Sanyo Eneloop AA.

No mention of lithium ion? That's all I use. 18650s and 14500s, mostly.

Quoted:

I have a handheld GPS (Magellan) which requires 2 akaline 'AA' batteries and it will NOT run with either NiCD or MiNH rechargeables.

Any links Skillshot ??



18650's and 14500's ...........D cells.............AA ??



Is a different charger necessary ??

Most of the rechargeables you come across now will be NIMH. NiCad is something you have to look hard for, like at RC shops. The NiCad excels at extemely high output and fast charge times.



The low self discharge are considerably more robust than the high amphour batts, and take room away that could have been used for storing power otherwise. They also tend to do better than high capacity batteries in high discharge applications.



The lithium ion are a specialized battery that works in very few applications. It works at three times the voltage, requires a special charger, and loose cells require special care in use. Some flashlights allow their use, but beyond that they are a no go. You can't throw them in your digicam, mini mag, clock radio, remote control, etc.



I find that I use a lot of the AA and AAA batts, and have been using the Eneloops and their smart charger( which I don't think they sell anymore) for almost two years now. It is a lot easier to put batteries on the charger than to keep stocks around the house, and considerably cheaper. You can also get ahold of cheaper chargers that will run off 12v, which would be nice in a power outage. Use a smart charger normally, and then use the 12v one in an emergency. The smart charger will keep the batts in better shape.

A-C,

not arguing with you but I see a good many Nicad around.

Thanks for the input re lithium ion.

Lacrosse BC-700 charger. Finally found the specs......turns out the specs are in the pictures. Seems to be a good charger. I'll wait on the one I have on the way but will probably get this charger too.

Self-Discharge: Why Conventional Rechargeables Don't Cut It



Conventional rechargeable batteries have numerous advantages that make them great to use for your portable electronics. But they also come with certain disadvantages. After purchase, rechargeable batteries have to be charged before they can be used. And once charged, rechargeable batteries lose the stored energy rather fast. The charging takes quite long and rapid chargers are expensive. Not only that, but continuous charging or frequent charge to "top off" the lost energy (without complete discharge) can destroy the battery.



All these negative attributes have one root-cause: self discharge. Self-discharge means that a charged battery slowly discharges itself without any equipment consuming any current. This is the reason for rechargeable batteries being sold in a discharged state. And this is the reason that keeping charged batteries for some time did not make any sense. When you needed them, the energy was gone. Sanyo eneloop batteries have an extremely low rate of self-discharge, which means they hold their stored energy for a very long time––charge your batteries once and put them in your kitchen drawer, and over a year from now you'll still be able to use them right away, without needing to charge them again.



Under the Hood: How eneloop Controls Self-Discharge



How can the self-discharge in the eneloop be so reduced? The self-discharge of Ni-MH batteries is caused by three main reasons:

• The chemical decomposition of the cathode



• The natural disaggregation of the anode



• Impurities of the anode

The chemical decomposition of the cathode has been reduced substantially by the use of a new hydrogen-absorbing superlattice alloy. As an additional benefit the superlattice alloy increases the electrical capacity of the battery and reduces the internal resistance, which allows higher discharge currents than conventional rechargeables. Also, the anode has been strengthened by the improvement of the electrolyte composition, which reduces the natural decomposition by increasing the oxygen over-voltage.



This gives eneloop batteries a number of advantages over traditional alkaline batteries, including up to four times more power when used in a digital camera, high performance even at low temperatures (down to 23 degrees F) during your winter vacation, and a vast cost savings in the long run. The eneloop advantages are even more glaring when compared to typical NiMH batteries: not only are they ready for use right out of the box, but they generally last longer than most NiMH batteries (continuous and frequent recharging can destroy other NiMH models) and save both time and money (traditional NiMH charging is slow when you're in a hurry, while rapid chargers are expensive). All told, you can recharge eneloop batteries up to 1,000 times without experiencing a "memory effect"––just charge the amount you need and you're set.

These are actually some pretty nice low cost NiMhs. Be advised after the first order, they send you a nice discount on your next one.
