Recharging Alkaline Batteries In Nimh Charger

I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far I am extremely happy. I adopted the camera equipment and duties at my company and the previous guy was using alkaline AA batteries in a Nikon SB-800 flash. After burning through 20 or so alkaline batteries in a weekend, (and messing up a bunch of important shots with the flash not firing) I decided to upgrade to the Pearstone charger with 16 Pearstone NiMH rechargable batteries. Huge difference, the flash fires every time and I can always make sure I have a bunch of full batteries on hand for maximum performance. The charger removes the guess work, so I don't have a bunch of half used batteries that are too drained for a decent flash recycle time. I couldn't recommend the charger or batteries more. The NiMH batteries also seem to last 10 times longer than alkaline ones.

Charger is fast at recharging the batteries. Simple to use.

These are fantastic and inexpensive for holding all your flash batteries, used or new. NiMH or Alkaline. Keeping them from touching each other. Reversing them when used. 9 I bought AA holders Come in a AAA and 9V version too.

Finally a battery tester that will read NIMH batteries, along with Alkaline, Lithium and 9Volt. The pulse load gives a more accurate reading of what battery to use in a portable flash unit. Very easy to use and packs in easily when in the field.

I was going though a lot of batteries until I bought the rechargeable AA NIMH batteries. Now I just keep recharging and saving a lot of money.

Excellent light. I like the feature of either recharging or using alkaline batteries. Great when electric is unavailable for an extended period or far off the grid. Can stop wild animals when shined in their eyes.

Great charger. Fast response to recharging batteries. I

Much better than alkaline batteries!

Watson NiMH batteries are the best and these do not disappoint!

Battery charger for up to 8 AA or AAA NiMH NiCd batteries. It also will tell you if a battery is no good. You can also completely drain a battery on it before a recharge, which extends the life and strength of the battery. The only setback is that this is not a fast charger, so extra batteries are needed if one is doing a lot of flash work with remotes.
