What AA batteries do you use?

[Wide-J]

What AA batteries do you prefer in your digital camera? I have been using the recharagable ones but they don't cut it anymore. I am using a point and shoot Sony Cybershot digital camera.

I just buy the 36 pack of energizer for $15 at home depot once in a while. ...but I have a point and shoot.

I HATE rechargeable AA batteries. After a while they simply don't Charge...defeating the purpose of their existence.

Whatever is the cheapest battery. The battery companies put out all this crap about extended life, but really proved it with the way they undercut each that its all about price

Great, thanks! I just read some reviews about the Ulitmate Lithums now and other people are swearing by them too. I see Best Buy has them so I'll have to swing by and pick them up soon. I'm going backpacking for 4 days in April so I dont want to carry alot of batteries, just 4 quality ones that will last the trip.

If best buy is selling them, you can be sure they are trying to get you to "put them in all your digital devices for extended use" which means "buy these batteries marked up at a ridiculous price because they are in this stupid store"

I've been using a set in my 360 controllers, and I absolutely love them. They last SOOOOOO much longer than the stupid battery packs, and I save money by not having to buy batteries.

But, an Xbox controller is a little different than a digital camera

I have Energizer Rechargeable AA's and for the most part I like them. Mostly because I havnt had to buy batteries in 2 years. My camera eats batteries and these seem to hold a charge as long as regular ones still/ And a major plus is that they charge in 15 minutes. Sometimes they last longer than other times tho, maybe some sets are just dying faster than others.

If your interested in some inside information a real good friend of mine is an engineer at enigizer and he told me the knock off batteries like evenrude or everready are exactly the same as generic energizer batteries. He says enegizer owns those companies and just use the same battery with a different lable. The price difference is substancial too so it's worth knowing.

This is what I was getting at. For one of my business courses, we are analyzing industry structures and the battery industry was one of them. What is interesting about the battery industry(two big names and a third that is way behind in market share) is that it is setup very similar to the consumer soft drink industry, yet there is no real brand loyalty like there is in soda and people buy on price.
