Rechargeable Batteries.

I have been trying these in my trail camera and so far they are good. Not as good and Energizer Lithiums, but I don't have throw them out after they die.

Energizer will give me ~7000 10 sec videos, these rechargeables will give ~3500. I have only recharged them once and no issues with that process.

Cheers

I use to have and use the eneloops but got away from them for a while.

I just got a new set of AA and AAA’s.

One of the things I like about them is that like Energizer Lithium batteries (which are also expensive), you can leave them in things you don’t use often and they won’t deteriorate and leak.

Plus I really hate throwing batteries- both regular and lithium- in the trash. I haven’t found another option for recycling them.

If you have a Batteries Plus near you, you can recycle up to 2 lbs of batteries and/or light bulbs for free. Min e locally said that if I had more than 2 lbs, I should split them into different bags. Walk in to get rid of walk-out and walk back in; they will count them as separate visits.

Critical application = Energizer lithium primaries. Important, and everything else = Eneloop rechargeables.

Friends don't let friends use alkaleaks.

Didn’t know that. Thank you.

For AA, you need to buy the ones that store 3V but put out a steady 1.5V until the stop. Enelopes when fully charged start out at 1.2V and go down gradually from there. Standard batteries start at 1.6V and go down gradually.

Modern smart electronics are mostly fine with Eneloops. Some older cell cams will shut down early due to rechargeable lower working voltage. But most new ones let you designate battery type or automatically detect it for you. Virtually all other electronics it's not an issue at all. Eneloops fully charged are about 1.4 volts. Like alkaline, this drops under load.

We started using eneloops many years ago and haven’t looked back. I tried a batch of Amazon basics a few years back, but wasn’t impressed compared to the eneloops. They didn’t hold their charge as long when not in use, died quicker when they were in use, and on a couple of them just quit working.
