I find the sanyo ones run dry faster than those of the panasonic ones.

I agree.. they do drain faster... no idea why, but they do come really cheap.

Big difference... my Olympus 1700mAH can last like... 2 trips? Ard 200 pictures with 10 flash.

The sanyo one last ard 1 trip with 140 pics.

No exact calculation but the olympus one comfirm last longer than the sanyo.

I see.. at least better than the Mitsubitshi ones. Around 120 pics.

Yes, I also found that the Olympus 1700mA Ni-MH battery last longer but those are not available as lose pack at retail outlet. You must get the pack that comes with charger and battery in order to get it.

Or, anyone here knows wherer to get Olympus 1700mA Ni-MH batteries?

I may be wrong about the num of pics. Just estimate. But sanyo is value for $ when u consider the price you pay for it.. only 14 for 4 AA.

CP sells that for ard 45 bucks. Not worth it. I rather buy 2 sets of GP 1800mah and have still have 11 bucks to spare.

give it a few more cycles NiMH batteries only reach their full potential after a few recharge cycles.

Erm the Olympus quick charger that cames with my camera bundle, can I use it for other rechargable battery or must I use on Oly batteries only?

Blitz, according to Leslie from John3:16, The charger can charge any NiMH re-chargeble battery but if you use GP, it get very hot (won't explode lah). If you use Sanyo then not so hot. He doesn't know why, just empirical statistic!

some brands are not built to handle fast charging....

Yes dats true. My GP batts get real hot with the olympus charger. And take note, NEVER use freshly charged batts(still hot) immediately. The voltage of each batt will be much higher than 1.2V, which can damage your dc easily. Let them cool down a while before using.

I am using Olympus charger, the batteries never get hot after charged cos' my room has air-con.

AP just equoted me Olympus 1700mA Ni-NH @ $50 for 4 pieces.

I see.. with air-con, of course won't get so hot.

So expensive! Enough to get 3 sets of GP 1800mAh.

think it's not worth it to get the Olympus batteries since they're so expensive.
