« on: April 01, 2007, 01:15:49 AM »
Is there a site that compare GP vs. Energizer vs. Duracell vs. etc....  NiMH batteries? There are so many brands out there which one do I pick?

This is a bit out of date and doesn't include the higher capacity cells, but it gives some idea of the reliability of certain brands:

With the LaCrosse charger you can test each cell separately.  I have found that the PowerEx 2700s actually clock in at 2700, while some of the brands that claim to be 2900 are actually more like 2500.

Thanks, I guess Energizer AAs are still the best performers... Curious about the Duracell 2650 mAh. Usually battery companies out perform companies like Sony, Sanyo, Panasonic etc...

I purchased a LaCrosse charger a month ago and it broke down before I started using it.
