Battery Woes by Alan Rodmell

Posted on February 07, 2008

I haven’t been taking many photos of late as I am having trouble with my crap rechargeable batteries for my camera.

I use Energiser 2100mA AA batteries with a standard charger. I use two sets of four for my Pentax K100d. Lately they have been lasting barely half an hour at most even after a full charge. As it takes 8hrs + to charge a set with my current charger I am often without batteries for the camera.

Its annoying me intensely and I’m looking at buying a good 15min – 1 hr charger and batteries. Only thing is I don’t know what to go for. Hence this post.

What do you guys use?

Obviously a charger that refreshes the batteries prior to a charge is massively useful. I’m not to bothered about the price if the batteries and charger offer great performance.

Let me know guys – links to product pages are welcome

    Alan i used to use uniross sprint charger for my fuji. I found that worked well but when i stopped using the camera regularly they didn’t perform as well. I would still use it now if i had to, but also check the size of the miiliamps per hour of each battery. The bigger the better.I prefered the faster charger to the slower ones, i hope this helps you.
