I know skymall isn't exactly the most reputable source, but at the same time the vast majority of their products seem plausable and something someone buys and enjoys.

How long were the trips?
I must be the only one to ever have good luck with Energizer batteries. I have some that are at least 5-6 years old and still reliable. I have reconditioned some of them with this: http://www.mahaenergy.com/store/viewite ... roduct=422 . When they were newer I used them for three 4-5 hour trips with no problem. I tried that last year and had to change batteries on the third trip. Mostly I put them on "soft" charge between trips.
