You want rechargeable batteries.
Sanyo Eneloop batteries.
Full stop. By FAR the best battery you can get.
They actually do what they say they do, they are correctly rated and they bloody last near forever! I used the (2000) mAh ones and was blown away.
I think they have just made a higher rated one 2500 or 2600 (black ones) and they are better. I think they are made by Panasonic??
All my devices use AA or AAA batteries - I don't do battery packs for the very reason I can find myself in the middle of nowhere with no power and the only power source available will be the corner store selling disposable batteries.
I went on a 3 week holiday once - took well over 1000 pics and video with the screen on then realised that at 2.5 weeks I was still on the same 4 white AA Eneloop batteries.
Even the 'best' comparable rechargeable batteries would last 4-5 days at best.
I have seen Varta around - they are big in Europe I have noticed. Are they German??
Edited due to errors!
