Before Covid changed the world, I relied on Thomas Distributing to supply AA and AAA batteries for a reasonable price. Have forum participants found an alternative during the 2+ years since Thomas closed?
I need to order some new batteries. I found the offerings on both eBay and Amazon so confusing that I gave up ordering and came here.
Since the classic Eneloops became available, I've used NiMH chemistry in household flashlights, remotes, keyboards, mice, and my trusty little Canon A590 point-and-shoot camera that gives me amazing control over the process of capturing an image. I simply pack a spare pair of batteries in my camera case.
In the winter, I seem to need to use conventional lithium batteries in the outdoor sender for my remote thermometer. Might it work just fine on rechargeable lithium batteries. I see that my MH_C401FS can charge both NiMH and lithium batteries. I also see that ebl rechargeable lithium batteries can be charged with a USB cell phone charger. Is this 'acceptable practice'? It seems as though there is less control against overcharging the batteries.
Thanks
