Caught an ad by Duracell claiming their new battery line can recharge in fifteen minutes. Wondering if anybody has any experience with them yet.

Lithium batteries or rechargeable AA cells? I'm a heavy user of rechargeable AA (I have 44 of them.) For those, fast recharges burn them out and dramatically shorten their life. I actually use a slow charge on them. I prefer the Kodak low discharge batteries (white label) as they perform very well and are relatively inexpensive. I know they work down to at least 32 below zero with no problem.

Kent,

The ad wasn't specific to the make up of the battery. The main boast was that they recharged in 15 mins. If they have good life they would be very handy.
