Anybody out there using AAA Eneloops in their triggers, specifically the Yongnuo RF-603?

Thanks

I use Eneloops, or their Amazon branded equivalent, for just about everything. They work fine in my Cactus v5 triggers.

They are a slightly lower voltage so some triggers have issues. Most manufactures don't recommend using rechargeable. You may run into some reliability issues.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I'm prone to forgetfulness when it comes to turning my triggers off and it's getting expensive buying batteries. I think I'll bight the bullet and give these a go.

Eneloops - stop there. Nothing else to consider.

I've been using Eneloops for years in my speedlights, I know there have been issues with other devices with regard to true voltage output when under load.

I use eneloops for speedlights and tenergy for triggers, haven't had a single issue yet and they're 1/3 of the price of the Sanyos.

Eneloop is a Sanyo brand name.
