Anyone use a lot of rechargable batteries?

[Jhill]

I was over at batteryspace.com and was looking at some aa 1800 mah and some aaa 700 mah batteries with a recharger. I can get 8 aa and 8 aaa with a charger for 29.00. My question is how many times can I recharge these batteries and how long do they last compared to non-rechargable batteries?

I think they will save me money in the long run but only if they batteries really hold a decent charge. Anyone have much experience with these?

Thanks for any help.

i think they last '1000' times

They last about 1000 charges, or so they say. I use them in my digital camera, cordless optical mouse and keyboard, and backup for my minidisc player.

I've probably saved a good £100 in the past couple of years since I got all this stuff

They're awesome, buy them...

I'm on my 2nd generation rapid charger (1 hr) & still have all the batteries I started with, they last fine in electronic devices, in flashlights they discharge appx 1% per day even when not in use, so they're not ideal, but if you keep an extra set charged, they're fine for flashlights too

rechargables work great for wireless mouses that eat loads of power
