I used to use rechargeables, but for the past 6 months have been using the CR3V's and have been pleasantly surprised at the life. I change batteries about once every 3 months (based on my light to moderate use). They are about $10 a piece; however, when ever Walgreen's has a special I load up on several packages at $10 per set of 2. I have nothing against the rechargeables; I just seem to prefer the CRV3's.

cheapest i have seen for the rayovac hybridshave been $8.97 for a 4-pack at wal-mart. roy, do you know of a cheaper source?
the price at circuitcity.com for the eneloops for an 8-pack is $14.96, or $7.48 for 4 batteries. the rayovac hybrids, duracell precharged, and eneloops are all the same battery type, so any of those will do. which ever you can find at the lowest cost. |

Just bought an eight pack of Eneloops at CC for $17.99. My Eveready's would only hold a charge for three days. So far still on the first four.

i use to be so worried about batteries before i switched and now i'll go out without a backup set. the set i used in my fuji s7000 that my wife uses went 7 months before it needed a recharge.. what a concept...
looks like a really good price at CC. i'd go get a set but the 4 sets i've got give me plenty peace of mind.. another concept.. roy |

I have gotten good results from 2650mAh Duracell NiMH (2500mAh Energizers were toast after about a year of use). I will look out for the Rayovac Hybrids, they sound like a good choice.
