Manufacturer: Linogy Price as tested:  $129 Link: linogy.com Compared to standard nickel metal hydride technology, these lithium batteries maintain a higher voltage for longer, which for some devices can be the difference between working as expected or not at all. New chemistry demands a new charging solution. Fortunately the charging station handles Li-ion and NiMh. And it cleverly aids in organization by dumping all the batteries into a drawer when they’re done. My first set of “innovative” AA rechargeable batteries were alkaline. They worked well for a few cycles in the included charger before they oozed all over my uncle’s kitchen counter. Years later I watched a photographer gleefully try 1.6V NiZn batteries in a camera flash that chewed through AAs. He gave up after they ran out multiple times in one session. Fully charged, Linogy’s AAs measured about 1.7V, compared to NiMh 1.5V. But I’ve heard misleading numbers before, so I wanted to see how they did in real-world examples.…
