Which brand is the best rechargeable batteries to use for cameras and GPS like units? Which one gives the best performance?

Also, is it wise to use another brand's charger on the other brand's batteries?
 
Uniross Hybrio - 2100ma. Make sure you get the ones that actually have 2100ma on the battery.

I'll try and find the post but they're trying to pull a fast one by claiming some of their 1900ma batteries are 2100's. The best thing about these is they come pre-charged and they hold their charge when not in use.
 
Uniross is good, its what I use.

I have heard that the Sanyo Eneloop batteries are better tho.

With the good hybrio's getting harder to find it might worth my looking into those. What shops stock them?
 
I also use Uniross Rechargeable batteries with Uniross chargers for my digital camera and other electronic equipment
 
Eneloop is the best. I previously used Uniross but now use Eneloops. Google a bit and you will see theyare the best.

I use both, Hybrios and Sanyo eneloops, they are both OK.

However, the Sanyo eneloops have a really good name - but you can't get them everywhere. However, check www.sybaritic.com, I seem to recall that I saw the eneloops on that site.
 
I found GP better than Uniross. But a set of Hybrios is worthwhile to have because they stay charged.

That's why I keep a couple dozen in my camera bag.

Use . . . charge . . . back in the bag.

woah, I never noticed that they're actually 1900mah. I'm trying to decide between the 2700mah vs the Hybrio 2100.:confused: The 2700's don't hold their charge like the Hybrio's do when not being used but on the other hand they have more capacity to them. Any suggestions?

Large Pick 'n Pays. Look for man size green roundish cardboard containers /w uniross markings. They sort the batteries by type & then either recycle or dispose of them correctly.

Only one I've actually seen is in the PicknPay hypermarket on Atterbury road (PTA).
 
yeah its amazing how many rechargeable batteries ive gone through that just refuse to actually recharge again? i better try all the mentioned above

I find energizer last much longer than Uniross.

I use my UniRoss batts for camera and Energizer for Xbox. For some odd reason the Uniross makes my controllers non-responsive at times. Uniross batts for my flash works well and I get quite good use out of them, but after my experience I prefer the Energizers.
 
What about Maha and Hahnel? I have not seen these around, but heard some good reports about them.

Must say that I have had good performance from GP and Hybrios. How important is it to use the original charger with the batteries, or will chargers do the same job?
 
Uniross for everything I have that's electronic and needs a battery - holds the charge and seems to last longer than other brands.

Those grey, four battery, chargers that come with the uniross batteries are possibly the worst charger you can use.
