High capacity AA batteries for weddings

[wedding photographer]

Can you recommend any high capacity batteries for flash?
Currently I use Energizer 2450maH. I heard that there are special batteries which recycle faster and last longer than my energizer batteries... I would need them for wedding photography.
Some people recommend Powerex Maha....
Has anybody used them? Is there a good battery on the market which outperforms all the other AA batteries?
Thanks,
Otto

Are you looking for rechargeable batteries? I have heard good things about the Powerex batteries as well as the Eneloop rechargeables. I have a set of Eneloops and I really like them. I haven't used them in my flash that much though.

They aren't rechargeable but the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries work very well and last a long time. For more power and faster recycle time you may want to look into a dedicated battery pack for your flash.

I've got the Maha Powerex batteries, and I must say I love them. I've been able to shoot 2-3 events with medium flash use and didn't need to recharge them in between. Recycle time is nice & fast also.

I'm not so interested in capacity as reliability.
I need batteries that retain their charge and work without having to top them up.
I standardised on the Uniross Hybrio 2100mAh

Do yourself a favor and buy more sets rather than a quick charger. Fast charging is the biggest enemy of rechargeable batteries. It will greatly shorten their life.
