AAA Rechargeable Batteries

[baumgrenze]

Before Covid changed the world, I relied on Thomas Distributing to supply AA and AAA batteries for a reasonable price. Have forum participants found an alternative during the 2+ years since Thomas closed?

I need to order some new batteries. I found the offerings on both eBay and Amazon so confusing that I gave up ordering and came here.

Since the classic Eneloops became available, I've used NiMH chemistry in household flashlights, remotes, keyboards, mice, and my trusty little Canon A590 point-and-shoot camera that gives me amazing control over the process of capturing an image. I simply pack a spare pair of batteries in my camera case.

In the winter, I seem to need to use conventional lithium batteries in the outdoor sender for my remote thermometer. Might it work just fine on rechargeable lithium batteries. I see that my MH_C401FS can charge both NiMH and lithium batteries. I also see that ebl rechargeable lithium batteries can be charged with a USB cell phone charger. Is this 'acceptable practice'? It seems as though there is less control against overcharging the batteries.

Thanks

I am using Keeppower AA batteries and happy with.
Eneloop AAA is also good choice.

HKJ does intensive battery tests, and rated the EBL AA 2300mHh well.

Test of EBL AA 2300mAh (White)

Based on that I suspect that the EBL line of batteries is a decent line.

Regarding 1.5 volt rechargeable lithiums, performing similarly to 1.6V lithium primaries, I suspect they will perform similarly in cold weather. Certainly better than alkalines.
