Default Recharchable AA Suggestions

Need some AA's for my lads transmitter as that's all it will take, seen some lipo ones on ebay that you can charge via USB but from china so a bit wary, anyone got some suggestions?

Anyone used these?

Also, can i just charge them from my lipo charger (setting permitting) using this?

I've just bought 8 of these AA's for my transmitter (4 plus 4 spare) They work fine &, so far hold charge well. They easily lasted all day yesterday at our regional meet.

The only thing regarding that AA holder is that it doesn't appear to be available in the UK whereas the batteries are.

I bought one of these: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/etronix...roducts/376838 but my radio has a removable battery holder to plug this lead into, & then into the charger.

I just bought 16 panasonic eneloops and a vapex charger.
The AAs get used all over the place, but i have two sets dedicated to the Tx.

By all accounts the latest eneloops are the best (but not cheapest) rechargeable AAs going.

Those ones should be fine, I've used Eneloop and some similar ones from Lidl (£3 for 4) in my transmitter and they literally last for months and months.

Just make sure they're low discharge/ever green and you're good.

Eneloop are the best, the older ones (white I think) can do more cycles than the new (higher capacity pro?) ones but they will all do plenty.

I got some Panasonic Infinium AA since they bought eneloop (AFAIK) and though I've only had them a couple of weeks they have been fine, other than getting quite hot when charged. I read somewhere they are comparable quality to Eneloop and they were a touch cheaper, but I can't vouch for it myself yet.

2100mah each

Best wishes

So the eneloop ones are the low discharge rate ones?
