which rechargeable nimh

Needing to get myself sorted with a decent set of batteries ,bought cheapos and they're crap for want of a better word .

What do you Kx users on here use .

I think everybody here will say eneloop.

Was leaning towards them , which power rating ...ie 2100,2700 etc

7 day shop's 2900 mah AA's all I ever use, great batteries...

I use Vapextech link from ebay.

They do the enloop "instant" type as well as the normal.

They (the brand) perform quite well and are good value for money.

Don't forget you need a decent charger to put a decent charge in your battery.

I would go for the 2700.
The 2100 will hold their charge longer and can be recharged more times but when you factor in the higher charge of the 2700 the difference isn't that large any more.

GP Recyko, I find have a better charge holding time than Eneloop, but both very good.

The GP Recyko, can be purchased from, “Premier Ink & Photographic”, a very good reliable supplier.


Take care.

Asda own make are quite good for the price

I'm sure Eneloops are fine - but Uniross Hybrios work very well for me. They were better on test here too .. link

That 2009 test as out of date Andrew. He re-tested them 10 months ago

I'm surprised that he hasn't achieved the manufacturers spec. on any of them? He is charging them too fast, the batteries will be getting very hot and his charger might not be calibrated correctly. I've always found 2000 Eneleoops good for 2050 - 2100.

The 7th post down uses a better charge rate 500 mAh and gets up to 107% of claimed. He's using the same charger that I do BL-700.

Note: 7Day shop recommended by others on here only achieve about 83% of claimed.

EDIT: I did mention in another thread that Ansmann were
the worst I've ever used and this test hasn't rated
them either.

Unfortunately capacity doesn't indicate how well they will
work in say a K-x

This test seems to indicate Eneloops ar the best for flashguns link

Powerex do well but they are £15/4 in the UK
