In practice, I've found the recharge time to be longer with the eneloops. However, that being said, I have some excellent NIMH cells that I use with my flashes. They definitely outperform the energizers that I once used, so they may not be typical. I think the brand name is Nuvo, but I'm not sure. (I'd have to go look, and I"m feeling a bit under the weather.:-). I got them from a place that deals only in batteries. It's called "battery central," a local shop with knowledgable personnel and a wide range of battery choices. > > -- > Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) > Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours > Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
