I believe batteries have evolved ever since and I need some help choosing new batteries. Are there gold standard batteries for this purpose? I've read that according to the type of use (from PC mouse to digital cameras) we can choose different batteries. There are rechargeable batteries at every shop but it seems some people recommend ordering some special Eneloop and Duracell lines, that are more expensive but much, much better. Hum...does anyone know anything about batteries?

I read somewhere the slowest it is, the better. I use a very, VERY old Philips one. It works well, I just have no idea if it allows the batteries to their best performance. @bluedog, I considered the battery packs some time ago, but I just got too used having batteries around for other purposes (mice, tv remotes, cameras and other devices) :).

There are many reports of Amazon sending previous version/generations of the batteries while advertising the new ones... I'd hate to pay for one type and get some other
