Rechargeable Batteries - what one's to get?

My daughter has a new digital camera whilst our other daughter has a wii.

I'm spending a fortune buying batteries (AA), I've surfed ebay and don't know if to trust (or believe) the 2500mAh that are on sale - mostly from Hong Kong. I need a charger too.

Your recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Highly recommend the 7dayshop own brand batteries.

Personally I use these Duracell ones from Argos (other stores might well be cheaper) for my Xbox 360, Wii, Digital Camera

I also use this Energizer 1 Hour charger

The UNIROSS HYBRIO batteries are the best ones to get. I think you are also better off with a slower charger.

Yes, its advisable to trickle charge. Fast charging shortens the battery life. If you are using batteries up at a fast rate then it may help to have a spare set of rechargebles so you always have replacements ready.

we brought this and highly recommend it, but when we brought it, it was only £9.50, last month, the best thing about it, is the cases, very handy for keeping them safe when not in use!

They're definitely the way to go.

You should find a decent set of 2500mAh rechargeable should last much better in things like digital cameras than a set of Duracells could ever hope to.

Will that still charge if only two batteries are in it?

Yes, you can also put in 2 aa and 2 aaa in the same case and it charges them both!

It takes about 3 hours to charge the batteries
