I purchased my rechargeables in Jan. or Feb. this year, and have used them for
all kinds of electronics, and have recharged them at least 15 - 20 times, and
I'm sure that the charge isn't as good as it was when they were new, but I
would say that 3/4 would be an accurate guess. I have yet to have one not take
a charge. I am very pleased with them. A 15 minute charge is very handy too,
even if I forget to charge em' the night before caching, I can easily do so
while enjoying my morning coffee. :)

Thanks everyone for your information. I have a couple of follow-up questions.
Have you ever had the batteries go "dead" (i.e. won't recharge, or won't stay
charged for long)? If so, approx how long did that take (in recharges or
months/years)?
At Sam's, I bought a recharge kit with 8 AA batteries and 4 AAA batteries.
It was the same price as (I believe) a 32-count AA case.
Eric mentioned that he was getting about 3/4 of the time with rechargeables,
so I would need at least 5 recharges to be worth the value. Will the 8
batteries will last 5 times longer than a typical AA over its life? If so, is
the charge still good after that 5th use?
Thanks again!
Andrew
