I know everyone loves Eneloops, but maybe, just maybe, occasionally, an alternative will do…?
4 x 2000mAh for $4.98 (was $21.98)
On line only, so have to add delivery ($4.95), but still not a bad deal if you want a few?

How did I know that was coming… :-(
But good to know same price in store too!
If these are anything like the Energizer ones I had before my Eneloops they are useless.
I would charge them and days later they were flat. I could not use my camera anytime as I had to preplan and charge them first.
Good price though :)
depends on how you use the batteries, occasional usage like your case, eneloops are the way to go, but for those who charge just before usage and who need more capacity(LSD batteries generally have lower capacity than normal NIMH) these are ok
Been using these for years in cameras & torches. Held charge well for weeks in compact camera.
Better for higher discharge applications like torches.
Eneloops are best for low discharge where you don't want to be recharging all the time, like remotes & wireless door chimes (picked up some SWANN chimes a week back at DS for $5.61).Now have a stack unused as bought 2 packs of 8 glitter Eneloops from DS for $20 each last week :-)
Been at this price since posted on Friday.Agree with the others. I use Energizer NiMH rechargeables in the camera and high power kids toys. They carry a fair bit of charge but it dissipates quite quickly. You can't leave them in your torch or camera and expect it to fire up 4 months later. Great for frequent high discharge use. I also found in one camera that the software was a faulty. It would sometimes signal flat batteries even when the batteries were fresh. Take them out and put back in and they would be fine. I would love to have said it was a Windows camera.
For low power devices I use alkaline batteries and the EnvironPower alkaline battery recharger. You don't get 100% recharge, I reckon around 80% and I'm getting around 20+ recharges from a decent quality battery before they die. Even the Vartas come up OK.
Combine it with a battery deal and it's not a bad option.
http://www.scoopon.com.au/deals/46430/duracell-alkaline-batt…It's great for the remotes, game controllers etc. The charger cost around $20 bucks 2-3 years ago from eBay. Proper rechargeables seemed to cost a lost more then. I'm sure there are others around.
I'm not associated with scoupon or EnvironPower (or DSE)
Can hardly condemn a battery based on the performance of a different brand.

Thanks robs12
I just picked up 2 packs….. (Didn't even know I needed any) !
Got a pack and tested it in my La Crosse BC700. All 4 cells displayed a capacity over 2070 mAh. Not sure how well they hold charge, though.
Got two packs yesterday in store from Earlville, Cairns. They had plenty in stock I think. (Tried to get some online delivered, but didn't let me proceed, even after trying to get them to do it over the phone).
Saw them for the same price in store yesterday, heaps of stock (Pakenham).
also….
