Synergy Batteries -- Can anyone comment?
There's a new type of 1.25v AA battery on the market, using a Lithium Polymer configuration (not unlike the flat-pack in my MP3 player, but at a different voltage) marketed by a company name of Hahnel. A quick cursory search for reviews and discussions seem favorable. With good low-temperature performance down to 23° F (-5° C), fast charging times, etc. Anyone here ever use them and care to comment? Comments from the resident role-playing "x-spurts" that don't even own cameras are not welcome. Don't worry, we already know who you are. |

Don't worry, we already know who you are. Hey! Basement mothboy! Why should anybody take the bait? Once they reply, all you are going to do is jerk off all over this group. -- Just another troll tracker |

Don't worry, we already know who you are. No experience, but your teaser sparked me interest and I looked around. Unfortunately, the only product under this brand/model I can find is a pre-charged NiMH cell ... even at the manufacturer's website (http://www.hahnel.ie/index.cfm/page/aamignonbatteries). Can you post a reference to a Li-Poly AA product? |

Well if our favorite troll was really interested in learning about camera batteries he could simply type "nimh versus lithium ion" into the Google search box and click on "I'm Feeling Lucky." |

Such as this one from amazon.co.uk <http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hahnel-Synergy-AA-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B000LY25WQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278381027&sr =8-2> which states: "Product Description hahnel Synergy batteries offer a number of advantages over traditional alkaline batteries, including up to four times more power when used in a digital camera, high performance even at low temperatures (down to 23 degrees F) during your winter holiday, and a vast cost savings in the long run. The Synergy advantages are even more glaring when compared to typical NiMH batteries: not only are they ready for use right out of the packet, but they generally last longer than most NiMH batteries (continuous and frequent recharging can destroy other NiMH models) and save both time and money (traditional NiMH charging is slow when you're in a hurry, while rapid chargers are expensive). All told, you can recharge these batteries up to 500 times without experiencing a memory effect; just charge the amount you need and you're set." Most are claiming a typical NiMH chemistry. One I had read claiming Li-Poly (and can't find that thread now). It could be I read that page too fast and confused it for a Li-Poly chemistry. Which had me wondering because Lithium chemistry will define 3.7v. Though I couldn't figure out how they got 1.25v base voltage from HiMH chemistry either. Then there's also the "Mignon" (not Synergy) brand name from Hahnel that also claims NiMH chemistry. Maybe they're just a new NiMH configuration and not Li-Poly. In either case, they seem to be an improvement over the more recently popular "Eneloop", "Hybrid", and other "pre-charged" NiMHs out there. The rated 1.25v strongly suggests a different chemistry. So I was wondering if anyone's been using them and if they perform up to their claims. I do a lot of near-arctic-temperature photography at times (down to -44F) and any improvement in cold weather performance, as well as reliable fast-recharge times, intrigues me. |

And if the SMS troll was really interested in being a decent pretend-photographer troll, he would know that Li-Ion is not ths same as Li-Poly. Try again. |
