According to this article: Battery makers recharge their lineups <http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061222/ap_on_hi_te/rechargeable_batteries_2>
The various battery makers are upgrading the technology in their rechargeable batteries and the new products are already appearing with more to come in the new year. They specifically mention the Eneloop batteries from Sanyo. The focus of the improvements seems to be in two areas, mainly: (1) have the batteries arrive charged out of the package and (2) reduce self-discharge. -- Thanks DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
