Hi all
Like just about everyone now, I have numerous devices that use AA batteries: TV remotes; a camera; computer keyboard and mouse (what a mistake *that* was!)[1]; even a nose-hair clipper...
I've always used rechargeables. Over the years I've acquired various types as the technology has developed -- started out with 1800mAh NiCads, and the latest are 2700mAh NiMh.
I've always believed that the bigger the ma number, the "better" the battery: is this true? I'm half-expecting people to reply "No - for your remotes you want "X" type whilst for the nose-hair trimmer you want a "Y" type".
The prices seem to have gone up steeply since last I bought some -- for example at present Screwfix are selling 4x2700 for £12.71 --
Cheers John
[1] This is an Apple wireless keyboard (3 batteries (3, not 4 nor 2, which would have been so much simpler!) and mouse (2 batteries). They need replacing every few weeks; USB would have been infinitely better.
