You MUST (!) use the correct charger for them. Do NOT use a NiCad charger. Ebay has some good deals on quantity buys. I got 16 2250mAh "AA"s and an 8 slot charger for around $40. __________________ Sometimes I feel like if I answer any more questions it is like someone trying to climb over a fence to jump off a bridge and me giving them a boost.

You will pay a premium price for them though. Funny how this is a topic of rechargable batteries, and an advert for them magically appears at the top. __________________ Sometimes I feel like if I answer any more questions it is like someone trying to climb over a fence to jump off a bridge and me giving them a boost.
