Are you aware of the new Eneloop NIMH that Sanyo recently brought out?
They apparently have solved the leakage issue..they dont go dead
sitting in the drawer. Ive been changing over to these from basic
NiMN bats, as Ive charged the old style, and a month later tried to
use the digital camera, only to find em deader then a popcorn fart.

These go a long time without bleeding down.

There is Rayovac Hybrid too. See:

I've been playing around with a set of four AA size now for
several months. They seem to work okay. They had a decent
life span right out of the bubble pack similar to the
average alkaline.

The local store (Meijer) where I bought them dropped all
Rayovac batteries just recently. Don't know what is up with
that, but I think it was because they now offer their own
house brand. I noticed right off that the house brand has no
mention of any kind of warranty on the package. I won't buy
any batteries that won't replace stuff that is
ruined/damaged by them leaking...
