I have standardized on NiMH for all my stuff that needs a fair slug of juice to
run -- digital cameras, handheld radios, and the like. For clocks and such that
suck microamps, I have standardized on alkaline Renewals (*). If it was mine,
I'd use NiMH. I have found the best source to be Thomas Distributing for
quality AND price.


Thanks!

I use rechargeable Energizer 2300 mAh NiMH in my digital camera and GPS.
They take a half hour to charge and probably take about 200
pictures, although that will depend greatly on how much you use the
screen on the back of the camera.

In the long run charging a battery that fast will ruin it. They need slow
charging.


They're like $2 each. I've already saved many times the cost of regular
camera batteries.
