shouldn't really use rechargable batteries in things like remote controls. The reason is things like remotes use very little power and then only very infrequently; all the time you're not using a rechargeable battery it's slowly discharging itself, so it's better to use single use batteries for such uses.

Yeah.. typically nimh has very low battery capacity (pretty fast discharge).

But new rechargable nimh batts are much better, as im using them now, and they do have much higher battery capacity (very low discharge aka stays recharged much longer than normal nimh batts) meaning u can use much longer than typical nimh.

Im using this rechargeable batts --> http://www.gprecyko.com/en/index.html

Sony also has similar too --> http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Energy-Re...577073&sr=1-23

By far the best rechargeable AA and AAA batteries are Sanyo Eneloop.

They are Low-Self-Discharge, and can handle very high currents if necessary.

Costco has them in very inexpensive kits.

Sanyo Eneloops for sure. I have a stash of them for my strobes.
