    Rechargeable AA/AAA Batteries

    What is everyone using? I'm talking your standard AA, AAA, 9v, ect. Eneloop seems to be the high end but very well rated Amazon Basics seems solid but lower capacity and I have seen people report issues due to the lower voltage 1.2 vs 1.5 on the AA's in some devices. EBL looks like a good...
