I too like enloops the best. I also bought a couple of packs of Ray-O-Vac 1000mha NiMH batteries. i consider them bottom of the barrel, but I get a week+ out of a set. I average reading my JBL about 2 hours a day. I rotate them every weekend regardless. So, while I'll probably only buy enloops in the future, just about any quality battery will do for the JBL.

I did a bunch of research before buying a charger from Thompsons. It seems that slow charging the NiMH batteries significantly increases the number of times that they will recharge compared to fast charge-type chargers.
