While I personally think the world would be a better place if everyone
standardized on 1.2 volt AA batteries (preferably NiMH at the moment) it's
a loosing battle.

I'll never ever waste my money on NiMH batteries again. They're the
crappiest excuse for batteries I've ever encountered. After about six
months of use, and charge/use cycles, their useful life (per charge)
deteriorates to a matter of seconds.

Anyone who spends money on NiMHs, even with a "smart" charger, is an
idiot.

And you misspelled "losing."

Hope This Helps!
