[dog812]

anyone had any luck with any cheap AA rechargeable NIMH batts?
I see lots on ebay but dont trust them

I own 12 Energizer AA Ni-MH cells. In a pack of 4 their price is fairly low.
I have never had a problem with them.
They are made in Japan.

I've got a dozen or so AAs, 600mAH, not sure what to do with them. Not even half the capacity of cheap ones. They came out of solar yard lights I up graded. Walmart usually has an 8 pack for around $12, last ones were Rayovac 2100 mAH, seem to be okay. They had some Duracell a while back, but self discharged in only a couple of weeks. Energizer seems to hold their charge for months in my camera...

There are new Ni-MH cells now that have a little less capacity than before (2200mAh instead of 2500mAh) but they hold the charge for about 6 months.

EDIT: Solar garden lights are made in China where they don't care that cadmium is a deadly toxin so they use old Ni-Cad cells instead of safer and newer Ni-MH cells.

new NiMH AAs? We just purchased a premium pack of Sanyo eneloops. They come precharged and hold their charge for a year. We put a pair in our most used camera a few weeks ago and have not had to change them yet
