How many photographers both professional and amateur (non-photogs to!) still buy disposable AA batteries? Not only are they a complete waste of money, but you have to throw them out after one or two uses. And we all know this is not exactly good for the environment OR your wallet!
So after a guest at a wedding this past weekend asked me about how my flash recycled so quickly and in such a dark room, I decided to give a quick plug about PowerEx batteries from the Maha Energy Corporation. I have been using them since 2004 and they just rock. One set of 4 AA batteries in my Canon 580EXII flash can easily last a wedding reception on top of my camera without having to change. And the recycle time is fast, super fast! These are ultra high capacity batteries and have no memory so you can charge them anytime.
I own 8 sets of 2700 mAh rechargeable batteries, and this easily gets me thru a weekend with two weddings. I also have the 8 cell 1 hour charger. Charger is about $85 and a 4 pack of batteries is $16. But spend a few hundred dollars now and have these batteries for the next 2 or 3 years. I also use my older batteries from 2004 in household gadgets like TV remotes or cordless Mice.
