For my Blackberry, nothing but Duracells. They simply last the longest. I have been meaning to try those Leap batteries, but I can't find them.

Did they go out of business already?

<< How do LEAP's compare to Duracell's? >>



Thanks for the link.

They are rechargable! (never knew that, the commercial was kinda vague) But instead of being NiCd, they are NiMH like camcorder batteries! I'm gonna have to pick some of these babies up to try them out!

For my palm I just buy Safeway Select AAA. LOTS cheaper than name brand and they last me just as long. For dig cam, mp3 player, port cd player bla bla bla I use NiMH from Radio Shack. Just makes a lot more sense both economically and environmentally to go the rechargeable route.

I have rechargeable NiMHs - Maxell, Energizer, Sanyo, Cleancell. I only buy new ones when they start leaking.

I buy these "Vinnic" ones. 4 for $1. They last about 2 weeks on my Palm IIIxe (with about 12hrs/week of usage).


You simply can't beat the price....
