Team up your batteries for better life25Mar07
Here is a little tip I thought I would share. I learned this a while back from my friend Jason and then have heard it several times from different sources.
Teaming up your batteries can greatly improve your batteries life and longevity. Apparently there is something about using and charging your batteries together in the same set that helps them last longer when used and also improve their over all life. Don’t ask me why I just thought I would pass along the info.
I currently have 7 sets of 4 AA batteries and I have used a Sharpie to place numbers on the side. I also have a case that I can store them as sets so that it is easy to find the teams.

Just wondering what equipment you use these in (the 20D)? I have two Canon batteries that go in my 350D’s extended grip, but there’s also an insert for it that takes 4 AA batteries. I’ve never used it, but if you have then I’m wondering how it compares to the standard batteries in terms of weight and performance?

I use AAs in my flashes only. I have the AA insert into the battery grip too but I have heard these are for emergency type of uses as they will not last long but I have never tried it so I don’t know.
