Recommendations For Good C&D NiMH Cells?

I need to replace my 10-12 year old C&D NiMH cells. Any advice on good cells that are hi-cap, slow discharge and priced right?

I’ve never had any luck with any of them. AA-to-D or C adapters work better for me. I just load them up with Eneloops.

Can anyone recommend some of these adapters for me?

I’ve been using these, you can use 1,2 or 3 AA cells, and the back connector works properly with a Maglite, unlike the 2 cell ones.

I asked the same question when I bought my Fenix TK-70 a few years ago.

I ended up buying Tenergy Centura 8000mAh D cells. They are good quality and low self discharge. I bought them either from Amazon or from a seller on ebay (I can’t remember)…

I have both Powerex Imedion and Tenergy Centura LSD cells bought for my Fenix TK70s back then. I wasted the extra money buying the much more expensive Imedions for the Centuras retain their capacities much higher over a period of time over the Imedions.

I don’t know if there is connection here, but I also bought 16 Imedion AA cells for my Fenix TK41 during that time and all have them are now junk due to leakage and poor capacity retention.

Eneloop is king.

I can’t remember exactly where I got mine (I think it was one of the Chinese websites, maybe Fasttech?) but they look just like these. They’re parallel so you can run them with only a single AA Eneloop loaded up if you want, or add more for longer runtime. And yes they work great in series applications like longer Maglites.

If you want, you can get the official Eneloop adapters, but they only hold a single AA cell, not 3…

Otherwise, here are some that take 3 AAs… Amazon.com

Those look great!

Even cheaper on eBay:

(By the way, I am only looking at adapters in the U.S.)

I like the Tenergy Centura cells, too. Good sales don’t happen often, though. I got my D cells through Newegg’s marketplace a few years ago at a great price.
