I got a set of 12 encore 2500's on ebay a while ago, last for ages in the 580EX. Allegedly thery're the same as the uniross ones

I use 2800's from ebay.

Not used the 580 much to see how long they last yet.

I use Energizer 2500s in my SB-600, last ages, can charge the flash up silly fast and cost me a tenner for four batteries and a charger :)

I use uniross 2700 for my sb 600 as divine_madness says lasts a long time and quick to charge the flash

Avoid Hahnel AAs like the plague - I had some for another camera and they lasted about two months before refusing to charge :thumbsdown:

I've got a bunch of Kodak NiMHs (not sure of the mA rating) and they work a treat.

7DayShop 2700s in mine, got two sets and they last forever.

Get Uniross of any mAh rating, they really never die!!

In case anyone is interested Lidl have packs of 4 Tronic 2500mah for £1.99 just now.

I've got a real mixture of AA rechargeables and I just use whatever's handy in the flashgun, although I always use four of the same brand. They seem to last for yonks. :)
