Forgot to mention for those that are not aware of these particular types of rechargeables, is that the shelf life of a charged battery is not like the old ni-cads that lose their power in about 30 days of idle...
Hey, look at that, they've improved them since I bought them...
http://www.eneloop.info/home/the-new-im ... eloop.html•Improved self-dischcharge. Even though the self discharge of the old eneloop was already very impressive, you can store the new eneloop for 3 years and still it will retain 75% of its capacity.
•You need a battery, which is reliable even when having cold temperatures? Before eneloop was suitable for temperatures as low as -10°C - now even until -20°C.
And the Powerex batteries are supposed to be better so I have heard.
