    I use Ansmann 2850 mAh batteries in my Garmin Oregon. They take a couple of charge / discharge cycles before they reach full capacity but when they do they'll last all day no problem.

    It's also important to have a good quality charger that has independent charging circuits for each battery rather than cheaper ones that charge 2 batteries in series.

    Second Eneloops, but I'd get the black 2500 mAh ones. They seem to retain charge far longer than other rechargeables I've used.
