One downside to NiMH chemistry is the high self discharge rate. Your freshly charged cells will lose about 10-15% of their capacity in 9 days. The new Sanyo Eneloop NiMH cells claim a far lower self discharge rate for a little more money. In my experience their claim seems to be valid.


This is what prompted me to switch to Lithium disposables. I couldn't believe how quickly the Eveready 2500 mah cells discharged simply by sitting unused in my camera. I wonder if they would discharge any quicker in colder weather.
