Looking for Rechargeable batteries w/ charger

[xbltheshadow]

I'd like to buy some rechargeable batteries, with a charger included. Going to use them in the guitar for GH3 so I hope you guys can help me find some that will last a long time on a full charge. I'm open to not only the best price, but what you consider to be the best product. Thanks in advance!

The guitars require batteries?

No, it runs on sunshine and jellybeans.

The wireless guitars for GH3 require 2 AA batteries

Thanks smartass. I didn't know. The only version i've played is the ps2 GHII version.

Nice try at being a jackass though.

I would suggest something from costco, they usually have the best deals on quality batteries even if its there own brand.

A fellow CAG posted these batteries a while back :

when they posted it, the deal was $20 for 20 batteries + charger. Looks like it's now $25 for 20 batteries + charger, but still a helluva deal.

I love the batteries myself .

I recommend an Eneloop battery set, if you have access to Costco. It's ~$26 in-store for the charger, 8 AA, 4 AAA, and adapters for 2 C or D batteries. Eneloops have low self-discharge rates and last a while. I've read that they last longer than the standard NiMH batteries, too. I bought the Costco set and I'm happy with it.

haha, the top feature for the batteries are "sold out" not sure if they are, just thought it was humorous

This one cost $40 at best buy and $30 at amazon:

It come with 4 batteries and only takes 15 minutes to fully charge. This really beats the 3-6 hours many chargers take. Plus, it has a nice "bad battery dectector" feature. I exploded a battery in my last charger by accidently puting a regular battery in it. So, I'm assuming that would shown up as a bad battery on this charger.

eneloops seem to have a good reputation as being quality high-end rechargables (though not the cheapest available). threads here:

Ok guys, I made the decision to purchase the eneloop batteries from Amazon since I don't have a Costco membership. Thanks for all the imput and I fully expect them to be awesome!

I pulled the trigger on this deal:

Seemed pretty good to me, he has 9 more of these kits available if anyone else is interested. There was another kit that was the same thing and $5 cheaper but he didn't accept paypal. Anyone think this was a good deal???
