And they're not all they're cracked up to be.
Sure you get WAY much power out of them, but recharging them is no good.
The charger is 7,208,960v, 360 phase, the cord is a 84" diameter and the drain on the power grid is HUGE!!!
Last time I charged them, back in August '03, power went out from Michigan to Massachusetts, New Jersey to Ottawa.
And I only got a partial charge then.
My suggestion, stick with the Duracells for now.

Yeah, they are a bit difficult, however you can light a EM motor with a Copperhead using one. A good trade-off.
 
And Bethel, Danbury, etc...

But do you have a BATFE AMUP? (Anti-Matter User's Permit) You will have to prove your magnetic containment system is up to par.
