Well, I do. They don't hold their charge very long on the shelf

Try the "low self-discharge" NiMH batteries. They arrive fully charged,
and claim to hold their charge for a year, and cost only pennies more
than the usual type.

I use them in my Edirol R-09, and though their 2200 mAH capacity is
theoretically less than the 2600 mAH batteries I had before, in practice
if I pick up the Edirol and start using it, it works, whereas the older
batteries were always flat when I needed them.

Thank you!

I pulled out 2700 mAh NiMH cells -- which hadn't been charged in over three
months -- yesterday to power an electronic flash, and they worked fine.
