Mamiya users all have to deal with the very short battery life of the 6 AA cells, whether in the camera, or in the off-camera battery pack. Rechargeable AA batteries tend to have an even shorter life, but I'd really like to not be feeding the landfill w/ a constant supply of single-use batteries (I do recycle them, but who knows where they really end up).
Has anyone found a rechargeable AA battery that has a satisfactory life in the camera, and through repeated recharge cycles? I shoot mostly landscapes, outdoors and sometimes in very cold temps, so this seems like a tall order, but if there is something good out there, I'd sure like to know about it. I am not aware of a rechargeable battery unit for the 645AFD series. If one exists, I'd like to know about that, too.
Thanks,
Jamie
