I got 4 x N cells NIMH around 400ish mAh I think was the power rating. I got them at Radio Shack (Now called The Source) in Canada for about $5.00 for two if memory serves me right on that price. I use a Isun battery charger which can charge 10 cells at once and the springs on the charger allow me to charge the smaller N cells. I picked up a package of N to AA adaptors a few years ago at the RatShack (RadioShack) for around $1.99 CDN and came I think 4 in a pack. That is good if you want to charge them in a AA/AAA charger that can't take N size demensions.
So far the RatShack cells hold thier power quite well and store well. I just top up the charge once a month. I don't really have any use for mine right now as I got them for modding a 2xAA maglite to LED a while ago but lose my maglite mod. >_<;;
