I would like to get rechargeable AA's for my Sony TCD-D7. Before I take the plunge, I would like to be sure that I can get a decent record time out of the batteries (at least 3 hours). Does anyone have any advice or recommendations (or words of caution?).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I like the MAHA Powerex batteries. I bought some of the 1800 capacity ones a few years ago and they gave me about 5.5 or 6 hours out of my D8.

I've had recent great luck with the duracells and the duracell charger. These are, I believe now over 2000mah.
That said, your best bet is to buy (IMHO) is to be really conservative power-wise and pick up enough sets of batteries so that you can swap batteries when you swap tapes.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I agree, on being conservative power wise. Better to be the fool who splurges on batteries than the fool whose batteries drain during the surprise encore.
