[Elecraft] Source of NiMH cells?

[Bob]

Hi Ken,

While higher capacity may seem better, it is sort of a false promise.  The
highest capacity cells tend to have high self-discharge, which causes them
to deplete just sitting on the shelf quickly.

Look for low self-discharge batteries.  Sanyo's Enerloop (~2000mah) or
Sanyo's XX (~2500mah) are two good examples.  Hard to beat amazon pricing.

Enerloop are about $20 for a set of 8.  XX are about $34.
