These two companies sell Nickel Hydride batteries. Both sell AA and C sizes,
and both cost exactly the same (Hmmmm)  They call themselves "Alternative
Energy" suppliers, which means they sell solar (photovoltaic or PV) panels,
and other stuff like 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverters, etc.  I've bought lots of
stuff from both.

Real Goods likes to wear their politics on their sleave, so to speak. If you
think Clinton may ruin the world by being too _conservative_, you'll fit right
in :-)   I like their merchandise, not their preaching.

I got some AAs from Real Goods, and they fit in my ZEOS, but unfortunately,
I can't get them to work. Voltage is 1.35, same to Radio Shack AA NiCd.s,
which work fine.
