I have been using Ray-O-Vac Renewal alkaline rechargeables.  I was going
through them very quickly until I found out that the internal chemistry
changes of renewable alkalines is minimized by recharging frequently (the
opposite of Ni-Cad batteries).

Now I recharge after every day of diving, and have good performance.  Every
now and then, a battery goes bad, and I have to spend a little while figuring
out which one it is before chucking it.

Anyone got numbers on resistance of UK mini-Q40 bulbs (I use two mini-Q40
lights mask mounted for gauges and highlighting); UK1200 bulbs; and typical
AA and D alkali batteries?  Ni-Cads?  Ray-O-Vac renewable alkalis?
