I like the Rayovac IC3 NiMH 15 minute rechargeables. NiMH batteries can deliver a lot of current all at once, which I think makes up for the fact that the voltage is lower than an alkaline (1.2 instead of 1.5). They do cost a lot ($30 for 4 at Radio (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Back then we did all sorts of things to get the batteries to last (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm really happy with the Energizer NiMH rechargeables - 2500mAh - 4 for $18 at Home Depot. I have 2 sets of 6, and I use them in my digital camera as well. I use a normal recharger - 5 hours. I'd estimate 30-60 minutes on a charge - depending (...) (20 years ago, 11-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
