(Tom Welch), while facing east, summoned the
courage to declaim:

Could someone tell me what is the best
rechargeable AA batteries and charger
available today?

Links to websites would be very much
appreciated.

The "best" (highest-capacity) batteries are the Powerex 2200 mAh. In
fact Powerex is usually the best or close to it for any given mAh
rating class.

The best value-for-money is probably Lenmar. Their actual capacity
is a good bit lower than their rated capacity, but Lenmar batteries
are so cheap that they are excellent value. I bought a pack of 10
Lenmar "2000 mAh" (which are really around 1800 mAh) for about US$10.
