AA Rechargables Tenergy, Nexcell, other?
Time to get some new AA rechargables. Doing some shopping around on the net. I've heard of Tenergy but haven't used them. Are they a good battery? How about a nexcell? Any other battery that anyone uses that's worth checking into?
THis is one of the places I was looking at with the AA batteries. http://www.batteryjunction.com/aaponiba.html |

Buy Sanyo Eneloop.
http://www.eneloop.info/ According to me and most of my friends these cells are perfect for Tx (higher voltage than normal NiMh and much slower self discharge rate). |
I've only used the tenergy in sub c (4200mah) and they were not worth anywhere near what iI paid for them. They sems to be real hit or miss- some say the 3500s are great.
These guys won the AA shoot out that some digi cam folks held, PowerX. I bought several sets of four 6 years ago and used them in my Nikon until the battery door latch failed. They've had 100's of charges and do show some age. They were orig rated at 2300 and all 4 sets now take 1300+mah. I'm still using them. They've more than paid for themselves. Here's the shootout - http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/BATTS/BATTS.HTM and here's PowerX - http://thomas-distributing.com/index.htm Def not the only kind of batt they sell!! I bought a set of 4 of their new 2700 and think they are overrated - mine take 2550 and a little but not close to 2700. I still think they're the tops in AAs. Expensive, but you tend to get what you pay for in batts. |
+1 on the eneloop's. got mine from amazon. so far, i love 'em. they're lasting much longer than other rechargeables.

Thanks guys that give me some good stuff to check out. I wanted to get some good AA for a decent price. The 4 duracell rechargables for $14 is a joke.

I'm using some cheap "avec toi 2500mAh" and the work great for me....
I've used the Energizer 15 minute recharge.. they just don't seem to hold a charge... |
