Battery Suggestion

[Alpha2]

Side question: are "Ultra" and/or "Adorama" brand batteries trustworthy and dependable?

ie: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...p?EdpNo=1543981

​

That Ultra sounds like a deal to me and the batteries are the least of my worries too.

Man, what a load of shit! The American Tiger Direct doesn't ship to Canada, and the Canadian Tiger Direct has the same thing for $60.99! That's almost $15 more, even after converting the American price to Canadian dollars! Bastards.

Argh, after looking at Future Shop's website it strikes me that this is still a good deal. Somehow that makes it worse. :angry:

$60? why not just get a 1gb for that price. the batteries aren't rechargeable, right?

The batteries are rechargeable, and that's $60 Canadian. 1GB SD cards aren't quite that cheap.

 

[junker]

oooh, i thought you meant it was $60USD at tigerdirect.ca. and those batteries are rechargeable?? i'd better jump on this deal, too!

Anyone know if these are good batteries or just money down the drain?

2700 mAh AA NiMh

I've just noticed that the GP2X FAQ says the battery life is 6 hours video, 10 hours audio using 2850 mAh AA's.
So I think we need to be looking for long lasting batteries :unsure:

It would be really nice if Craig/GBAX would sell 2700mAh NiMhs. I'd definately buy if they were reasonably priced. Here in Sweden it's really hard to find AA NiMhs higher than 2500mAh <_<

I heard that batteries like that were fakes.

 

[Eolair]

Ouch, so much for that plan

So what's the highest real ones? 2500? 2600?

2600mAh @ Soligor
2600mAh @ Amazon

Surely Soligor and Amazon wouldn't sell the same fake batteries :blink:

 

[lucoxade]

Uniross and Energizer only make rechargables upto 2500 mAh, Duracell only make them upto 2300mAh, not because they don't know how to squeeze more charge into them, but then if everybody bought rechargables that lasted forever nobody would buy non-rechargeables ever again.

 

[junker]

so there aren't any real generic 2500mah AAs???

 

[triton]

my question is where the hell GPH got 2800mah AAs or are they phony too? i hopoe my digital innovations 2200mah batteries are good enought for a long play time

​

I doubt they used rechargable NiMhs. Probably just ordinary alkalines...but who wants to use that <_<

 

[triton]

normal alkalines are only like 1600-1800mah tho so... weird! oh well, just so long as i get it soon and stuff

 

[junker]

nah, i've seen some normal alkalines that were 2800mah somewhere on the net..

 

[BBTroll]

Energizer Lithium AA have 2900 mah. But those you can't recharge.

 

[triton]

yeah i know, but im talking STANDARD normal duracell or energizer AA alkalines they arent reall high ma ratings

 

[Blah]

Just cram a couple of these GP380AFH 3800mAh 7/5 AF batteries in. A hammer, chisel, and bodgeing experience are neccessary.
