[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]This is a great site that has a lot of info on NiHM rechargable batteries.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3] Remember that all rechargables are not the same the higher the MaH number the higher the capacity which equates to more pictures. I checked the Walmart and Sam's stuff but none of them had the highest capacity batteries which are now 2400 MaH. I ended up buying mine online. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Also you want a "smart" charger that can tell whether to trickle charge when the batteries are fully charge. My charger has a "condition" cycle that keeps the batteries at their maximum memory capacity. They suggest conditioning your batteries every ten charges. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]There is a fine line between fast charges and putting too much juice to your batteries. You can actually cook your batteries if they are charged too fast. This causes them to expire prematurely. [/size][/font]
