What type of batteries do you use for your SB-800 or SB-600? I am currently using a Duracell Ultra. I tried using the Energizer Rechareable 2500mAh, but I had to chunk those quick becuase they ran out of juice really fast. I even let them charge over the recommended amount which is 8 hours! Do you use rechareable batteries? If so, which do you recommend? |

I use Energizer rechargables. I have several sets and don't seem to have longevity issues.... --------------------------- Website: http://www.quinncophoto.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/petequinn |

I also use the Energizers rechargable, but I also use that 5th battery pack that came with the SB800... that helps a lot in longevity and recycle-time. |

5th battery and Energizer 2500 here also. I had one bad set of them but once I replaced them, I haven't had any problems since. quick recycle times and I can use one set in each flash and get through the entire wedding/event... --------------------------- Nathan Simmons Houston Wedding Photographer /My Wedding Blog/Portrait Photography Site practice with intent to improve, makes perfect...by all means, feel free to edit images for the sake of improvement and photographer will not be offended |

Let's make it unanimous. 2500mAh NiMH Energizers. I have two sets of 5. Keep em topped off at least once a week even if I don't use them. But I'm an AR pheek  --------------------------- Scott Watters PoloDigital | Flickr | Pbase Nikon | Hasselblad | Phase One | Hensel | Apple |
