I'm wanting to switch to a rechargeable battery to power my Obsidian Lite hilt.

Are there advantages Li-Ion over NI-MH, Ni-Cd?  I guess there are still rechargeable Alkaline batteries out there too. 

Is there a minimum mAh rating to consider? 

I would think that a brand that has many recharge cycles in its lifespan, as well as no memory, would be best.

Thanks!

Eneloop Pro.  I use these in all my standard setups.  They are more expensive than your average rechargeable battery but they are worth it.

Thank you ! Yes I had seen the Eneloop brand rated highly in a comparison test. Curiously , the one they liked was the AmazonBasic NiMH

Buy what he said. I'm pretty sure at this point everyone on the forum who uses rechargeables in their standard setup uses these.
