Rechargeable batteries for flashguns

Batteries for flash guns - Panasonic Eneloop Pro or alternative brands?

What are your opinions on or what do you you for your flash guns (mines a twin flash) to get good life out them?

I would not worry unnecessarily about which brands...I have found dead cells in every brand that have been in use for a number of years.
Some brands have apparently fuller capacity, and reports exist which depict those with measured capacity (not merely stated capacity).

Mainly use Eneloop/Eneloop Pro but have some Panasonic too. I haven't done tests to determine which are best but no complaints with either brand.

I've ordered 4 eneloop pro for delivery tomorrow.

Cheers guys.

It just so happens that the most comprehensive and enduring test of rechargeable AA batteries was done by a forum member here;

part two;

Eneloop Pros are some of the best choices. Powerex non Eneloops also fantastic options.

I just pulled out some Pocket Wizards for the first time in years, and thus for the first time in years I needed AA in a camera accessory. I reached for the Powerex AA. older unit than the ones in SYS' second test, which had been sitting in a case for at least three years, and they still had 75% charge. Topped them off and shot all day with them.

that said, based on part two of that test I also have a number of sets of the Fujitsu branded eneloops which came up on sale at one point, and they are fantastic.

The ikea Ladda AAs have been my favourite.
