rechargeable batteries

[imma honky]

I am constantly losing/running out of AA batteries. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy some good rechargeables in bulk (like a pack of 20 or so)? Also, which kind are the best. NiMH or the other(can't remember the name).
TIA.

Look for Panasonic NiMH cells, they will give you the most bang for the buck. I have a Panasonic cordless drill with 3 amp/hour batteries and the charge lasts and lasts. You'll most likly get about 3-4 years old of regular use from these batteries. NiMH and superior to NiCd, but cost more. LiON (Lithium Ion) are the next step up from NiMH, but are more suited for solid state use versus something with a motor. I hope this helps.

Looking for AA's for stuff like cd players, cameras, flashlights (I have a dozen small mags) and a GPS unit...Nothing that runs a motor.

As afr as I know, Costco has had the best deal on Panasonic NiMH AA's. I use Panasonic's, Rayovacs and Energizers in my Digital camera. They all work well, I like the Rayovac's because they have a quick 1hr charger that is AC and 12v DC.
