#530 FYI-Rechargable Batteries for Speedlights

I always use rechargeable in my lighting etc as they hold a really good staying power and have never let me down.. For the cost they certainly outway using disposables




#526 FYI-Rechargable Batteries for Speedlights

Posted by JRosen on 01 October 2013 - 11:17 AM

I was curious what batteries to use for my Speedlight (SB700), and I was informed by many pro's to use Eneloop by Sanyo (Panasonic).  As it turns out, these babies really do work well.  They hold a charge through rigorous shooting, and have a quick rebound.

 

I was using disposable batteries in my Speedlight, and it was eating them like candy.  Plus, if I left them in too long they tended to leak.  But these Eneloop batteries are holding up quite well.

 

They're not too expensive either.  I got them from (one of this site's sponsors) B & H.  They have a starter kit for $34 that has all you need plus the charger.

#800 Hi from Queensland

Hi everyone, Lindy from Cairns Australia here.  I love my Nikon......started photography 2 years ago and have only been with Nikon.  My first camera was the D90 and what a great camera it was.  I have since sold it and upgraded to the D600 and the D3s.

I have a D3100 with a kit lens and it does an awesome job. Pretty light yet sufficient enough for newbie like me

Refurb D5100. great sensor and AE bracketing. You will want the Bracketing as you grow.
