I am finally getting to my pre-storm season prep-up, and am about to buy some AA and AAA sizes of Eneloop rechargeable batteries and a small charger.
Looks like these have been available since 2007, but the latest generation have better charge retention in storage, plus can do more recharge cycles than previous batteries.
Our usage of those battery sizes is mainly headlamps, small LED flashlights/lanterns, and a camera. We usually buy jumbo packs of disposable batteries at Costco, but pricing for a starter kit of 10 AA, 4 AAA and a small charger on Amazon is around $42. The charger is the kind that can do 1 to 4 batteries, whereas some require charging in pairs which can lead to faster battery failure if the pairs being charged are at unequal power levels.
Does anyone have experience with these?
