So they are about the same cost/watt hour as NiMH batteries with a $200 charger?

NiMH batteries are reuseable - for this one $6 shot = about a dozen AA alkalines over 4 charges e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Instant-Charger-Mobile-Phones/dp/B0093GIME8

No this is not as it comes with a NiMH battery. I suggest you pick up a LiPo battery and charger kit. You will have much longer run times and increased performance http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YXCIH0/

They last quite a long time, actually. I use NiMH rechargeables, and it's usually several months between recharges.

NO. The NiMH & NiCD batteries charge differently then the Li-Ion batteries.

Duracell isn't worth the difference in cost so I would not consider them at all. Ni-Cad rechargeables are TRULY the best value but requires some responsibility to keep them charged.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

We have the premium Nitecore NL188 3100mAh for $21.90 and the Nitecore Intellicharger i2 for $17 and the Nitecore Intellicharger i4 for $21.90. Shop this combo at Andrew-Amanda store. Thank you, andrew

yes, and the VersaPak Gold batteries (NiMH) will last longer than the Silver (NiCd). I'm not even sure if the latter are still available.

I've had great success in replacing batteries around my house by going to Batteries Plus. They can build any type and size of battery you want, for a fraction of retail cost - NiMH, NiCad, Lithium, whatever. Example: DeWalt cordless drill - retail for replacement battery: $70. They rebuilt my pack at Batteries Plus for $20, and it works just as good, recharges and reconditions in the original charging stand, everything.Look up "batteries" in the phone book - there's other companies that do the same thing if this name doesn't sound familiar to ya.

Good question. I had too look too. I think I'm getting KODAK Ni-MH 1-Hour Battery Charger instead. From Rayovac's site Perfect for high battery usage households. * Charges all battery sizes: AA, AAA, D, C, and 9V * Charges: Rechargeable alkaline, NiMH, and NiCd o 8 AA in 14 hrs o 8AAA in 4 hrs o 4 C/D in 7 hrs o 1 9V in 12 hrs * Automatic shutoff * LED lights indicate when batteries are ready * Trickle charge keeps batteries at full charge * Won't overcharge

One is based on NiMH and the other is Lithium-ion. I've used the NiMH and I'm not at all happy with the welding/mechanical connection on the negative side of the battery. Both are Low Self Discharge (LSD) which is good. I'd go for it and get the LiON 9v @600mAh -- In theory it should last 3x longer. These NiMH 9v are "claimed to be LSD" but I get poor shelf life, nothing like the Sanyo 'White Label AA" which are fantastic NiHM LSD batteries. I've had superior results with Lithium-ion, but you pay the price. You will have to run your own tests and real world applications. I'd buy the set with the 4 batteries and the recharger (as they are only asking a bit over $2 for the charger -- some batteries can be touchy with what charger is charging them. Would enjoy seeing your feedback on your experience.

Considerable difference. You can get two 18650 batteries with charger & free delivery for $10 - do it.

The Google preview of this item shows "AmazonBasics AA High-Capacity Rechargeable Batteries (8-Pack) ... Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries provide the extra power you need . .... of about 2500 mAh, but two of the batteries are only 54-70% of the rating." but you are correct. When I click the link, that spec is nowhere to be found. I use these for wireless microphones at my church. They work great. The nubs are slightly short so I do have to seat them in really good but they are excellent.

They are - The NB-2L batteries are rate at 530mAH and the NB-2LH are rated at 750mAH; so the "standard" capacity bty is going to provide less shooting time. The voltages are the same for both, however. I can't give you a direct "this is how long this will last" comparison, but in a high current-draw device (like a digital recorder) the 2L will probably last 1/2 to 2/3 as long as the 2LH.I can tell you that in my wife's Rebel XT these batteries have functioned very well.

The new 4.0AH batteries give you a true 45 minute run time of non stop usage. We tested these units out before we brought them in from our vendor to sell. Oregon has done a terrific job on this new battery. Replacement batteries of the 4.0AH will cost $199.00. Hope that helps.

Doesn't matter. They can be charged at any rate. The slower charging is better for the battery's health long-term, but a 1.00A won't hurt them.
