Rechargable Batteries\Charger

[techbeck]

Ok, so after several years, it is time to replace my rechargeable batteries.  I was using Energizer 2300mah and they lasted well.  Was curious if anyone has other recommendations?  I am looking for AA and AAA.

 

Also looking for a new charger.  One night of playing my XBOX, and having a few, I swapped out my batteries and put non rechargeables in the charger.  Long story short, the batteries leaked/exploded and charger is ruined.  Sad since I had that think for several years.  Anyway, not real worried about charging my batteries in an hour but looking for one that does 8 at a time.  Ideas? 

 

Thanks

Look at your local retail stores. Walgreens or Radioshack should have something. IIRC, they all do the same thing.

Yea, but some are better than others. Been reading reviews and they are sketchy.  I may just stick with what I had but wanted options.

I use ones from Sanyo and they're great.

Enegizer is about your best bet out of any.

I use the eneloop line

I had ordered this back dec 2013, and paid $27 for it - crazy that it shows price of $63 now?

Do a search for eneloop XX and you get different options/prices.  :)

Yeah I would never in a million years pay 63$ ;) But that is the link from my order email, and it was $27 when I ordered it -- looks like a newer model from panasonic for like price I paid.

But the batteries have performed well.

Looks fine. Decent charger that won't make the batteries explode. Lots of size adapters. Hardly any complaints about the Eneloop line, which is something rather rare in the realm of online reviews.

i use sanyo & i have to replace the batteries in my xbox one controller every 5 days

 

that's playing about 5 to 6 hours a day
