Hello everyone:

I have recently bought the Fuji HS10 camera, but now I am confused about which batteries and charger should I buy.

I am interested in the Maha/Powerex 2700mAh batteries and in the Eneloop batteries... What do you think about these batteries? Are they good? Are there any others better than them? What do you recommend me?

By the other hand, I've been looking to the La Crosse BC-9009 charger. However, I am worried about this charger because of the "melting problem" that many users have experienced. Has this issue been solved by now? Is this a good charger or which one do you recommend me (not very expensive please, hahaha)?

Thanks in advance for any help. Every advice will be highly appreciated, because I am a newbie in this of photography.

Regards!

Hi Agafed

You hit the nail on the head. Without a doubt, Maha charger and Powerex or Eneloops. It is what the professionals use - I have used both types for some time now. It is very marginal but I always pick up my Eneloops before the Powerex

I use them primarily in a Canon Speedlite 580EXll with a Canon battery Pack CP-E4. This combination takes a lot of current demand from the batteries. I covered a wedding not long ago and my Eneloops fired the flash about 1000 before needing to be replaced. I have no doubt that the Powerex would be similar performance

Yes, I recommend Maha & Powerex/Eneloops. You can't go far wrong with them....

They also come charged up, ready to use...Magic :smile:

Using a rapid '15' minute charger works but will dramatically shorten the life of the battery so don't be enchanted by quick recgarge.

That's great! Thanks a lot for the advice!

The only think that makes me feel worried about the La Crosse charger, is that many users have experienced a "melting problem"... so, I don't know if this issue has already been solved... :4-dontkno
