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

Links to websites would be very much
appreciated.

Here are a couple of links to get you started.
Just read them, then wait for the pros here
to give you expert advice. I don't know jack
about the science of rechargeables. I went
to WalMart and got an Energizer AccuCharger
and some Duracell 1800 mAh NiMH batteries.
