I've been using some. They hold a charge for about 2 or three days. So I recharge before use. Made in China cheap stuff. I'd rather have some lithium AAs.

Yea, well, batteries have generally gotten better. I'm sure there's still crap ones out there, but just buy some and try them.

You'll have a hard time doing all that much better than these duracells for high drain devices. I think being picky about which batteries is less important than keeping your batteries fresh, using a good charger, and removing the dead or weak ones from the herd.
