Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
can't say for cameras, but we use NiMH 22mAh AA batteries for our wireless intercom. Mind you they transmit and receive radios. We could go a good 10-12 hours without needing to swap batteries.
(eta, that "we" should be "at my old job..." Ya. Not there anymore!)
I just met my sister's BF over Skype. I may not have a rocket car, but this is still cool, and a whole lot safer.
true! We're totally going to invite her and my BiL for holiday dinners this year... hee. I believe my mom will keel if there's a laptop on the table. I'm sure I will too eventually. But the novelty hasn't quiet worn off.
The newer NiMH hold a charge longer, particularly the ones marketed as pre-charged, Sean.

I now have the ability to get video off my TiVo and onto my computer (a Mac) for free!
Doesn't that ROCK. I love it so much. When I'm traveling a lot, I just load up the laptop, and then watch old TV in the hotel or on planes.
Yes! I'm awfully chuffed.

Oh? How do you do that? (I mean, I burn DVDs, I do, but...I"m curious...though I suppose it involves getting a wireless thingum for my TiVo, I may just keep putting it off, since that costs...)
Go wireless, Meara, it's worth the dough (and it's not that expensive). Once you're wireless, it's easy to transfer stuff through tivo-to-go or any other number of ways.
AA NiMH batteries that are at least 2200 mAh work great in digital cameras and in my old Canon A40 used to give me almost 200 additional shots over Alkaline.
2200, eh? Thanks. Because, yeah, regular AA seems to poop out after, like, nothing. I put in new batteries this weekend, and a little over 60 shots later, it was telling me my battery was low. That's bullshit.
So NiMH rather than lithium?
