does anyone use these for their flashguns? How do they compare to eneloop?
I've had cheap 7 Day Shop branded 2800mAH rechargable batteries in the past and they were utter rubbish. A total false economy.
I've got loads of these and they seem fine to me?
so "eneloops" for me now - where's the cheapest to buy on-line ....?
How are you measuring their performance? Are yours delivering the performance promised by the figures claimed?
Whilst we are on the battery topic, can someone recommend a good value for money charger?

Whilst 7 day shop sell the eneloops at about £7 they also sell a package for about £8.50 including a charger. It works
Id never use a fast charger, they totally destroy batteries, i use this and charge them at the lowest speed, the batteries warm up allot less and have a longer life.
That's all fine and dandy, but if you have 4 or 5 sets of batteries to charge and two shoots in two days you're buggered. iIll accept shorter life for the speed.
aye, 1-2 hours is a good compromise. And I use a LOT of batteries... the 7dayshop 8 bay charger is good no complaints with their own brand good to go's either really (who REALLY cares how charged they are when they arrive....?), my testing is real world rather than number crunching, but they work just as well as eneloops / infiniums as far as I can tell...

What would be a fast charger? The tiny one above surely can't be that fast?Id never use a fast charger, they totally destroy batteries, i use this and charge them at the lowest speed, the batteries warm up allot less and have a longer life.
Can I use a "Quick Charger" to charge an eneloop battery?
Though it is possible to charge an eneloop battery in a "Quick Charger", it is not recommended. We recommend charging eneloop batteries in a NiMh charger that is 2 hours or more. Charging eneloop batteries in a "Quick Charger" can reduce the overall life of the battery.
