Bro,

User rechargeables better. Lasts longer too.

I use the following:
PowerEx - 2700 - EastGear
Energizer - 2500 - NTUC/Cold Storage
Camelion - 2600 - SwissCo - High Street
GP ReCyko+ - 2100 - DIY/NTUC/Cold Storage

For standby - Energizer Lithium AA

I got the Maha 401 together with 4 PowerEx 2700 for around $60 at M S Color.

Energizer with charger is $61.90 with 4 2500s at Cold Storage/NTUC

if you think those are too exp. here another option.

NEXcell.
8xAA 2600 mAH for $20.
1Hr fast charger (max 4xAA) for $16.

Goto singapore yahoo auction and search for them under NEXcell. I bought from them b4, the batteries are not bad (I still prefer sanyo thou), but the charger s##ks. The one I have now still can charge very well, but a bit siao already. Just dunno when will it retire.

I've tried 3 brands :
  • SANYO 2500 was dissappointing
  • TORIYAMA 2600 (long lasting, bought @ Bkk Motorshow on offer), If you Go Thai, rfecommended
  • POWEREX 2700 (just bought fm MS to replace SANYO, so far 2nd use, quite lasting)
