Originally posted by pcfranchina I am currently using Power2000 2900mAh HiMH and the charger that came with them and I am really not sure if its a good setup.
1. I don't think there any genuine 2900mAh AAs available. Also the high-capacity ones (2700mAh) have a high self-discharge rate.
2. Unless it's a smart charger, the charger if very quick may have stuffed up the batteries through overcharging. How long does it take to charge a set?
I use Sony Eneloops & a La Crosse BC-900 and charge at the 700mA rate (0.3C) so it takes about 4 hrs. I could charge faster, but I want the batteries to last.
