Night Vision Scope Batteries

What sort of live you get out of your rechargeable batteries

 

I'm using Ansmann with the Ansmann charger but in less than a year they only last about 10 mins after a full charge in my pulsar scopes

10 minutes you say? I use Duracells (2400mAh) and I don't get a problem with them in any of my gear. I always take spares of course for the longer trips.

If your looking at AA batterys , I use the ones from maplins at 2700 mAh , they last about 4 1/2 hours in my pulsar

And the same as tremo , take a spare set just in case !

Just bought a Duracell charger and batteries

 

Out of 16 Ansmann 15 just flash red in the Duracell charger

 

They used to last about 2/3 hours then I use the power pack

I highly recommend Panasonic Eneloops LSD batteries and either a Technoline BL700 charger, i bought mine from Battery Logic or a Nitecore digicharger D4, from Torch Direct, both are really good places to buy from.

I always take a spare set of 4 AA batteries out in the field.

Working time depends on what they are used in + how long.

Up to 500 or 2100 recharges, so good value.

I forgot to add, i prefer the LSD ( Low Self Discharge ) batteries, as they retain power for longer, % power after a year once charged + unused - whereas a normal rechargeable battery will loose all its power a lot sooner.

I use these https://www.7dayshop.com/products/7dayshop-aa-ni-mh-high-performance-rechargeable-batteries-2900-8-pack-2x4-WH2-DS-102 you do get the odd duff battery, I think certain battery chargers, especially the faster chargers kill batteries quicker, the duralocks are meant to be pretty good too.
