Any idea what capacity the AA batteries are?
Any idea if the charger would be of any use for 2800Mah AA's that I already have?
Do you really need a good charger to get the best charge out of high capacity rechargables?

I have some tronic rechargeables and they are really cack, they dont hold a charge for any more than a few days at the most, and although the ones I have are 2500, they don't last anywhere near as long as my uniross 2500's
