Do you really charge your batteries and not use them for over a month or go 6-9 months before using them?
My uses are mixed. The P&S often sits idle for a month or two before suddenly getting called into action. The Pentax gear usually only parks for a week or two (I'm more of a weekend road-warrier). I have active-noise-reducing headphones (Sennheiser) that will go for months with a couple of AAA's in them before I need the active circuitry to be powered.
I dont. I have three sets. I fully charge one set, put in camera. if and when that dies, I have two other sets fully charged ready to go at any time on a trickle charger.
That's a good way to go, though it requires a few chargers.
I dont need those kind of batteries and I doubt you do either unless you actually only have one set of battteries and like to charge them and then not use the camera for weeks or months.
I have one good charger that I paid $80 for. I'm not going to buy several more, one for each battery set I have on trickle charge constantly. I have several sets of cells, in-camera and ready for use; in-kit-bag and ready for swapping with the in-camera ones.
OK, we've identified that my usage and yours vary such that you have no need for these cells. I like 'em, they can be used like regular dry cells (some people put them in TV remotes), they work for me. They apparently suit a few other people too.
