Do any of you use NiMH batteries?

If so what has been you experience with them? How did you use them, flash or camera?
 
This forum has been too dead of late to want anyone to pay for a banner here but these Sanyo's sure outlast the alkalines in both my camera and detector.
I think they're listed at 1620ma which is much better than the 700ma that are used in my detector battery pack but fit nicely in the alkaline spare pack it came with. The Olympic C2500L also uses them with great results. I used to shop at ubid to get the AVL 128 meg compact flashes but with the deal Rick just mentioned on the 256 meg compact flash I don't think you could go wrong with that. Incidentenally.. The compact flash and their readers, usually USB act as fantastic portable hard drives to move files around between computers. Usually the PCMCIA readers for this type of card go between the notebooks and a lot of the USB readers seamlessly just quickly being identified as another hard drive allowing you to move pictures or files quickly using Windows Explorer or your favorite filing program.
My take... Guvner..
 
I have used Kodak NiMH batteries in my flash attachment's (Nikon SB-28's) and I get no life out of them at all. Maybe a roll of 36exp film.
I think the voltages on NiMH batteries are lower than Ni-Cads....
 
Rick... I've never heard that. In fact the only real difference I've been told between NiCAD and NiMH is the material used in the NiMH is environmentally more friendly. Supposedly in the last several years the NiCAD cells are every bit as good memory wise as the NiMH's due to the manufacturing process making them tighter and tighter. I think due to this tightness they have a tendency to discharge more between the layers. Using the 2.5 megapixel setting on the C2500L I get many more pictures with the Sanyo batteries above than with the Olympus rechargeables that came with it. If we had a standard drawing appliance we could test them against each other. Any one of us can do it with their own appliances but unless we have the same thing it won't relate. <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

The high capacity NiMH batteries require special chargers. Not all chargers can charge them to full capacity.
