Darryl Linkow, C.A.S. Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I was just wondering what kind of AA NiMh batteries people are using? What is the highest maH rating you are seeing? What brands do you like? Who are you buying them from....local dealer? Website? Prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bperlman Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi Scott, Which charger did you get from their site? There are a few choices. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curleysound Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Also, if you suspect that there are AA's out there with more capacity, you can do a google search for "mah AA" with the quotes, then look for the result with the highest number. That's how I found the same batteries Scott posted. They are good, but I imagine someone will come out with a higher one some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brands do you like? Who are you buying them from....local dealer? Website? Prices? I've been using the Maha "IMEDION" type for this show and they've been working out pretty good. They have a lower capacity (2100 mAh) but they are supposedly much more impervious to self-discharge when sitting around or when partially used in a device -- a problem I've had with other types of rechargeable batteries in the field. As I say, so far, so good. I use the SM transmitters pretty sporadically and they get about 2-3 hours in those. We mainly use them to run both slates, in which they last about three days.

Darren Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've been using the Maha 27OO's since they have been available. But I have to say, I seem to be getting a MUCH better charge out of them using the new Powerex MH-C9000 than I did with my Maha 801D.

wbrisett Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I use the Tenergy 2600 mAh, which seem to give me about 2 hours in the TRX900 and 3 hours in the RX900. For the slate as one would expect, they last multiple days. I bought them more because I could get them in bulk and the folks at allbatteries.com are always running sales on them.

Perhaps answering my own question, I found an interesting website that I thought I would share with everyone: http://www.rechargeable-battery-review.com/consumer-batteries/aa-battery-tests/aa-nimh-battery-performance.html Judging by the facts in that website, it appears that the Maha Powerex 2700 maH is the best of the bunch. I guess I'll invest in some of those, along with the Maha MH-C9000 charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan H. Chang Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've also bought 24 Duracell 2650mAh AA batteries from Thosmas Distributing about a year ago and they perform very well in my mixers, wireless, even my carry flashlights. Others like Eneloop and Powermax are also good batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I have the Maha charger, as previously posted in another thread. Expect to geek out BIG TIME when setting it to "analyze" mode and watching it check your old AA batteries. I was shooting nights when my charger arrived from Thomas Distributing, my source for all things battery, and I spent hours watching the charger work.

Jeff Wexler Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Perhaps answering my own question, I found an interesting website that I thought I would share with everyone Hey, Darryl, what's with all the BOLD face and color in your posts. You will be noticed, and read, anyway because everyone reads everything here; no need to stand out. If you like it that way, that's okay too, just wondering. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 No, it doesn't offend me at all ... I guess it did achieve something: I noticed, didn't I. No worries ... do whatever makes you happy. - JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
