Rechargeable Batteries

[danielchansm]

Hello all,

What brand batteries do you guys recommend. I am using 580 ex ii. Currently got a lot and dunno where to buy and how much are the pricing roughly. Some batteries are either ciplak (fake) or don't last long for flash.

are Sony's a good bet?

I've got 2 sets of batteries used for my 430EX. 1 set is Canon ori batts and another (supposed to be) USA brand.

From my own experience, I find that those Alkaline batteries works better. Especially those designed for digital camera use etc etc.. Lasts longer and charges the flash faster.

Wat about Sanyo eneelops ?

Hey Daniel, just a note to remind you to search before asking as many things have been discussed before.

There's a pretty long thread about batteries and what we are all using here:

Maha Powerex 2700mAh is about the best.
