Even when they're new, I've been told that Nicker Metal Hydride batteries

batteries are much better that way.

Hi Punk... (somehow that doesn't feel right

I agree that they do self-discharge as all batteries do;
but I think that 1% per day is greatly exaggerated...

Nevertheless, even if it were fact; then instead of
going out and taking a couple hundred pics, he'd be
down to only 186... hardly noticable.

Take care.
