8 Gold Peak 1800 MAH NIMH batteries. These are the most powerful AA NIMH batteries on the market today.

And they are indeed! Perfect for Holiday MP3 Players and Digital Cams... These go for about 4 buck and up else where... These are less then 2.50 per batt... Almost as cheap as the 1600's!

anyone have any info on this merchant and the quality of batteries? I was just about to head over to best buy and cough up the dough for the energizer ones.

If you buy the Energizer ones make sure you look closely at the batteries through the packaging. Best Buy still has some of the old 1200 mAH AAs. The package looks the same. Only the batteries inside are different.

That is a good deal. But if anyone has a Sams Club around they have an 8 pak of 1700mah energizer AA nimh batteries which also includes a dual charger for just 19.99. Another super deal. ;)

I dealt with this company before. They are pretty reliable. These 1800 batteries are really good. I also bought some 1600 mah nexcells before. As for chargers, the maha 204f is nice. Its real quick and has the DCD adapter, great when you go on long trips with that digital camera.

I notice the packaging in the link refers to 1.2 volts. I thought AA batteries were 1.5 volts. Is this unique to this brand, or am I missing something? 4 batteries x 1.2 volts= 4.8 volts. 4 batteries x 1.5 volts = 6 volts. Would this be enought to effect a digital device?

I purchased my Maha 204F charger and Nexcell NiMH batteries from this place. There was a thread about rechargeable batteries and this company earlier this year, and the sunnbattery guy used to post replies here. They're reliable.

Now that I have Costco and Sam's, I just go there if I need any more rechargeables.

How it works is that NiMH batteries hold the voltage at 1.2 until the end, where voltage drops quickly. Alkalines start at 1.5v and gradually decrease in voltage, going past 1.2v along the way.

So a set of NiMH batteries in a device is sort of like a set of partially used disposable alkalines that don't lose voltage until the end of the cycle.

In devices that require >1.2v for peak performance, NiMH batteries aren't that great. My Norelco trimmer is one example.

Hey does anyone remember any details about the ACCU energizers that were on clearance at Home Depot? I remembered reading something about it, but none of my local HD have the batteries on clearance, and I cannot find the thread searching.

Thanks for any help

I have a couple of packs of these. When fully charged, they're 1380 mV (measured with a multimeter), so they're actually higher than most rechargeables.

ddiccico,
I think all rechargable are >1.2V when fully charged, however for most of their discharge is at 1.2V. Check out some discharge maps.

Anyone remember the Home Depot ACCU Energizer Deal?

I've heard that with NIMH rechargeables you have to pay close attention to the brand. Such as, Energizers (which most people turn to for good quality alkaline batteries) actually are very poor quality NIMH batteries. Does anyone know if this is a good brand? If not, what brand is good? What should we stay away from.

I think I remember this company being recommended for rechargeables (had to dig deep into my bookmarked sites for this, so I'm not sure if its still accurate): http://www.mahaenergy.com/default.htm

Anyone know if they are any good?

Sorry to get a bit OT from the actual hot deal.
