hey guys

i've recently acquired 3 new flashes in addition to the 3 i have now.

im currently running those energizer 2500 mAh rechargables, the ones that are silver and green, and they are working great for me. however, i believe one set is starting to get too old.

im looking for a place to get possibly 20 rechargeable AA's and a large charger to fit them all. i've seen them before, but i cant seem to find the store that sells them.

i cant afford to charge 24 batteries with one charger as that would take too much time.

any recommendations?

thanks!

eric

I use an Ansmann Energy 8 with a mixture Ansmann NiMH 2700, Venom Racing 2400 and UNiRoss 2500 batteries which I find to be good.

Here's what I use;

You can also get the Energy 8 Pro;

And an Energy 16;

It also appears you can get these products in the US;

It might be worth investigating...

I've got an older 4 up version which has been great to date. Buddy here just bought that one, and I ran my 12 new ones through it so I wouldn't have so long to wait to get them all charged. I'm monitoring his usage, as he's doing astro photography with a pentax which is just gobbling down the batteries.
