Sanyo- Eneloop, Duracell, or Energizer? Right now I am thinking of getting Eneloops. But I have very little knowledge about batteries so can someone please help me out? Thanks.

Honestly, if you are going the rechargeble route, I've not really seen a big difference. Except to go with Li-Ion if you can IF you are using them in something power hungry - like a camera or such.

If it's for an MP3 player or such, Ni-Cads may be a cheaper alternative.

I think theres only Alkaline and NiMH for AA/AAA tho.

I decided to get the Eneloops because they have a lower self discharge which means it will have longer charge cycles.

Be sure to get the highest mah (milli amp hours) that you can find.
My Energizer 2500 mAh last a long time in most of my digital stuff. I'm pretty sure there are higher ratings

Is there certain devices that can't use NiMH batteries?
