In my personel opinion the best re-chargable batteries at the moment. Brilliant for digital cameras, we had 4 in our Canon & took 900 photo's with out them running out. They hold their charge when other re-chargable's will lose their charge, even when not being used. Now have 30 off them.

Fameart PC15 Charger with 4 x AA Sanyo Eneloop Batteries - CLEARANCE

A superb price deal on this top quality Ni-Mh battery charger which is supplied complete with four superb AA Sanyo Eneloop batteries. Eneloop batteries come pre-charged and ready to use and maintain their charge for a very long time COMPARED WITH NORMAL Ni-Mh batteries. Eneloop batteries are rechargeable up to 1,000 times and are capacity rated at 2000mAh and will offer you excellent performance.
The Fameart PC15 charger plugs directly into the mains (UK 3 pin) and is able to charge both Ni-Cad and Ni-Mh types as well as AA or AAA size batteries (in sets of 2). With built in IC timer and auto current selection.

    I've heard very good things about eneloop. Just weighing up if this is a good deal though. I got the new Duracells, and they're above 4000mAh and cost £13 for 4, but no charger.

    Duracell AA's 4000mAh? Please tell me more...

    Eneloop are great - I'm still very irritated about the set in one of Baby Harper's toys that have disappeared - either I don't know which toy they're in, or grandad has replaced them and chucked them out!

    Doh.. They're not above 4000mAh after all - unless you're using 2 of them together.

    They're these ones: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Duracell-Supreme-Rechargeable-Ni-Mh-Batteries---AA-2650_W0QQitemZ260634186862QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=136483930571&rvr_id=136483930571&cguid=5ebf7dca1290a0aad4f7ec87feb0f1e1

    Although that's really really cheap.

    I can't tell you how good they are yet, as they're being used in variable-use devices, a wireless keyboard and an arcade stick. But neither has run out so far after a few months.

    But makes the eneloops more of a bargain!!

    I'm not sure you're comparing like for like here - eneloops, etc. hold their charge for years (>85% after a year) and come precharged. I think your Duracells are normal rechargeables. Not the same thing.

    Eneloops are great for infrequent use, but not for high drain devices. GP do Recyko, and Uniross Hybrio. Duracell have their own version too - can't remember the branding used for that. The capacity of these hybrid batteries is less than normal NiMH rechargeables but as I say the key flipside is they hold their charge. Normal ones, if unused, will lose charge, and if you do that often, they become useless.

    If you paid £13 for 4 of those, even 2650mAh, I'm sorry to say you were ripped off!

    Yeah, you may be right. To be honest, I saw them and decided to treat myself, and considering I've been using some 1000mAh cheapies, it's not really a problem, but the Eneloops may be better for what I need.
