I think its due to cost and perhaps space constrain but the heat in the engine bay is rather bad for the batt. It shortens the lifespan. I am now spending time and $$$ to relocate the batt to the trunk so the batt will last longer. But need to lay cables.... :(

Cause my dad's van batt is dying already. thus looking for a good battery that can last him 3ys (his van left ~3yrs COE). Thanks!!

Let's say I am going for a shoot. After two to four days from the day they are being charged, how much of their original capacity will they retain? another way to ask, how long before the shoot can i charge my batts? i am using compact digicam for diving. it uses two AA batts. my batts are mostly sanyo 2700mah but got one pair GP2700 and two pairs "uniross" 2500. i usually use them in my nikon SB800 external flash. been a long time since i took my sony P73 underwater for a shoot. as most of you know, u can't change batts underwater my trip is this weekend, i charged some batts yesterday, and will charge the others today and tmr. but my concern is whether the batts i charged yesterday and will charge today will run out of juice by the dive trip.. don't feel like getting eneloop because their capacity is lower. and i can't "condition" them in time for the dive trip. also, can;'t charge everything on thurs and fri as they need about 4 hours to be charged. or can i just do a "top up" charge w/o discharging? another matter, if anyone got lobang for cheap and decent alkaline 'C' size batt i'd like to hear it too. need those for my dive torches. one torch eats 8 C size batts and i have two of those (one for wifey). actually we intend to kiamsiap and only switch on one torch, the other torch use as spare. we have another smaller dive torch liao but the beam is quite narrow
