Turnigy Low Self-Discharge (LSD) NiMH AA's

You can find them on Thomas Distributing for about $10 for 4 - Sanyos or Mahas and some lesser known others. But S&H is almost another $7......no deal there. Thomas sticks you for S&H.

The price per cell shipped drops to $3/cell somewhere between 16 and 20 cells and continues to fall the more you buy. I was looking at the Maha Imedions, they didn't have any AA Sanyos. For 80cells it was $2.57/cell shipped.

A big factor that the HC LSDs have, at least to me - they seem to be proven. The Ansmanns, Nexcells, Imedions, Lexmars LSDs are not a known performer but they might well be just as good. Last time I bought a batch of Maha Powerex AAs, they were listed as 2700s and mine were never more than 2500 and change - felt cheated just a little, they were obviously overrated. Don't want that to happen with these. HC LSDs look like they are underrated if anything.

We also need to factor in the cost of distributing the cells to all the members after they get to the US. I would assume each person would cover their own shipping to get the cells to where they live, but it will still add to the overall cost for each person.

Sorry BG don't know how to do all of that. I try not to get too deep into the geek areas myself. It took a while just for me to get up the thinking just to put pics on here. Avatar?? How in the hell do you do that? Isn't that the new movie just released. Great Movie.

Find an image you want on the net or wherever, and save it to your desktop. Make sure it's like 100x100 pixels wide/tall (or less) and less than 100kbytes in size. Then, go to your control panel, then the avatar link, then browse your computer for the file. Voila!

I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Some things just have to be explained to me or shown to me once, before I get it. Anyway thanks for the info BG.

So come on people place your orders for LSD AA batteries. The bigger the order the better the price. I know everyone uses AA batteries around the house.
