I found a couple of these "1150mah" cells down at circuit city
Any experiences on these cells? good or bad?

I find the L92 more expensive than these to use in my L0D-CE, but before I go and buy them I need some opinions

:thanks:

If these are lithium AA/AAA's I would really leave them alone. I've heard nothing but bad experience from any brand apart from Energizer. Yes, the bunny cells fetch a premium but that is for a reason here.

By bad experience I mean explosions, venting with flame, etc ... personally I'd stick with energizer until these problems are ironed out, which might not be for a while because I heard energizer have a patent on something that makes their AA/AAA liths safe.

You might be able to get a great deal from batterystation on those energizers.

Just my £0.02.

well, the thing is, these aren't lithiums, they're alkaline
but Thanks for the replies:thumbsup:

At low rates, alkaline AAA cells should be around 1450mAh. The Monster brand alkaline cells are most likely made outside the US and as "private label" cells, are not quite as good as Duracell, Energizer, or Rayovac, as far as capacity is concerned.
