What are the best AA Rechargeable Lithium Batteries for Blink Cameras?

I'm looking at buying some rechargeable AA batteries (lithium ion)

Does anyone recommend any?

    Lithium-ion rechargables are often compromised as AA batteries because they're 3.2V/3.7V native so they have to make space for voltage conversion and charging circuitry for AA use (0.9V-1.5V) instead of packing the whole tube full of energy storage like NiMH.

    Given they're also awkward to deal with, usually requiring special chargers or one USB lead per battery, they're generally best avoided unless you have something that likes their particular characteristics (usually more directly driven electrical devices rather than electronics that are doing internal voltage shifts).

    I considered this also but couldn't be bothered with the hassle of taking cameras down to replace etc. So I fitted the solar panels for the cameras. They have a rechargeable battery built in.
