Replace all of your standard alkaline disposable batteries with the new Hybrio by Ultralast. The Hybrio lasts up to four times longer than standard alkaline batteries on each charge and can be recharged up to 500 times, meaning you can be using your battery-powered devices instead of buying batteries! And the Hybrio backs it up with a three-year battery life guarantee. Try getting that from your regular battery!

Sounds interesting enough..

Did you see the "charging time" on the battery graphic at the top? For people that are used to quick chargers... ouch!

Also, 7h*420mA = 2940mAh assuming 100% efficient charging, which never happens.

I'm guessing these won't offer any extra capacity over high end NiMH batteries, but maybe an advantage is lower self discharge (says they ship charged, so must be).

If they say they ship charged then they are likely Li-ion. NiMH don't like being stored with a charge, Li-ion requires them to be stored with a charge or they deteriorate.

I have 6 Sanyo Eneloop batteries I use, which are a new type of nimh. They ship charged, and have very very low discharge rate. They maintain 90% charge after sitting for 6 months.

They are great batteries to use as emergency backups, since you can chage them up and let them sit.

How long do they last in the GP2X?
