Best rechargeable batteries for your electribe?

Hi,

I've been researching a bit about rechargeable batteries lately, trying to find the best match for my new es2. So far I've read much praise regarding the panasonic eneloop pro batteries, seems they are among the top dogs. Was just wondering what peoples' experience on the subjects are? Any suggestions for good rechargeable batteries that last long with the es's?

Cheers

I was going to make the same inquiry. Please those of you who have had great success with rechargeable batteries and the ES2, tell us what you prefer. Thanks!

It's still the Eneloop batteries and the Powerex charger for me.

I use amazon 2500mah black re-charges. Work really good after a few discharges/re-charges. I get about 4-6 hours out of them!

Any good recommendations for Li-on or Li-po 1.5v AA batteries?

Thanks for your input, guys! Went for the eneloop pro 2500 mAh batteries.

The lcd screen started flickering with these (yes, I set the battery mode to lithium in the global settings), but this went away after setting power saving to DISABLED. So far so good!

eneloops are ni-mh and typically less voltage than alkali and lithium. Anyway, I don't see an option for lithium but I'm on an older OS. Is this a new firmware addition?

oops, sorry, meant to type ni-mh :p indeed ther is no setting for "lithium", apologies.
