Low self discharge AAA and AA NiMh batteries have been available for about a year now. Does anyone know if and when low self discharge C and D size NiMh batteries will be available? Thank you in advance for all replies.
I doubt if it'll be soon. I bought a set of Sanyo eneloops at Costco and it came with C & D sleeves to "convert" the AA cells to C & D.
Most retail "C" and "D" rechargables are actually a "AA" inside a big shell. For comparison, compare the listed capacity (mAh) and the weight between the sizes. Also note that places which do sell a real NiMh "D" cell charge about 10x the price of a "AA" (and they have 8-10x the capacity).
You can buy empty shells and use your own "AA"s. E.g.:

The D size is 10 amp hour and costs $23.97 for a package of two.
The C size is 4.5 amp hour and costs $16.97 for a package of two.
