I've had very good experience with Maha Powerex AA batteries from <http://thomasdistributing.com/

The ones I'm using are Powerex 2700 mah, and usually last thru' about  
200 pictures on my Minolta Dimage 7 camera. Sitting on the shelf/in  
the drawer they need to be recharged after a couple of months.

Maha has new NMh battery line called imedion which has very low self  
discharge and comes charged up. They claim that after a year the a  
fully charged battery will retain 85% charge. The con is that they  
only have 800 mah AA batteries at this time.

My charger that I use now is a Maha MH-C401FS which has 4 independant  
charging circuits and does AA and AAA batteries from 1 to 4 at a time,  
sizes can be mixed.

Fair winds and happy bytes, Dave Flory, Flower Mound, TX, U.S.A.
