Do you use rechargeable batteries?

[bumags]

Which brands are best buys?

Are the bundled chargers okay or is it better to buy a dedicated charger that prolongs the battery life?

Two years ago I bought Energizer 2500mah batteries sa states. Last year up to four days na lang ang tinatagal niya (I've been using the 15-min charger). Gamit ko lang lagi sa digicam. One charge can take about 300-400 shots (one whole day). Pero sa fourth day discharge na bigla. I don't know kung sa charger o sa battery mismo.

Mahina talaga ang mga Energizer 2500mah batteries with respect to shelf life in terms of charge retention. Mas mahaba ang NiCds.

Nakagamit din ako ng mga Energizer 2500mah batteries. 1 year lang nagamit. Fast charger pero 1 hour to charge 4 batteries.

I would recommend Eneloops NiMH batteries. Kahit ilan buwan na, lakas pa ng charge.

i think daming bad batch sa 2500mAH na rechargeable batteries, i have 8 sanyo 2500mAH madali rin magdischarge kahit di mo gamitin after charge magdischarge sya halfday, mas ok pa ang 2100mAH ko na SONY at 2300mAH na panasonic can last days...

ayos din yung mga KODAK rechargeable batteries tagal din maglobat kalevel nya mga SONYbatts

same here, may binili din akong GP batteries ,naka dalawang sa saoli na ako ganun pa din mabilis ma drain, ang masama pa nito nag sstuck yung lense ng digicam pag nag drain yung batt. di kaya mga pirated itong mga ito?

don"t buy SONY BRAND 2100 and 2500 mAH sayang lang pera, I bought 20 pcs last year sa showrrom ng sony mismo, ang bilis ng discharge niya 2-3 days lang w/o using discharge na agad, last week nag email ako sa sony to complain nag reply namn sila agad next day requesting me to submit what model ng battery, date of purchase and name of dealer for them to investigate DAW, nag reply naman agad ako with scan copy of receipt, after that wala na silang reply , nainis ako binalik ko lahat ng binili ko sa kanila thru courier , 8 pcs naka sealed pa, attn: ko sa president, sad to say lampas na 1 week wala pa rin feedback , try ENELOOP brand so far ok naman

if you can find a bundled panasonic (4 battery rechargeable with panasonic charger), eto ang matagal ang magdrain as i've experience

[Honda97]

san makakabili ng eneloop na brand? usually GP at energizer yung nakikita ko... similar yung experience ko sa energizer batteries. at first, they work fine, but after a month or so, they tend to lose their ability to retain their charge. after a day or two, wala na.

Can we use non-energizer brand rech.batteries sa energizer charger?

[radiazone]

pwedeng pwede... actually brand name lang yan,you can charge any battery as per specification ng charger mo...
