Batteries Charger VS Batteries capacity
2 years ago, I bought a one hour NIMH charger. That charger came with
2300mah batteries. What's append if I bought new batteries with more capacity like 2700mah or 2900mah ? The charger will not charge completly the batteries? or it doesnt matter? Do we need to buy new charger everytime when the compagny create new batteries with more capacity? Thanks Patrick |

What's append if I bought new batteries with more capacity like 2700mah or 2900mah ? The charger will not charge completly the batteries? or it doesnt matter? It does not matter as all one hour chargers are not controlled by a timer but by feedback from the batteries. When fully charged, the temperature of the battery goes up and the voltage at the battery terminals drops slightly, the charger terminates the rapid charge upon detecting this. The better ones maintain a low current trickle charge current however after they have switched off. If you are into buying new NiMHs you might want to look for what I just bought two weeks ago: New generation NiMHs which do not claim higher capacity but very low self discharge (should have like 85% of their charge after a year in storage) and 1000 charge / discharge cycles. They are more expensive, but if they keep the promise, they are worth it. They are called Eneloop and are made by Sanyo. Of course nobody has long term experience with these. Do we need to buy new charger everytime when the compagny create new batteries with more capacity? Definately No Thanks Patrick A |

Definately No Thanks Patrick A Not much more expensive, I paid $12 at Ritz retail (tho only place I've seen them retail). Can't comment except to say never charged, 640 shots so far and still shooting. I was in Walmart and saw batteries by Rayovac called Hybrids. They claim to have 4x less self discharge than regular NiMH. They were rated at 2100mah (1000mah for AAA's) and claimed 80% or their charge after 6 months. There is some cooperation between Sanyo and Rayovac, see http://wistechnology.com/article.php?id=786 and judge for yourself. Dave Cohen |

Batteries Charger VS Batteries capacity
If I understand...
If I'm looking for battries who will give me more picture with my digital camera and I dont care about the fact that maybe I will need to recharge it every day, it's better for me to by new 2900mah batteries ? right? The only advantage I see with eneloop it's you can store it for a long time and it will still have a lot of power... Is that correct? Thanks again!

Dave Cohen Between 2000mah and 2100mah, but I've never got anywhere near the shots I'm getting now with other 2000mah's and I'm still waiting for eneloops to run down. Dave Cohen |
