Battery Options

[DevinCatron]

I have a k200d and im in the market for some rechargeable batteries. im tired of buying lithium all the time and im looking for some rechargeable lithiums. i would really like to get some and i found some on Ebay but im not quite sure about them and plus i dont know what kind of charger i need for them. i think a regular charger would work but im not sure. and how long would just some good quality rechargeables would last me. thanks for any help

Get Sanyo Eneloops. Period.

how long do they normally last you? and do i need a special charger for them?

I'd go with something like this + 4 extra AA

Amazon.com: Sanyo Eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargable Batteries w/ Charger: Electronics

I actually picked up a pack of 8 AA + recharger + 2 AAA and C and D casings at costco for $20 a while back. They have them occasionally but I didn't see any on the site.

I only use them for my speedlights now since I upgraded to the K20d. They usually gave me about 700 shots or so. The batteries themselves are much better than regular rechargeables because they don't die after 10 recharges like the sony and energizer batteries I have used. They also hold their charge, so if you let your camera sit for a month, they will still be ready to go.
