For me, the extra baggage and time for chargers is a nuisance also. Perhaps the latest generation of Li ion rechargeables are enough of an improvement to merit reconsideration. I can do automobile recharge when on vacation outings or photo safaris in the boondocks. I have "airline adapters" but I've never been on a plane that had the power outlets. Northworst once told me that only some planes have the outlets, it's by sheer coincidence, reservations never knows, and they have no plan to equip more. I got even less help from another airline. Is your experience different? Chuck
