Dudes i need advice

[Burzhui]

Well i have realized that if i keep on buying disposable bateries i will go brokie broke because my cd/mp3 player likes to munch on them... in any case i need to buy rechargeble batteries and a charger... any suggestions

[BrewMaster]

I've used Rayovac Renewal and Eveready brands and they've been good. Make sure you buy enough to keep using while the others charge. Good call on the rechargeable, you're saving money (hopefully) and the environment.

Also Radio Shack has some decent ones (my dad uses them). Try to get batteries that can be charged on other brands of chargers and a charger that supports other brand batteries. That way you can change brands when you find good deals. Not sure if most do that now, but back in the day the maufacturers bound you to their products (sneaky bastards).

He didn't tell you about the relationship between his girlfriend, her batteries, himself, a some random french-canadian.

Get some decent NiMH rechargables. They are MUCH better than NiCad, and also have better capacity. The better AA-size are something like 1600 ma.

$20 - $25 for 4 batts and a charger i think is acceptable.

[Burzhui]

Umm dudes, i got an energizer charger and 4 bats for 25 bucks, the batteries are NiMH 1600 mAh but they are 1.2V now i am not sure about this, i mean aren't the plain AA batteries 1.5V?

[DoPeY5007]

Yeah the Duracell AA in my pager is 1.5v....

[Burzhui]

can anybody tell me if their double A rechargeble batteries are 1.5 or 1.2?

[DoPeY5007]

The Re-Chargable one that came with my Nomad is

Creative AA Ni-MH 1.2v 1600mAh

[Burzhui]

thanks dopey i guess that's how they're supposed to be, how long do they last you?

[DoPeY5007]

The recargable is on nomad and when I used it I would just put it back on the docking station every night, I never let it drain all the way...

but it realy depends on the device and the usage to determain how long the charge will last....
