Rechargeable batteries for YS120?

Can anyone recommend a brand (and type) of rechargeable battery that works well with Sea&Sea YS120?

After reading previous posts I have not found the information I was after.

Thanks

I've been using the Imedion 2400 mHa rechargeable AA batteries for a few years now. I think they are the best value all things considered.

They have a decent capacity, hold their charge ok and seem to have a reasonable charge number life. I use one of the Maha MH-C801D eight

cell chargers with mine.

Have bought all my batts and chargers from this mob in Melbourne- http://stores.ebay.com.au/protogphotographicequipment

i used to use Energizer Nimh, now I use eneloops and they work fine

No explosions?

I was concerned because the label on the strobes recommends only Manganese, NiCd or Alkaline.

Thanks

I have been using the Nimh on my YS 120s since around 2001, no problems so far and I use them a lot

I think the strobes came out before Nimh was on the market so maybe they never updated the info as they stopped making those strobes many years ago.

Great!

Thanks for the info, I will start using NiMh for my next dive.

Once I had my battery compartment flood on my ys120. Some of them before a certain serial # are suposedly not compatable with nimh batteries. In my case I had just taken them off the charger and they were warm still when I put them in the strobe. Now I let em cool before hand. No problems since.

Great strobes you can pick up on ebay cheap sometimes. Just have some vinager if you get a flood to clean it out good. I put mine back in service and it still works fine.

Good luck. - John
