Digital camera reviews of Rayovac 4.0 Rechargable "AAA" Batteries, 4-Pack
Digital camera Review: Close enough to Eneloop quality, certainly for the price.. a "no-brainer" purchase recommendation.
Summary: 4 Stars
In my couple months with these batteries (and some previously purchased double A's of this same brand/version), based upon my anecdotal experiences so far, these are nearly as good and perhaps just as good as the well-respected Eneloop batteries (known for their white cover or jacket).
I've used about a half dozen various brand rechargeable batteries over the last few years, and these rank in the top two, neck and neck with the Eneloops in terms of charging consistency and perceived performance.
These Rayovac's were purchased from Adorama via Amazon. The one negative about Adorama is that you stand a good chance of getting batteries from late 2008 or early 2009. I'm not sure how much new/unused but older manufactured rechargeable effects the batteries longer term viability, but it's worth pointing out. Even factoring in the age, given that I was able to purchase my few batches of Rayovac 4.0's for less than half of what you typically pay for Eneloops, it's remains an excellent buy no matter what.
On a side note, as good of a battery this is, the packaging is atrocious from the standpoint of communicating to the consumer that these are rechargable batteries. It makes me ill to think of all the impulse consumers who find these in stores and think they are a one time use battery and simply toss them in the trash when through. Rayovac really dropped the ball on this aspect. For this reason and the age of the battery provided via the Adorama seller, I marked the score down by one star.
Summary of Rayovac 4.0 Rechargable "AAA" Batteries, 4-Pack
In case you don't already know, they are LSD (low-self-discharge). It means they can hold charge 75~80% of it over a year. They also have higher recharge number of cyclesCategories
