Can someone recommend a good brand of rechargeables that work well in the R09 (and other electronic devices)? Also, I am currently running lithium batteries in my R09...what selection should I choose in the battery selection menu? Alkaline or NI-MH...technically, lithiums aren't either, right? Alkaline is what I chose....
On the camera forums Sanyo eneloops were getting rave reviews. They're a NiMH HYBRID.
I bought a set of them (Walmart 4 1900ma with charger) for $18. I also bought a set of
the $5 MIR. My R09 has run for about 5 hrs with the Rayovacs. My camera has had
the eneloops in it for nearly a month with 700 pictures. Thats better than any alkyline
has ever done.
Time will tell if these new HYBRIDs can really hold a charge a lot longer than
the regular NiMHs. Google it for details.
But if you are looking Costco is handing out a flyer/coupon for Nov 23 - 25 (IIRC) that
has the Sanyou eneloops (8AA and 2 or 4AAA), charger (I like the Sanyo better than the
Rayovac, look a lot alike, but the Rayovac will get the batteries hot), some C and D holders
and a case for $19.99. FYI
thanks
