Sorry for not responding sooner; haven't been on for a couple of days.

I was wrong about the Ray-O-Vacs; they are 1800mAh AA batteries. It is in such small print that it sure looks like 1000 to my old eyes. I just dug out a magnifying glass to check. Sorry!!

I bought a LaCross BC-900 charger about a year ago. It lets you set the charging rate. Default is 200mA charging, but can be bumped up 1800mA. I always use the 200mA setting. Charging a dead set takes a while on this setting.

The enloops do last longer. I should actually time how long each lasts. The Ray-O-Vacs go from 4 to 3 marks on the battery indicatory after a couple of hours and the enloops go much longer. At the end of a week my normal reading both still read 3 marks on the indicator, which is "good enough".
