As a follow up, first when I responded I was the first to do so. I agree
good Alkalines should give many shots, I got well over a hundred in my
A95, then took them out before they were exhausted.
I took a another look at the sites I recommended and see everyone and
their brother is now marketing low discharge NiMH. I don't know if they
are all as good as Eneloop, I believe Sanyo is licensing this technology
to others.
