Sanyo eneloop Pre-Charged Rechargeable NiMH Battery
Rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are pretty much a must for digital cameras requiring AA batteries. Alkalines do not last longer than a few shots due to the deep current draw of modern digital devices, but NiMH batteries are well-suited for deep-draw devices. The downside is that NiMH rechargeables don’t […]
