Unleashing the Power of Your Flash: Eneloop Pro vs. Energizer Max AA
Photographers rely on their flashes for stunning, perfectly-lit shots but flash performance hinges heavily on battery choice. In a recent test, we pitted the popular Energizer Max AA battery against the Eneloop Pro AA, a rechargeable champion, to see which reigns supreme.
The results were clear: Eneloop Pro emerged as the undisputed king of flash power. Here's a breakdown of the test:
- Flash Flashes: Eneloop Pro delivered a whopping 499 flashes compared to Energizer Max's measly 291. That's a 71% increase in usable flashes!
- Recycle Time: Eneloop Pro maintained a consistent 2.7 to 3.8 second recycle time up to 450 flashes, ensuring minimal waiting between shots. In contrast, Energizer Max displayed a dramatic increase in recycle times from very early on, exceeding 25 seconds by the end. This translates to frustrating delays in your workflow.
- Cut-Off Voltage: Even when depleted, Eneloop Pro managed to power the flash with a remaining voltage of 1.022 volts. Energizer Max tapped out at 1.244 volts, leaving valuable unused power behind.
- Reduced Battery Costs: Eneloop Pro's reusability eliminates the constant need to buy disposable batteries, saving you money in the long run.
- Faster Workflow: Consistent recycle times ensure a smooth photographic experience, allowing you to capture fleeting moments without delay.
- Maximised Efficiency: Eneloop Pro utilises its full potential, minimizing wasted power and maximizing flash performance.
