which make of CR-P2 batteries for classic inspo

[Dr T]

What you chaps reckon ?

CR-P2s panasonic (£10.49 for 5) or fujifilm (£11.75 for 5) for a classic inspo, or no real difference ??

Ps. I know AP are recommending Energizer but they are about £20 a pair !!

I use the panasonics and have never had a problem.

As always YMMV

Years ago when the first Inspo's had "battery bounce" there was a particular make that was recommended (I think Energiser), but since this is now recified and the vision is also out there, I personally have used Panasonic, Fuji, Energiser, Fujitsu and an obscure make called Pakko. The worst by far were the Pakko (unknown brand but I had them for something else so gave them a go - 5 dives a battery was the best I got).

If you were to line these all up and test them, I bet you would get a small amount of difference between them all, but nowhere near enough to worry about. Some may say "I always get longer out of xxxxxx brand", so they go around doing extensive tests, log all the hours and tot them up at the end of the battery life? Yeah, right........
I've used the ones above with no problems, and don't stick to the same brand at one time, I just replace with whatever is at hand.
I've no doubt some of the tefal heads with butt in with "you must use this type......etc etc etc etc etc etc". Just adopt one rule, stick with a known brand and you won't go wrong. I'm just off to order some more Fuji's......
Prepare for your 500 or so guru replies ...

Try the 7day shop on the web as I bought 20 packs at around £2.40.

I've used various makes and not noticed much diffrence.

Just make sure they fit nice and snug.
