I vaguely remember someone saying that you shouldn't use NiMH batteries.
Only Alkaline or Lithium. You get a lot of rolls out of a set of Alkalines.
I'm wondering why you feel the need for NiMH? I have been just fine with
alkalines even though I use NiMH in my AF500FTZ flash.

just run alkalines in the grip.

Shelf life is dependant on temp, atmospheric drain,
power drain of device etc etc, NIMH are bad for long
term low drain situations, they may still have a
charge after some time but it's not the charge they
had 2 weeks ago, Alkalines will keep their charge for
years if not used.

So should I be using alkalines in my AF400T Flash or should I switch to
something else?

OK since I was the one who kinda started this,
Alkalines are meant for low drain devices, smoke
detector, calculators, etc. NIMH are designed to go
into a hi drain device, a cell phone, flash, digital
camera where we WIll be changing the batteries often
and recharging them before each use. In the

This is not correct. Even though Alkaline and Lithium are much better for
long term storage, NiMH isn't quite as bad as you stated for short term
storage. The discharge rate also depends on
With the AF400T in particular the alkalines quickly fade to a lengthy recycling time
for a full power discharge. From a initial recycle time of about 10 seconds they drop
off to 15-16 seconds after 40 flashes. In contrast my Kodak NiMHs (about 1500mAh) give
7 seconds at the start and drop off t
7 matches
