some rechargeables are only 1.2 volts per cell. eg 4 of them =4.8volts not 6V
take this into account before you spend money on them
So how many Volts should a normal one be. For a garmin gps

Jaycar have the next model up Eneloops. got a couple of packs recently. can't get to them right now to check the aMh but they are black coloured
downside is they appear to lose charge faster if sitting around for long periods and less life - but people like me will lose them before they run out of puff
by less life I mean less number of times you can recharge them
Eneloops are great. They have at least the same storage as an Alkaline battery.
Anyone tried lithium ones
The pro enerloops look good. LiPo rechargeable AAs are not really AAs as they are 3.6v. Never tried the non rechargeable lithium but they are uber expensive.
Haven't managed to find any rechargable lithium aa yet. And as said the non rechargables are expensive but worth itQuote:

Got eneloops from Noel leeming last week.. 40pc off.... Seem to be good battery... I got the pro version...
Cool thanks guys ill have a look today.
standard dry cell battery is 1.5V, alkalines 1.6V, nicad is 1.2V. although the enelop batteries are great you will be risking early shutdown of the gps due to low voltage even though the batteries are fully charged if the gps is made to run off standard batteries.Quote:

OK so what should I buy for my GPS and head light.Quote:

A Garmin GPS such as 62/64 has a setting in the menu for it if you are using alkaline or rechargeable batteries. Make sure you set this right, it will not shut down the gps prematurely, only if you set it wrong, this catches a lot of people out. The Black eneloop NiMH lasts a lot longer than any alkaline in my gps and still operates perfectly well below zero temps. For best value and function, just get the black eneloop ones. Other rechargeable types don't do to well in the cold. The last thing I wanted to do was lug around a pile of spare batteries for the gps, so I went thru testing many brands in the field.
Yes. The Garmin GPS's have been designed to run on rechargeable cells.Quote:

Anyone got ideas for really good charger? The eneloop one I just got doesn't have an indicator when fully charged it just turns off after 13hours... Or is that not an issue.. I thought your not supposed to overcharge...

I just use lithium disposables, pretty spendy but they last for ages in my 60csx, use them in my SPOT also, have had bad experiences with rechargeable AAs that seem to lose charge all of a sudden.
came across LCD rechargables, limited self discharge, pack says they will discharge to 80 percent over time but thats it. havent tested them over time but they workQuote:
