Low self discharge NiMH are my primary survival gear batteries now (Sanyo Eneloop). They don't have the self discharge problems that traditional NiMH have or even that NiCad has.
Then a good quality charger that can be powered from 12v so it can work in my truck or from solar or whatever.


Good tip! It was the self-discharge aspect that made me say that.

Yeah, I keep a solar panel and charger in the car. Because I don't trust the NiMH I usually use for some stuff. I have not seen those Eneloop sold around here...may have to dig.
