I have heard some good things about Sanyo's Eneloops. They are supposed to hold their charge for a long time and Sanyo claims they can be recharged 1500 times. I've started using them but haven't had enough experience to definitely qualify them. Whatever you do, don't waste money on Energizer or Duracell rechargeables. Marvin

Anyone got any opinions on how they compare to the Alkaline Batteries. Do the new rechargeables have the memory problems of the past? Do they last as long and preform as well, and what brand is the best. Thanks, James Jasek
