Rechargeable Battery

Remember the time when I said I was moody over something which I got no idea what it was? I couldn't find anything to cheer myself up so I thought maybe getting myself some new presents would do.

So I visited ShaShinKi.com for camera accessories shopping. Basically, I won't be thinking of changing lens for some time now since I'm pretty satisfied with what my lens can do right now. I got a flash-gun already, though it's not the best in the market. I would of course prefer a 580EX II in my pocket rather than a 3rd party one. However, it's really out of my budget.

Instead, I bought myself a diffuser cap for my flash gun as it is really good at avoiding harsh light on the subject. I definitely love it.

I thought of buying myself a battery grip but my flash gun over there has got no good battery to play with. So why should we buy a flashgun in the first place? So I decided to buy myself a good rechargeable battery. What they recommend was the Sanyo Eneloop Lite, but I went for the Maha Powerex which is a much better one.

The battery looks exactly the same on the box above. I know, the box certainly ain't the most convincing product. But remember, don't judge the book by it's cover. Maha is a recognized brand throughout the world, it is really good with rechargeable battery product. That's the reason I chose Maha instead of Eveready.

The charger is very efficient. It can be charged in normal switch you get in your home. However, it comes with a car-adapter in the box so you can even charge your used up batteries in your car while traveling around. There's also a switch beside the charger for you to choose whether you wanna' charge it fast or slow. The fast mode enables you to charge your batteries for only 2 hours, so it is really fast compared to other batteries in the market. Most batteries need to be charged at least 4 to 5 hours. Whereas, the charger enables you to charge in the slow mode also which will take you around 5 hours.

The slow mode would be better if you're not rushing because the batteries won't heat up and it remains cool in the slow mode and it is said to longer life span of the batteries compared to the fast mode. Alright, the most important thing right now. The charger cost me RM175.00 which includes the car-adapter and 4 Maha Powerex Batteries, no shipping fee needed.

Basically, I am really happy with my shopping cause I can snap with my flashes like no tomorrow.
