I just got a set of these

I was using them all day today in my 580EX. Shot @300 images and they were still going strong at the end of the day with no obvious drop off in recharge time. Most impressed.

I use the Rayovac Rechargeable's with the PS3 charger. I get about 400+ pictures out of the Canon A95 using the LCD at all times.

The charger to the left is the new PS3, middle is old PS3 and right are new batteries.

I bought some NIMH energizers at Walmart for my 580ex flash and they are great. 4 second recycle for over 50 flashes and what is really great is that recharge time is 15 minutes!!!! I carry quantum battery packs but I may go to these batteries and not lug those packs around. I just take about 5 sets of them to a wedding.
