What are the best rechargeable batteries on the market? And where can I buy them and a charger at a reasonable price?

Specifically, I'm looking for D cell batteries. However, if I can find a charger that can charge C, AA and AAA sized batteries, I would buy some of those too.

Batteries that are nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) are the best rechargeable batteries. They do not suffer from the "memory effect", which prevents a battery from being able to hold a true full-charge if it is recharged frequently and/or without being fully discharged. Please see the link in the sources list below for full descriptions (the first site also provides links on where to purchase the batteries and chargers).

I like the Duracell Rechargeable batteries, I use them for my Digital Voice Recorder and they last along time.

You can also get the energizer ones but I find the Duracell rechargeables last longer per charge.
