Hey, what's that up there? (points up to the ceiling)
- Where? (points flashlight up. It goes out)
Dude. It's dark.
- No it isn't. (points flashlight down again. It turns on again)
I want to see what's up there.
- You can't. My flashlight doesn't work when held upright.
Dude. You know that will kill--------AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRHGGHHRR!!]]>Jun 30th 2009 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/]]>Jun 30th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/NiCd batteries supposedly suffer from the memory effect, but it's really "dumb" chargers that over charge them.
NiMH batteries require a smarter charger, but they self-discharge over time. The worst ones would go from fully charged to almost fully empty in about two weeks.
Eneloops are NiMH that can hold a charge for more like a year.
Li-Ion and Li-poly have no memory, low self-discharge, and high power to weight ratio and power density. They cost more and can't replace AAs, though.]]>Jun 30th 2009 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/Jun 30th 2009 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sanyos-eneloop-lamp-heals-your-ecological-soul/
