Great battery, but for anyone buying today, the Imedion low self discharge batteries are preferable because they are 2400 mAh instead of 2000 mAh.

x2 on the Tekkeon

Not only are they great batteries, but the customer service is top notch. I recently had a couple fail (I think one was my fault -- I tried to use a splitter and may have fried the battery). They were out of warranty, and I bought them off eBay. Despite these facts, they took them back and sent NEW replacements free of charge!

Low Self Discharge is important for rechargeable internals, here is eneloop's comparison to regular rechargables.

I concur.  The Imedion batteries have the same benefits of the Eneloop, but the Imedion AA's have a higher capacity.
