[paulpost]

Hi, I have a quick question , which are the best AA batteries for monitor back for Amphibico?
I know the more mAh the best but sometimes what is advertise is not what the batteries can really delivers.
Any advice is well come.
Thanks Paul

I have used four 2,500 mAh Lenmar NiMH batteries for my LCD (not in the Amphibico housing though), and they last through an entire day of diving as long as I turn the LCD off during the lunch surface interval.

I used the Energizer E2 2800MAH batteries for my monitor whils in Bonaire and they lasted the full day. One time it used them till the next day at lunch with no problems. They could have probably made it 2 days.

I made these rechargeable battery packs for my 5" interior monitor with these:

ACCUPOWER 2900mAh AA RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

2900MAH and they last forever. I did 8 45+ min dives on one battery pack on a single charge.

Thanks for the posts, it help me to make my mind.
Emty V, where did you get the plastic shrink to build the packs?
I have to replace the batteries in my video lights and I have to build the packs.
Thank you all

The Duracel rechargeable AA batteries are the best that I have found. I used to use them in the MonitorBack for the Top Dawg II housing.

The best batteries are the Energizer Lithium AA. They provide 5+ hours in Light & Motion's monitor back.

High capacity NiMH AA cells are a close second, and more economical. Maha and Ansmann cells have historically been rated very well.
