Best Rechargable Batteries for Wedding Shoot

m3lv1nh0 · 2nd April 2008

Hi Guys,

I'm currently using Energizer Advance batteries for my flash which I have to replace every shoot. I find that it's not good for the enviroment and my pocket so I am wondering what you weddings gurus use for your shoot? Which brand is good and can fufill the requirements for a full day event? Thanks

I have one set of sanyo eneloops and one set of powerex.
Both last as long to me. They hold their charge very well too.

Powerex 2700mAh, 24 pieces for one wedding, to use on two flashes, one SD-8A.

Thanks Guys..

I got myself 8 Powerex AA battery and a charger.
Charged the batteries and tried it on my Sigma flash.. and suddenly my flash stopped working.. I thought it's fried..change to normal batteries.. on and off also doesn't work... but the next day, without doing anything my flash came back to life again.. very strange.

I'm using Maha PowerEx IMEDION.

Check out the detail user review on DPRview:

Among the AA cells the Maha IMEDION have the best 4-week results. The Kodak are respectable second, and low price and high availability will make them the preferred choice for many.
