These impressive new AccuLoop NiMH Rechargeables represent a giant leap in the state of the art. Like disposables, they're pre-charged for immediate use. And unlike traditional NiMH cells, which lose 20% of their charge per month, these lose just 2%. That makes them ideal for long-idle situations and critical uses. Combine that with stable-capacity technology that easily handles high-current applications, fast charge times, and no performance loss for up to 1,000 charges, and you've got the best we've tested.
