For a short duration (10 seconds), very high current drain (1 - 2 Amp), but still maintaining low self-discharge rate (70% or more within 1 year).
For example, Rechargeable AA NiCd / NiMh great for high current but mediocre self discharge. Non-rechargeable Alkaline / Lithium AA has virtually no self discharge, but does not withstand very high current drain.
The perfect battery is supposedly Rechargeable Lithium-Ion (which is used in new generation cordless power tools (drills, etc), but IS AA SIZE (PENLITE) RECHARGEABLE BATTERY EXIST, YET?
Otherwise what’s best the AA alternative?
I heard Sanyo’s Eneloop isn’t good if being used for very high current, is this correct?
