I was wondering, which ones are good. using GP 2700 with no probs so far.

and, can i use, say, poweREX charger to charge GP battery?

 

[Rashkae]

I use the Sony Stamina ones. Fantastic batts.

what do u mean last long? in terms of holding charge or high capacity?

I've Sony blue stamina batts and they're very good. Can hold charge for bout 1 month. Konnoc is also not bad but those eneloop takes the cake! Bought 4 in oct last year, used 2 and recently use the other 2, as good as new without 1st charge. :thumbsup: But its capacity is 2000-2100 only.

=/ How come people keep starting new polls for the same things? =/

I've seen new pages on this every 2 weeks or something.

Eneloops and Powerex 2700s.

Although capacity is oni 2100 but it is better then 2500 / 2700;p :thumbsup:

 

[mirrorslap]

I use Konnoc and Sanyo.

You guys think if i charge my GP, on a poweREX battery charger, can work?

 

[IfourDesign]

The guy at EG took 2 days to reply my email. he said the poweREX charger can charge my GP batts.
but i'm a bit wary. Maybe just buy the GP ones i guess. urgh. :dunno:

The best rechargable batteries I have found are Fuji and Sony.

They tend to hold their charge longer than others.

The worst I have found are Inca and Powerbase.

I will only charge Fuji batteries in Fuji chargers and Sony batteries in Sony chargers.

A battery charger is not just any charger, it is made to charge it's own batteries at correct rates for that battery.

Don't buy cheap stuff; that is cheap technology. Pay the extra and buy something that will perform correctly and reliably.

definitely the Maha PowerEx 2700mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries for me?! they lasts & lasts & lasts! :bsmilie:

 

[Antzzz]

I got the MAHA 801C charger for $129 and they throw in 8 Powerex batteries FOC.
Other batteries are Sony (good), Sanyo (average) & GP (eek.. no comments)

Wow, thats bad. Though Sanyo should be fine.

Very HOT in operation... :sweat:

 

[junkai21]

i chose Others
I'm using Camelion 2600 batteries on my flash which can last me for about 400 shots using Sony 56' Flash.

They are good and i feel it can hold the charge for very long. Im using their 1hr quick charger too!
i bought it for 40plus for a pack of 4batteries and close to 100plus for the charger at a distributor price as my father know the exporter

I think it could be a bad batch of 2,500. The office at Heeren could change for you. There is a thread on this. Do a search.

 

[felixcat8888]

I use the following:
PowerEx 2700
Camelion 2600
Energizer 2500
GP 2700
Eneloop 2000
ReCyko+ 2100
OEM 2000 (from Hong Kong) - funny that these 2 sets I have can really last as they are not the Enelopp equivalent)

 

[synapseman]

PowerEx 2700 & GP 2700 for photographic applications.
Also keep a pack of 4 Energizer e2 alkalines in my bag as emergency standby.

Non-photographic use (like in R/C modelling, batt. powered hand-tools, etc)
GP ReCycKo+

I've somehow lost confidence in Sanyo.
