I am having trouble with rechargeable AA batteries, and looked up the reviews and the Sanyo NEW 1500 eneloop came up with a good review. Has any one had an experience with them. About 25% of the ones I have been buying do not hold up to the charging, even some times before being charge do not come up to voltage. I have meter for checking them so I can cull the bad ones.

I have some Energizer ones and haven't had a problem. I don't use them in my camera though.

I have used some in my camera in the past and they started to leak so I stopped doing that. Now I use them with my cordless computer mouse. I don't think they will last long with a speed light due to the use.

Go read Ken Rockwell on them. He loves them.
I may go to Costco today and buy 40 AA and 20 AAA on sale. Need them for 4 speed lights and remotes.

We use Sanyo Eneloops for our 10 loaner kit cameras and the ones we use on our office.
They keep a charge.

Thanks of updates. I have been having trouble finding consistence in from battery to battery. That is why I starting checking reviews and come up with the reports. I tried to find them locally and I only found them At Amazon or Ebay.

I have used 2000mAhNiMH they lose power if they sit around. They have to be charged or checked before you use them.

I keep buying new types of batteries when people recommend them. A day or two ago, MT recommended nickel zinc batteries - 1.6 volts. They are available from Amazon for $18 with charger and four batteries. I already have too many AA's or I'd try them.

The Sanyo enneloops are like hen's teeth around here. I had to get mine on Amazon. I bought them for my speedlight but have not used them yet. If they live up to thier reputation and reviews, I don't see why anyone would use anything else.

I'm looking seriously at these because I have a few speedlights and such...here is a review of these batteries.
