I have never done a controlled test on this but Duracell's would tend to last about 1-2 months max in my TX. The energizer's last easily 4-5x longer. Another the initial bonus is that the initial voltage is higher then alkaline cells and in my TX drop less voltage.

If you can get them for 50 cents each that is a great deal considering what they retail for in stores.

Wow, you get over a month out of regular CopperTop Duracells? My TQ transmitters go through them about every week and a half.

I have to replace the throw away AA's in my M8 every other weekend of racing. I like the idea keep us posted on this.

[_paralyzed_]

you can get 16 rechargeable aa's and an 8 bay charger on fleebay for about $25

I have found the Kirkland brand of AAs at Costco to be very good especially for the price

I use the rechargeable duracell aa's in my m8. they seem to last a while between charges .

i hate the rechargeable AAs they have to be recharged like every weekend, and really drop voltage fast...... im got about 6 weekend of racing and lots of random playing in between on my regular AAs so if gonna grab me 50 of those energizer lithiums and ill set me set on TX and flash light batteries for a couple years.....

I really like the Sanyo Eneloop cells. 1.2 volts, really good high-current capacity (for AAs) and very low self-discharge- they seem to outperform "normal" NiMH in every way. (Buckets of info on this on candlepowerforums under the batteries section!- they are to torches what you guys are to RC!))
