From: Joel Connor on

There's a new type of 1.25v AA battery on the market, using a Lithium
Polymer configuration (not unlike the flat-pack in my MP3 player, but at a
different voltage) marketed by a company name of Hahnel.

A quick cursory search for reviews and discussions seem favorable. With
good low-temperature performance down to 23� F (-5� C), fast charging
times, etc.

Anyone here ever use them and care to comment?

Comments from the resident role-playing "x-spurts" that don't even own
cameras are not welcome. Don't worry, we already know who you are.

Then, as one poster has already intimated "Never ask a question to
which you don't already know the answer".

We are all random Internet posters. Google is statistically more
definitive, according to the statistics.

HTH.

No experience, but your teaser sparked me interest and I looked around.
Unfortunately, the only product under this brand/model I can find is a
pre-charged NiMH cell ... even at the manufacturer's website
(http://www.hahnel.ie/index.cfm/page/aamignonbatteries).

Can you post a reference to a Li-Poly AA product?

No problem, it was predisposed in the question.
