Title: Good AA Batteries
Post by: SHKDWN on February 01, 2004, 03:12:51 PM

I thought I would pass this along...since I know we all use tons of AA batteries around here.

I have been using the Energizer AA Nickel Halide 2100 mAh ones for some time now and they are great.   I ran the same 4 batteries for 2 shows, about 5.5 hours (3 hours with the light on) and they still had 2 bars left on my D8.     They take a while to charge up...maybe 12 hours, but it beats the hell out of using disposable ones.   I think it came to about $25 for batteries and a charger.

Hope this helps

I use these too BUT, one problem...I've had 2 of the "30 minute charge" units break on me within 6 months(one stopped working within a few days)...the batteries can't be beat...but the chargers have let me down at some clutch times....


Peace

I agree....the chargers are kind of flimsy.  I broke the clear cover of the battery holder about 2 days after I got it. Not that you really need it, but it looks cool.    For a long time I had a much sturdier charger (forget who it was made by) where the batteries sit one in front of the other vs. beside each other...and it was MUCH more durable.

Hey Daryan, how often do you masturbate weekly?
