Digital camera reviews of DigiPower DPS-3000+ 3-Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries and Car Charger
Digital camera Review: It won't happen to me...
Summary: 1 Stars
That's what I thought when I read the review about the batteries not charging, where the charge light came on for about 15 minutes before turning off again and the batteries never charged. That's almost exactly what happened to me, though. I say 'almost', because after the first time, the lights never came on again...not the red light nor the green.
To be honest, I expect it could have had something to do with using a voltage converter while in another country, but one would hope that the manufacturer had allowed for such bizarre occurences as one leaving the United States and wanting to charge batteries while abroad for more than a week.
One upside of this is that I can still use the batteries themselves so long as I get them charged in another charger. In fact, these batteries have lasted longer on their first charge than the batteries that came with my camera. If I could give a separate review of the batteries, I'd give them 5 stars, but the charger will remain the subject of any new invective I can dream up for the next few weeks. Buyer beware!
Digital camera Review: It's working just fine.
Summary: 3 Stars
Looking over the reviews for this product makes one believe that two different products were reviewed, one that worked fine and another that was terrible. I am having none of the problems from the negative reviews. My batteries are charging fine and there is no overheating. My guess is the problems came from an earlier version of the product.
4-12-2010 - Still working fine. I bought two more sets.
6-14-2010 - About the life of the batteries. I found that the batteries are lasting only about 3 hours of use in a point and shoot camera (with the camera set to use this type of battery). Initially they lasted long enough that I didn't notice the life of the charge, but with a fresh charge I get an afternoon of shots before I get a low battery warning. These batteries are about six months old.
Digital camera Review: Junk, Junk, Junk!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Sounded like a good deal, bought it, did not charge batteries at all. Returned it for a replacement, second one did not work either. Maybe the batteries were no good, maybe the charger - who knows but...do not buy it, go to RadioShack, their re-charger worked as promised.Digital camera Review: Just What I Need!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always need AA batteries and never have any. This is perfect. The Batteries last longer than the originals. They are perfect for when the TV remote runs out of battery or when the kids video game controlers do.Digital camera Review: Lasted Nine Months
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit with a new camera in 11-06 and nine months later, it's now dead. Since there's no moving parts, it obviously is not well-made.
