Best Hi Capacity NiMH Charger and Batteries AA

[PrinceXizor]

Like the title says. Another area I'm a n00b in. Any suggestions or comments on what's good to look for? The camera has a "drain" function on it.

Heres a link to another thread about two weeks ago....http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=40&threadid=1859289&enterthread=y

<sarcasm>Its called the search feature...learn how to use it</sarcasm>

Easy there chief....some of us just forget to or are busy doing multiple research items...just finished searching about CD-R's. Then I googled it.

Anyway, rechargeable is spelled incorrectly so I probably wouldn't have found this thread very easily. (I searched for battery charger, rechargeable battery, rechargeable batteries). It's possible I missed it in the sea of threads...

By the way, thanks for the link 🙂

That thread was interesting, but I was looking for a slightly more diversified list of suggestions (and places to buy them from). The Maha charger and 4 pk is at newegg, so that is nice. Any other suggestions or tips on batteries and chargers for my Digicam?

it doesn't matter. its nihm, not rocket science. both energizer/duracel have 15min chargers these days from target or wherever. good for last minute go. babying batteries is pointless, they are so cheap per charge regardless its nitpicking

Thanks for your opinion!
Any others?

Maha chargers and batteries. Simply the best.

It seems newegg or thomas supply is the best place to get them. Any other major e-tailer carry them?

I drove down to Walmart and bought 8 Energizer AA and a charger for $20 + tax. They are great and if they crap out anytime soon (which I doubt), another 4 batteries is $10. My camera flash is set for life.

thomas distributing has a better selection as well as pricing. their 2300 maha battery and charger kit is a great value.

Mine are finally starting to go after about 18 months and ~4,300 pics (no idea how many with flash).
