of course, they are NOT lithium batteries, so what's your point?

Someday you should visit the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bring your camera and enjoy the natural beauty of the "infamous welfare state." Welfare caseload per capita in Puerto Rico is lower than in 34 other states/territories and the District of Columbia.KeithBreazeal said:And yes, Puerto Rico is one of our infamous welfare states.

The Eneloop batteries are a form of NiMh battery, not Lithium.

Tuscani2k03 said:Hmm, I find it odd that nobody else here has run into this issue. I shoot weddings with mine, and the batteries get hot enough that they can't be held in your hand. I use energizer ultimate. Any suggestions from other's who may have to shoot a lot using the flash during a short period of time?
But Eneloops are rechargeable NiMH batteries, not Lithium.mangobutter said:I've been using Eneloops in my Speedlites (And Nikon units) for years without problems

mrzero said:This is really just a quiet way of saying "We won't cover repairs to your speedlite under warranty if you tell us you used lithium batteries."
CaptainZero said:I had a terrible experience with the Nimh rechargeables. Right when I bought my 580EX, I started buying rechargeables. I had about 20 batteries, and 2 fast chargers. I used them for other things besides my flash, but about the 3rd or 4th time through my flash, they leaked all over. I threw the whole works in the garbage, and haven't looked back.
What would be great, would be if the flash took an LP-E6.
Li-ion, LiPo, LiFePO4, etc. Are rechargeables Lithium batteries.rawshooter said:[...] rechargeable lithium batteries (is there such a thing?)[...]
rawshooter said:So what are they talking about, rechargeable lithium batteries (is there such a thing?) or just regular ones?
rawshooter said:I'm using "Varta Lithium Professionals" and have quite a stockpile, so it would suck if i shouldn't use them anymore.
They have for years...AcutancePhotography said:Perhaps Canon is considering marketing their own brand of batteries? ;D
