If you burn through a ton of AA and AAA batteries in your camera, electronics and toys you should be using recharegeable batteries. You’ll not only save a pile of money but you’ll be doing the environment a world of good by not adding to the tons of carcinogenic batteries we pour into landfills each day.
Pictured above are the Sanyo Eneloop and the UniRoss Hybrio Ni-MH batteries, great options for AA or AAA batteries. These rechargeable batteries are ideal for high drainage devices; due to their low discharge rates, they can be recharged hundreds of times, have a high mAh (number of hours they’ll hold a charge), they charge on most standard and fast chargers designed for Ni-MH batteries, and they’re fully recyclable.
You should be able to get these AA rechargeable batteries for around $10 a four-pack. Get the Hybrio batteries @ rechargeablesonline and the Sanyo Eneloops @ amazon
Newer tech, 2700 mAH, rechargeables will cost you a little more @ nimhbattery.com or Thomas Distributing (a great battery site) and will last even longer.
