Test results in a Nikon SB-800 camera flash.
Glen from the DSLRusers.com forum recently did an extensive test of AA battery performance in his Nikon SB-800 flash, mounted on his Nikon D300 DSLR. I believe this is the first time a series of rechargeable AA batteries have ever been tested to see the real world results in a flash, and I am sure a lot of photographers will find this controlled test of real world value when choosing your batteries.
For the test, Glen compared four sets of 4 AA rechargeable batteries to see how many flashes could be achieved from each. Results are as follows:
Powerex 2700mAh = 266 flashes
Energizer 2500mAh = 242 flashes
IMEDION 2100mAh = 218 flashes
eneloop 2000mAh = 204 flashes
If you don't use your batteries as soon as you charge them, then test results are different. Some batteries are better at HOLDiNG their charge than others. Here are the results of the same test, 3 weeks after the batteries are charged.
Powerex 2700mAh = 250 flashes
Imedion 2100mAh = 211 flashes
Energizer 2500mAh = 208 flashes
eneloop 2000mAh =191 flashes
After just 3 weeks, the 2700mAh Powerex batteries provide 20.1% more flashes than the 2500mAh Energizers.
