??? How can they have lower internal resistance and longer shelf life? That seems contradictory to me.
Is the difference in self-discharge for the Eneloops over standard NiMH as much as they claim? I have been wondering about that for awhile, I have several NiMH setting around doing nothing simply because when I want to use something they are 3/4 dead from self-discharge. I am currently using lithium drycells in almost everything that takes AA's for that reason. -graywolf Digital Image Studio wrote: > On 26/01/07, Cory Papenfuss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Bottom line: Cheap cells illustrate a higher internal impedance >> than higher quality cells... even at the same mAH rating.
