[QUOTE="hark, post: 793272, member: 13196"] Godox has issues with some of their rechargeable batteries. If they completely deplete, they have to be revived (meaning open the case and work on the internals of the battery to jump start it). And sometimes they cannot be revived. With the cost of just one rechargeable Godox battery, for me it wasn't worth it. Hence my preference for AA. And as @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-46724-twistedthrottle.html"]TwistedThrottle[/URL] mentioned, if in a pinch, AA batteries are pretty easy to come by. I also own Eneloop rechargeable batteries - the ones that [B]aren't[/B] high capacity. Rechargeable AA batteries are far more cost-effective in my opinion than one $40+ Godox battery to have as a backup. I follow Wes Perry on YouTube (electrical engineer). He recommends Eneloop. Some of my batteries are the Sanyo Eneloop ones - the original brand before Panasonic took them over. They still work fine. In fact, a week ago I went through and charged all of my Eneloop batteries - AA and AAA. I even use them in things like clocks and flashlights. BUT ... for anyone who has a Godox trigger, do NOT use rechargeable AAA batteries. It has something to do with the voltage of rechargeable AAA batteries not being the same as Alkaline AAA batteries. Too many misfires/failures to fire because their voltage is a little less than alkaline. [/QUOTE]
