Energizer 2500mhA rechargeable batteries

[Adiemus]

Anyone in CS using these? What's the discharge rate like?
Looking for a reliable alternative to the SANYO 2500mhA batteries.

The Energizer ones are pretty expensive, costs about $29 for 4 pieces of AA. Anyone got lobang for large quantities in low prices? I'm sure there are fellow photographers who would want to make the switch.

allo Adiemus, i also looking for alternatives & eyeing on the Sony. there r 2 types for Sony, the normal orange ones & the blue Stamina ones. waiting for others to try out before i jump. they r cheaper than Energizer too.

NTUC was selling the Energizer 2500 for $19.70 until 20/10/2005(yesterday). Majority of the supermart are selling above $25.

actually with the recent issues of batt problems, i won't personally try the fast chargers as it is well know that such chargers generate a lot of heat for the batteries (Too hot to touch in fact after charging). Heat can potentially damage your AA cells

I have the 2100, 2300 and 2500 energizer batt. After using the energizer 15hr charger to charge..after about 3-4 days. the 2500 still can manage about 150-200 shots , But the ridiculous 15hrs charge time prompt me to upgrade to maha charger and sanyo batteries.. and I sold away 2 sets of my 1850 batt... using the maha to charge my 2500 energizer batt.. no problem... but.. cost is one issue..

Using fast charger to charge batteries will reduce the charge cycle life of the battery. For NiMH batteries, it is recommended to recharge at 0.1C or 250mA for 2500mAh battery.

Of course Sanyo dominates when it comes to rechageable batteries...

Sanyo is the world's No. 1 manufacturer (retail/OEM) of rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride batteries...
