I have standardized on NiMH for all my stuff that needs a fair slug of juice to
run -- digital cameras, handheld radios, and the like. For clocks and such that
suck microamps, I have standardized on alkaline Renewals (*). If it was mine,
I'd use NiMH. I have found the best source to be Thomas Distributing for
quality AND price.

(*)... and I change the clock batteries throughout the house and hangar at the
semiannual DT/ST time change, keeping a spare set charged up a couple of days
before.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:


- I need to buy a set of rechargables for my new AvMap EKP-IV. It takes
-size AAs. I'll basically be running the unit off of aircraft power, and
-the batteries are just for emergencies. So, every time I fly they'll be
-being recharged, and very rarely used. Do you recommend Nicads or NiHH?
