NSB vs XS power batteries

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

so from what i'm hearing, xs is better for daily and nsb's are better for burp. but why is this? i'm trying to get some batteries for a mostly daily setup, and would get the d3100s but everyone says the nsb 90, 100 or 170 is much better and theyre much better priced. I can geet a nsb 170 for the same price as a 3100 and a 100 for 100 bucks cheaper so i'd rather go with them unless they really dont work well daily.

i've also heard that the nsb's need a little maintenance. does this just mean you need to throw them on a charger once a week or so?

NSB's used to be cheap, cause they are telecom batteries. They have a great discharge rate. But because stereo guys were buying them up fast, they realised what was going on, and jumped the price a lot.

They can be used as a daily battery, but they don't take vibration as well as an XS will.

I figure if it puts up the numbers it's rated for, it's good enough.

I realize my view-point is as it is due mostly to my ignorance, but I have no motivation to fix that.
