My question to you all is what do you use
How long do you use them before you by New ones.
What would you buy today if you needed new ones
And from who would you get them from.

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.

This thread is making me smile. /> /> />
Battery counts, batching, dating each battery, searching for sources, all very type "A" behavior. I am lucky to even remember batteries and usually trying to find a Wal-Mart on the way to the airport. Or more often buying Duracels at twice the price at some dive shop because my rechargeables have given up the ghost after my first dive.
In all seriousness, as rarely as I get to use my underwater gear I have tried several rechargeable systems and to me it is just more cost effective to use regular alkaline batteries. All my dive lights are old school c-cells and I just dump the batteries or give them away if I can when I head home. My GoPro and my P&S Nikon are all proprietary so no worries there other than they take separate cords. /> /> My Oceanic VT3 uses OTC button batteries, CR something-or-others.

Jerry, Sorry for the later reply on this one. Just needed some time to gather info and get things straightened out at home.Hey guys how about the details, are they too long, too fat , I have a set that the positive terminal isn't tall enough to work in my backup light. The battery holder dimension is a couple thousands off or the heat shrink covering is a bit thick over the top of batteries. Pics would be nice :-)Over the weekend a interesting discovery,Mike/ScubaTurtle found out.The rechargeable battery's he has now,will not fit the Hollis backup flashlight.They are slightly larger.Enough to not fit..MMMMMMMMM??
