  • What rechargeable batteries have you guys found work well (as in battery life) in the Hope vision 1?

    Was going to give these a go;

    Eneloop and the 7dayshop batteries have technology with means they hardly discharge over time, and will keep 70% or more of their charge after 5 years or so. This is much higher than conventional rechargeables, which lose their total capacity on each charge and discharge relatively quickly when not in use.

    The 7dayshop own brand ones, offer more mAh (charge capacity) for the price, but the eneloops are suggested to be a little more reliable.

    You should also get a delta-v type charger which only charges batteries as long as required, and not just either on or for a set period as normal chargers do. This might even make more of a difference than the type of battery you use, as it enables the battery to realise it's full charge (by discharging and charging correctly)
