I find the Energizer rechargeables to be terrible at holding a charge.

They're so bad that I too switched to using Energizer Lithiums, but
that brings its own set of problems. In my *ist D the initial drain

Derby, there's apparently a few 3V Lithium rechargables out there.
These will be safe, the 3.6V ones won't.

I never had much luck with Nimh batteries in my D or my flashes until
Rob mentioned the La Crosse charger. It charges each cell
individually, so each reaches peak voltage. It also can be used to
discharge and to cycle/refresh the batteries. I use it with 1200 Sony
batteries for my flashes,
Eneloop. I won't buy any normal NiMH anymore, they loose charge very
quickly. I have seen other Eneloop type NiMH (If the package claims
they are allready charged in the factory).

The Eneloops are very good at holding a charge over a long period of
time. They are around 2200 amphr or maybe a little more. The price has
been droping on them lately and are around 10.00 per set of 4, maybe
less. Any Nickle Metal Hydride charger will work with them I believe.

Damn those batteries are expensive, that should be less than $40.00
not $401.00, if they could get that much for a set of AA batteries, I'd
