IMHO, Sanyo Eneloop 2000 cells are the best value out there. They work well and are Low Self Discharge (LSD) cells. They are available at Costco, or on-line from various Amazon suppliers. Sanyo really got the chemistry right, and I highly recommend them along with the KXBC3, especially if this is your first experience with NiMH cells. IMHO, the higher capacity non-LSD cells simply aren't worth the trouble of trying to keep them charged.
Simply put, the Eneloops work good and last a long time. I have beat them up in home use for several years now, and they are great so long as you don't run them below about 0.9v/cell. The KX3 will make sure that doesn't happen. Hope this helps.
