Which rechargeable batteries would you recommend for the A570 IS??

I just purchased the A570 IS and have received conflicting info on the best rechargeable batteries to buy. I have heard that the Rayovac Hybrids last longer than standard rechargeables. Also, any difference between rapid vs overnight chargers? Thanks!

Dale,

The rapid chargers do work just as good as the overnights, but faster. As for the actual batteries you choose: if you want a longer life battery, go with the highest amperage. I'm not sure what the rating is on the Rayovacs that you're looking at, but the higher, the longer they last. Good luck and happy shooting.

Andrew

batteries with a higher mAh - like around 2500mAh would satisfy the higher power requirements of your camera.

Many NiMh batteries have a high internal resistance for use in the A720.
The same applies to the alkaline battery, including those of Duracell.
The Electo 2300 mAh NiMh batteries that I had used, have an internal resistance of 500 mOhm!
The NiCad's Sanyo 700 mAh give no problems.
NiCad's have a much lower internal resistance than NiMh batteries.

The internal resistance can be determined by measuring the battery voltage with load and without load.
For the load I used a resistance of 1 ohm.
Discharge current is then about 1 A.

Example.
Without load 1.3 V voltage measured.
With load of 1 Ohm a voltage of 1.2 V measured.
The internal resistance is approximately the voltage difference measured in ohms.
The internal resistance = 1.3 - 1.2 = 0.1 ohms.

As far as I can see Sanyo NiMh batteries and in particular the Eneloop AA 2000 mAh, are a good choice.
