[Elecraft] Nickel Zinc Batteries

2013-01-05 Thread István Szabó
I use AA and AAA sizes for different purposes, simply great. NIMH can 
not compete with them due to similar voltages like batteries. Needs 
special charger like Volcraft CM410 from Conrad. Pack  price went up 
while MIMH pack price went down this year.

Anyone tried these in AA size? There seem to both advantages and disadvantages.

I had bought a 4 pack, with matching charger, a few years ago, and regretted 
wasting my money. I've seen others have luck with them, but they self-discharged 
so quickly they couldn't be counted on in any device more than a couple weeks.


I'm sticking with Eneloops.

Just my two cents.
