I buy alkaline batteries quite a bit for all the gadgets i got (remotes, pdas, mp3 players and so on) and I'm tired of spending so much on batteries. Does anyone know what the best brand of rechargeable NiMH batteries and chargers is? I'm looking for AA's and AAA's with capacities of over 2000mAh.
 
I have purchased many rechargeables from Thomas Distributing very good results. Specifically, look at the MAHA MH-C204W charger and the MAHA 2500mAh batteries (AA size).

Good luck.
 
Rechargable alkaline is the way to go IMO... NiMH sucks as they lose their charge in a couple days even if not used.
 
MAHA batteries have a good reputation, but I have found that most rechargeables are of good quality.
 
do a google search for battery shootout or rechargable battery shootout.
They do a full stresstest based on digicam use. It's updated pretty regularly.

I would stay away from rechargable alkalines for your digital camera. You'll get about the
same performance you would from regular batteries but you'll have the ability to recharge
them. NIMH will last longer and let you use your camera more per set of batteries.

The other poster is right, that they won't hold a charge in storage. But they keep a charge
pretty well for a week or so unused. There are a lot of good travel chargers, that will do a
trickle charge, to keep them topped off before you head out, if you're taking it on vacation.

Thomas Distributing has a really good selection.

good luck
