Good advice about keeping the batteries in sets. That's one of the things I don't like about rechargeablesit's too easy to be lazy and get them mixed up. If you mix old and new batteries, your pack's performance declines to that of the old battery. In a worst case scenario, the newer batteri

I just ordered some that I am going to test out. I went with Ansmann brand NimH 2850mah AA rechargables and some 1100maH AAA. Amazon has good prices. Ideally, I would like the low discharge batteries (Ansmann max E+), but I thought I'd try these out first for every day stuff and maybe get the lo

I second the suggestion to use Sanyo Eneloops. I haven't used them heavily, but my impression is that they sacrifice some capacity but reportedly have less loss when in storage and should last through more charge/discharge cycles. I had bad luck with the Energizers and Duracell rechargeables, so I
