Precharged NimH batteries

okay, someone has to start
I have fitted all* my transmitters with low self-discharge batteries, commonly sold as "precharged".
My first experience with them was when I devised the "4-cell mod" for the FlySky transmitters.
I find similar results with Sanyo Eneloop, Kodak precharged, and Duracell precharged. The transmitters now have over 10 hours operating time on a single charge, they all do retain charge for weeks if not months, and I do not need to recharge the night before flying as before.
On the receiver side, I have only used the Sanyo Eneloop, either 2100mAh or 800mAh, and am quite happy with them.
My Canon S3-IS and my wife's A720-IS are also very happy with the Eneloop and Kodak 2100's.
*On last count, this involves 12 transmitters, from Ace Pulse Commanders and Controlaire Galloping Ghost (remember these?) to Futaba 6EX 2.4GHz and Supertef
