Battery recommendations for 430EZ

[akbmcf1]

Hey peeps!

Just thought I would tap up the communal knowledge for some advice on the best type of AA battery to buy for a 430EZ flash? Should I go down the rechargable route, if so, are we talking Ni-MH at the highest maH I can get?

Will be using in conjunction with eBay Cactus triggers, just so you know the set up!

Also, if you know where to buy (UK please!) and perhaps have a link to what you would recommend, then that would be even better!

Thanks! :)

Most people here have good luck with the NiMh's. I use "pre-charged" AA's that are available locally. The "pre-charged" versions keep a charge much longer than the standard ones. They don't have as much capacity though. I'm not taking enough pictures to drain a set down completely in one session and I don't do enough sessions per week to keep the regular NiMh's topped off. Eneloop seems to be a popular brand, though I'm using Kodak brand that I get at Wally Mart.

Hopefully, that will get you started.
