When you have something like a flashgun
That EATS AA batteries
Do you go for rechargeable batteries , or good quality batteries ?
I don't fancy having to buy a 4 pack every time I use my flash
Agreedo they still do non-rechargeables? Those should be banned by some green regulations if they are not.
Agree
But at the same time you can argue normal batteries can be recycled
...but the electricity you use to charge rechargeables up consumes fossil fuels ...
And to manufacture rechargeables too...Do you not use electricity to manufacture disposables? It think a lot more than simply charging them up
Think I'll go with the 7 day shop
And to manufacture rechargeables too...
But it's neither here nor there I suppose

For 1 kWh of energy produced, rechargeable batteries have:
23 times less potential impact on non-renewable natural resources
This indicator translates the decreasing availability of natural resources. Rechargeable batteries consume up to 23 times less non-renewable natural resources (fossil and mineral) than disposable batteries. To provide the same amount of energy, more disposable batteries are needed than rechargeable batteries. This implies a greater consumption of natural resources.
28 times less potential impact on climate change
Climate change means an increase in the average temperature of the earth’s surface caused by an increase in the greenhouse gas effect.
Rechargeable batteries have up to 28 times less impact on climate warming than disposable batteries. This ratio can mainly be explained by the impact caused when manufacturing disposable batteries and distributing them (transportation in trucks and the related greenhouse gas emissions).
30 times less potential impact on air pollution (ozone pollution)
Photochemical oxidation is responsible for peaks of ozone and emissions of compounds toxic to man. Rechargeable batteries have up to 30 times less impact on ozone pollution than disposable batteries.
9 times less potential impact on air acidification
The air acidification indicator consists in the accumulation of acidifying substances in the atmosphere particules. Deposited in ecosystems by rain, they have a strong impact on soil and ecosystems. Rechargeable batteries have up to 9 times less impact on air acidification than disposable batteries.
12 times less potential impact on water pollution
The sedimentary ecotoxicity indicator evaluates potential toxic risks due to the emission of chemicals into aquatic ecosystems. Rechargeable batteries have up to 12 times less potential toxic risks for fresh water and sea water sediments.
i use ansmann photocam3 work great hold their charge and super fast recharge time hth mike
these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ansmann-Photocam-Charger-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00EDN7NMS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386621445&sr=1-1&keywords=ansmann photocam make sure to get 2000+ mAh batteries.
they are 1900mah you should read my earlier post 2000 minimum hth mikeI was thinking this looked pretty good
Eneloop x 4 aa with intelligent charger £17.49

Are AA and AAA rechargeables now the full 1.5 volts needed or are they still mostly a pathetic 1.2 volts which is useless in many items? A lot of them last a fraction of the time of proper batteries. I've gone back to real ones for some uses.
Rechargeables seem to work really well in flashguns though.
i see you say there ok for flashguns though which is exactly what the op wants them for. also its the mah that matters and in this case bigger is better mine are 2700mah and last all night at partys /christenings etc cheers mikeAre AA and AAA rechargeables now the full 1.5 volts needed or are they still mostly a pathetic 1.2 volts which is useless in many items?

that charger is 200mah charge rate the ansmann is 500mah and will charge your batteries 2.5 times quicker. also no light on the unit to tell you when finished hth mike
top left of the eneloop packaging they are 1800mah please keep checking before you buy cheers mike
