You've been drinking or smoking, John. ;-)
Eneloop NiMh rechargeables for flash units make the most sense if
you're going to use them often. Maintenance ... deal with it. ;-)
I don't use flash all that often so I use Lithium disposables.
If you're really serious about doing weddings on a regular basis, get
a high-capacity power pack for your AF540FGZ. I wouldn't even consider
taking wedding jobs without two of them and a backup flash unit, at
the very least.

Anyone available to answer an alliteratively quaint and quick

Well, I was wondering what's the best battery to buy for frequent-
flash photography. The bullshit batteries I bought for last
weekend's white wedding were obviously obsolete for that oddysey of
outbusts.
Alkalines are available all around, yet vary in their veracity and
voltage volume. Lithiums last a lot longer, but buying them by the
bag begets broke-ness. Rechargeables require regular monotonous
mainenance and more money at the moment of purchase, but procurement
provides a pre-existing power population in your pocket that pooh-
poohs spurious substitution by shoddy successors.
Recycle rates, really, are the reason I ask about all this. My
Pentax AF540FGZ needs a new and nubile change in the charge-
chamber. Previous performance pooped out posthaste, posing a problem.
Suggestions?
