I just ordered the Nitecore D20 and I got a pile of mixed alkaline batteries in a draw.
I don't dare risk using them(even though I'd never mix different brands or types). But still say wouldn't want to use one random Duracell with a 1/4 life in it and 1 random Duracell with 3/4 life in it.
Gonna keep them for 1 battery appliances.
Anyway if I do bother using alkaline batteries, I'll only use ones from an unopened pack and most likely Duracell Ultra as they last the longest for alkaline.
However I got a Uniross fast charger with 4 Uniross 2000mAh nimh rechargeable batteries, that I'll use.
But how much better would Uniross 2700mAh nimh be if say the torch wasn't used everyday?
As I'd probably use it once or twice a week.
And those Sanyo Enloop 2000mAh batteries I heard things about the have much lower self discharge. But over how long of a period of time? Would they make significan't difference over normal nimh batteries if not used for a week or so?
And I heard they have an ever performance than other mimh batteries or alkaline batteries in certain applications.
Would flashlights count as that certain application?
And can Enloop batteries be charged on normal chargers?
Last but not least, the Nitecore D20 says it can't be used with not Li-ion batteries.
So does that exclude the NON-rechargeable lithium batteries too?
