To all..... I ordered 8 rechargable batteries from ZBattery at a good price. I have stayed away from rechargable batteries because of the 1.2 volts per AA battery. However these are the high capacity batteries <<2450 amp hr.>> What do you think for my K1? At 9.6 volts I am not sure what power output I will have... If it doesn't work out for the K1 I can always use them in my dig. camera! Hi Paul, Presume you meant 2450mAhr AA size. 2450Ahr is something quite huge that unless the very latest high capacity (and expensive) block NiMh cells are used, would entail you using a trailer to haul them about. We had 3750Ahr 2V lead acid batteries cells in the workplace com site's solar powered battery plant and they were big! The 2450mAhr AA version is as you say very usable in digital cameras, but you do need to keep them charged up as they seem to gradually go flat if left in the camera for a long period of time. Another downside is the increase in capacity had brought on a very definitely noticeable rise in weight.
