enloop batteries in the etrac

[pulltab68]

Does anyone use the rechargeable enloop lithium ion batteries in there etrac? Is it safe to use these? I believe I read in the manual not to use lithium ions.....just want to be sure before I use them. I bought a set at Costco today.

I use them in my backup battery sled when my rechargeable pack runs out on a hunt. The Eneloops work great for me and I have not seen any negative effects from them. I use them all over the house and think they are the best rechargeable battery I have used. Good luck

They're terrific and last about twice the time as the factory rechargeable , if not more..

Thanks for the response sooper dave. I was going to use them as back ups also. At least till I can buy one of the r and b ml 2900 batteries I've read about.

I use the RNB pack above this thread and that last well over 30 hours and 2 hours max charging time.

The best thing about the enloop and other low self discharge NiMH batteries is that they don't lose their charge nearly as quick as traditional NiMH batteries. They don't have as high of current ratings as the other cells, but after a couple of days in the pack the higher current cells will self discharge to a lower capacity anyways. At $2 bucks a pop and hundreds if not thousands of recharge cycles they are an economical way to go.
