What batteries to get??? Eneloop versus Imedion rechargeables

I am looking to replace a lot of things with my rig and the first thing is to get rid of these old rechargeable batteries that I have that are so frustrating to maintain and trust.  I have been looking around the internet and found these two type of batteries and wondering if people have had good experience with them.  Any thoughts?  I usually get my stuff from thomas distributing as far as my batteries go the rest of the stuff will probably be from reef photo.  Been lurking on the forum and went to log in and found I had to change my password since it was too old and primitive.  I must be getting long in the tooth.

I believe both brands are excellent batteries.  I have several sets of Eneloop batteries, and I have never been disappointed in their performance.  I think I'll continue to purchase Eneloops. 

The cheapest place for batteries is usually Amazon, because you can often get free shipping there.  Thomasdistirbuting sells on Amazon.

Hey Don thanks for the response.  I think Thomas Distrubuting sells them for about the same price.  I was told to get the new version from what I have read on internet.  There must be some difference between the two, like more recharge cycles.  Will have to figure out what to do with all of these batteries that I have that need to be junked.  Hopefully find a recycling place for them.  Don't want to toss them into the regular trash.

Tony, when are you and Sherri going diving with Ginnie and I? (We have a cool trip scheduled for Jan/Feb next year)

I have eneloops. I also have a high power charger that charges eneloops in less than an hour. My battery problem is solved. It doesn't seem like my Z-240s ever run out of power. I don't know about the other brand buy I know you won't go wrong with eneloops.

I've been using the Imedion low discharge batteries for several years now and have never had a problem.
