A no brainer really if you use enough batteries and that as you say their performance is comparable to standard batteries, thankfully you've found a brand that are - you've saved me a job - many thanks (I think a few folk will say the very same).CF Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982001728381415835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320930881064374793.post-57100806708679428852010-03-30T12:25:02.929+01:002010-03-30T12:25:02.929+01:00The weekend dude - I agree with you.

I have used some absolutely rubbish rechargeables. <br />However with the mAh being 2850 on the Ansmann (which i think is as high as you can get at this time for AA batteries) and being designed specifically for digital equipment they hold out well. -- AlanAlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320930881064374793.post-45438188297768384272010-03-30T08:32:45.180+01:002010-03-30T08:32:45.180+01:00For some reason I always thought that Duracel were...For some reason I always thought that Duracel were the best from a lifetime point of view - I am delighted to stand corrected however.<br /><br />Alan - that is another top way of solving the battery issue however I always found that they never held as much charge as conventional batteries. Great to hear you found a set that meet up with todays standards. I'll keep this in mind for future CF Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982001728381415835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320930881064374793.post-51102922861747742682010-03-29T21:16:35.510+01:002010-03-29T21:16:35.510+01:00Not wishing to start comments of biblical proporti...Not wishing to start comments of biblical proportions but i have used Ansmann digital energy batteries that are 2850 milli amp hours and are rechargeable.<br /> They are a little more expensive to buy but once you have them, they last. I have used these for a year or it might be close to 2 now and they still hold good charge.<br />I keep a spare set in by rucksack just in case they run out.<br />AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320930881064374793.post-86697965610419431652010-03-29T20:43:22.099+01:002010-03-29T20:43:22.099+01:00I find Energiser Lithium batteries excellent.

They are also quite light so carrying spares when backpacking isn't a problem.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.com
