AAA 1.6V batteries for pointer?

These are the best AAA size batteries I've ever used:
Sanyo 1000mah AAA 2-pack NiMH Batteries

4-packs are available at other stores.

Sanyo Eneloops are nice but are designed for long shelf life. Unless you plan to let your batteries sit around unused for long periods of time, there is really not much point in choosing Eneloops over Sanyo's higher current capacity NiMH batteries.

Fully charged, mine measure 1.45V. They last a looong time in all the lasers I've used them in- DIY and otherwise (>400mW 445nm, >400mW 405nm, 350mW 650nm, 175mW 532nm, and lower power 532nm).

Aye, except I was under the impression that charger is fitted to accept AA and now AAA size.
 
Ahh, whoops, I forgot that we are on the subject of AAA cells, yes that offer does not explicitly say that it can handle both AA and AAA. I searched more on the sellers offerings and found/stopped at the first combo that does say will handle both types, whether this is the best offering he has I do not know as I had stopped.

24 Rechargeable AA/AAA Alkaline Batteries & 2 Chargers
"This charger charges both AA and AAA in rechargeable alkaline only. Please note, normal NIMH chargers will ruin these batteries. These batteries must be charged in the charger that comes with auction, our multi charger that looks like a blue egg or the Rayovac multi charger."
 
Ah, thanks! Yeah I didn't see that as I searched with -aa as a term so AA stuff wouldn't pop up. Those appear to be the same chargers at least on the outside... interesting! Can anyone confirm, Rhd maybe?
