A week ago I picked up these batteries from Costco (I stole this pic from the web). They are Sanyo Eneloop Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargable batteries. The package was $39 Canadian for 4 AA, 4 AAA a home charger and car adapter. I also picked up extra batteries (another set of AAs and C and D adapters). We'll be going through a ton of batteries in the near future as we picked up a Nintento Wii and I need some for my camera equipment as well.The Eneloop are supposed to keep their charge even when stored for long periods of time. Sanyo claim the batteries will lose 15% of their charge in a year, compared to 1% per day for other similar batteries. I'll be testing that as I have a set in my camera flash which I seldom use. It seemed to be a good deal and we may get more for our AV remotes around the house.
