i personally have duracell 1000 mah AAA's with a 15 min charger. they're very nice.

[meme405]

i have for batteries:

-20 energizer rechageable AAA's
-24 energizer rechageable AA's
-2 15 minute energizer chargers
-1 family charger (which is used to charge mostly 9 volts)
-6 9volt energizer rechargeables


All this cost me 100$ ( my friend stole it for me from his work...)

I bought my collection off ebay. I have been playing around with them for a few weeks now. I have only been on this site for a few days and I have learned alot about xmods. I cant wait to try new ideas and just have fun.

Welcome to XMS!

I run Rayovac IC-3 15-minute rechargable NiMHs. They only take 15 minutes to charge! Its sweet!

I deleted the link but i will try to find it again

[meme405]

let me just tell you rayovac ic-3's are really bad...theya were only cool because they were marketed Very prfesionally and they were the first 15min rechargeables...they have fallen behind, i think someone said they are the equivalent of 700mah batts, whereas energizers are 900...they used to be good but not anymore..

Nice that's an awesome deal! Do they have these 15 min chargers at RS?

You serious bro? My AAA IC-3's are rated at 800mAh, while my AA ones are rated at 2300mAh!

I tried the Energizer 15-minute ones at one point. I didn't get any punch from the batteries. Returned to the store and exchanged three times and still the same thing... Just my luck, eh?

I went with the IC-3s since a few close friends of mine use them with great results. They're very punchy too! Punchy enough to snap stock axles with hard slicks on cement? Oh yeah...
