| 1190696 | 2011-03-31 03:30:00 | My experience with Energizer ones is that they seem to have a very high rate of self-discharge (or at least the ones I've had did - this is about 20AA and 8AAA over the last 4 years or so). Whether that makes any difference to you depends on the intended use. |

| 1190697 | 2011-03-31 03:38:00 | Erayd, have you found any AAA, AA or 9v rechargeable batteries that haven't had a high rate of self discharge? My experience has been that for low current draw applications, such as wireless mice and TV remotes non rechargeable batteries are still the way to go, the rechargeables just don't last anywhere near as long. However for cameras, torches, guitar pedals and the like, go for rechargeables all the way. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1190698 | 2011-03-31 03:41:00 | Erayd, have you found any AAA, AA or 9v rechargeable batteries that haven't had a high rate of self discharge?I've heard that Eneloop & Sanyo ones are very good in this area, but unfortunately I haven't had an opportunity to try them - I ended up deciding that the few gadgets that needed a long battery life (namely my mouse & keyboard) could eat lithium batteries instead, and the Energizers could be left to power such things as cameras and torches. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1190699 | 2011-03-31 03:47:00 | Just looking at their their claims about the batteries are pretty impressive. Might have to try some next time I need new rechargeables. sanyo.com sanyo.com |

| 1190700 | 2011-03-31 03:47:00 | I have some cheap 'Maxuss' brand NiMH which I bought from Trademe, they have been fine so far. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1190702 | 2011-03-31 04:03:00 | Mine claim 2800mAh | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1190703 | 2011-03-31 05:40:00 | i don't use them for remotes but had good exp with gp, energizers and dse . over the yrs and maybe still now on the internet, they quite like sanyo industrials (ones without packaging), these were the non-enloops back some yrs . so i imported 16 of them, they tend to discharge by themselve on the shelf within a week . . . . . not sure if i got a bad seller and or a bad sample . but if you have a advanced battery charger it discharge them and charge them up right . . . it does have a 2800mah (verified by the charger) . imo, buy locally, get 2 to try out first . |
