pulsar XQ thermal batteries

[sampieman]

Hi,
Anyone know of AA rechargeable batteries that fit in the pulsar thermal image which anr not a tight fit

Invest in one of the DNV batts, much more reliable.

 

[sampieman]

are they the ones that fit in the battery housing or an external battery ?

I got massively let down by rechargeables last night, two sets ran out very quickly and I went home at 11pm (foxing)
Had a few lithiums which last days, but not many left now.

I've used Ansmann 2850mAh's in my HD38S since I bought it 3.5 years ago..... these were/are giving me 6hours runtime during the summer and I bought another 2 sets late last year. I've bought them all from picstop on fleabay and have no complaints there.

The springs on one of my battery holders have got a bit tired so I bought a twin pack of the DNV self-contained rechargeable batteries late last month..... first impressions weren't too good as I was only getting 3.5hours runtime but think this has improved as they've run in a bit. The stated capacity is 2300mAh so they'll never last as long as the Ansmanns.

microglobe are the place to buy.....

I am not sure if they fit but the standard all companies aspire to in rechargeable batteries are "Eneloop" batteries. Its the choice of pro photographers.

I use Ansmann as well. I found the non rechargeable batteries didn't last long.

I've been using Kentli in mine and they're great. They have a USB charger. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121840968970

You will find not all rechargeable AA batts are the same length, some are 1-2mm longer hence very tight in the holder.
Paul at Scotts country will help you out with the correct AA's but I found its easier to go DNV which last for ages.

Yes, the Panasonic Eneloop Pro 2500mHa really do appear to outperform their stated spec - although it might just be that other manufacturers are overstating their own product's output . The other thing about them is that they will retain 85% capacity a year after charging, so handy to have a few sets around and ready to go. They are rated for use down to -20c and fit in the XQ battery holder.

The DNV batt fits inside.

I use either Enloop or Duracell, they will last at least two nights foxing and I keep a spare set with me at all times. You need a good charger/refresher if you are using rechargables.

No issues with the fit in the xq 38.

It comes with 2 battery packs so you can always keep a spare set in the battery pack.

Duracell Duralock rechargeable (AA) work well in my HD50S - they last some 5-6 hours, even after many re-charges.

I have used the 'Ansmanns' too (1850's) for the last 18 months in my XD 38 S. They are still giving a good 6 hrs use. I carry a spare set, but rarely have to use them in an outing. I think it helps to have a good charger though, as important as quality batteries I'd say.

Fujitsu in mine, the black ones in the 4 pack, got em off Ebay. They last really well on a charge. Best I've tried and not too expensive, around 7-8 quid a pack. I've the DVN pack too, it's crap.
Doesn't fit well and the run time isn't as good as the Fujitsu.
