I have like loads of 1600ma NimH batteries that my parents bought for cheap one day :p

Was just wondering how long they would last compared to the 2500ma ones that everyone has been talking about :)

Oh and whats the best kind of batteries I can pick up at say Zellers, or Walmart.
 
I got 4 2500 mAh energizers and a charger for $15 and some change at walmart the other day. Its surely worth your time.

Damn, I only wish I knew. Although I would have to hunt down someone with a card.

I have 12 rechargables as it is though...4 2500's and 8 1850's
 
i have some energizer 1600mah and just been tested to last over 100mins, purely watching videos and transferring a few files, so that's probably the worst case.

If they are cheap they probably won't last long. However, you've got to try them to really find out. Remember to get batteries marked for high tech/photography use.

You might get 3 hours(depends on the quality of your batteries...), while I get 6 hours and 10 mins with my 2600mAh ones :)
