Batteries

I find it very helpful to standardize on one type of battery. My personal choice is AA batteries. The most difficult problem I found with only using AA batteries is with LED headlamps, 99% of them seem to run only on AAA batteries. Keep looking though as they do exist. Although I don't own one (yet) I would look into the Fenix HP10, it takes AA's.

The advantage of standardizing on one battery type is you can use and borrow batteries from any of your devices to power another device. For example, if you did NOT standardize it would be possible to have 200 D batteries in the closet, but be sitting in the dark because your LED lantern takes AA batteries.
