Good job Chris! I must have read that article a week or two ago and it
was updated two days ago. I have been negotiating a deal with a guy on
Ebay for 12 of the PowerEx batteries. We haven't reached any kind of
deal as of today. He normally lists auctions with 8 batteries and the
MaHa charger as one auction. I was trying to get him to sell me 12 and
the charger or create an auction so that I could do a "Buy it Now." But
now, I think I'll price the Sanyo batteries.

thanks

I saw that article too. I noticed that the Eveready 1800Mah cells came
in
around third place, and they have the added advantage of being readily
available in department stores and such. That is why I pointed them
out.
Just found the page. Seems he has been doing some more testing and the
Sanyo and Energizer 1850s came out on top. Of course the testing is
ongoing
so this may change.

Here's the link:

I like this in particular because this guy developed his own test setup
and
does not rely on Manuf. hype at all.

Like you, I was pretty satisfied with the runtime of the included
batteries,
but I wanted to see how these "off the shelf" models worked out. I'm
using
the green ones in my little NomadIIc player, so there is no loss there.
:)
