YOu know, I just thought of it this morning, does anyone here have experience with rechargeable batteries?

No one listed it.

Last time I have them was 1992, and I accidentally fried them in a socket in Italy. THey were Panasonic rechargeables.

Does anyone here know if they are indeed just as good as the Energizer and other alkaline batteries? I've never researched this.

(And we are at a point in our lives where we will be going through lots of batteries: kids toys)

Use them all the time in my 30D

Actually, I do use rechargeables in a number of applications, mostly TV remotes, flashlights, mp3 player. I haven't had any real problems with them, but then I don't put real heavy use on them. I have a set of 4 AAs that I use in my Canon Speedlite, and they work very well.

Well I'll touch on the one area no one has yet.
I've made it known to family, when my time is up, no casket, small ceremony then cremation. Spread the ashes in the garden to promote good fertilizer. (Wife always says I'm full of $h*t.) LOL!
This way there is no metal box in the ground which will take eons to break down.

I actually use rechargeables at work, where we go through them much faster than at home.

So since this began, wento t Hone Depot, looked for dimmable flourescent bulbs. COuldnt find them but I soubt they will give hte bright natural light that I like.

BUT one this I DID notice in all of those energystar bulbs.....a nice big warning:

CONTAINS MERCURY.

So much for being green :mrgreen:
