Any high-capacity Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery will work well. I use various brands, I've got a set (4 batteries) of 2200mAh and 2 sets (8 batteries) of 2600mAh NiMH batteries.

The benefit of these, unlike alkaline, is that they work until they don't. I mean, alkalines get worse slowly, so your recycle time slowly increases as the batteries get flat. The NiMH ones keep recycling fast, and then suddenly they die. This can be dangerous as you have no feel for how mnay shots you can still take. That's why I have 3 complete sets, so I never have to worry.
