What's the best rechargeable batteries on the market?

I have a Finepix S5800 that takes 4 AA.

Thanks Rodney.
Before I order from them have you bought from the website before? If so is it all ok?

Regards,

Dave

I did some nerdy reasearch on rechargeable AA recently, for using in a digital camera.

Apparantly Sanyo are the daddys.

There is a guy who runs tests on batteries and posts his results on some forum I found, he measures how long they retain charge for, how long they run stuff for, their capacity after how-ever-many charges; all sorts of stuff.

He rated these.

Although they have slightly lower capacity Than the 2700 or 2800mah batteries they retain a higher percentage of their maximum capacity for longer after continual charging and use.

I bought some recently but haven't had cause to use them yet.

Hello, as mentioned 7 day shop are fine to order from, the delivery turn around is about 5 days. They also do great prices for memory cards, CDR's and DVDR's.

Just looking on the Maplin website.

Some rechargeable Batteries are 'tagged' which cost a little more.

What's tagged?

Cakey said "no one knows a womans mind". Not even a woman.

Bough loads from 7dayshop and never had a problem. Some cheap lens filters for cameras and flash units, studio in a bag and a small tripod.
