Digital camera reviews of Rayovac I-C3 15 Minute Rechargeable Batteries, AA , 4 batteries
Digital camera Review: Rayovac I-C3 15 Minute Rechargeable Batteries work great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Vendor was prompt in shipping. Batteries were charged as advertised for 15 minutes and put to use. I was surprised at how long they hold their charge. They do get very warm to the touch when charging but the charger seems to recognize that they are the 15 minute batteries and turns on a cooling fan to compensate. I ordered 8 of these and am happy I did as they serve a variety of purposes with great reliability.Digital camera Review: Rayovac I-C3 awesome product!
Summary: 5 Stars

You will not be disappointed!
Summary: 5 Stars
These really live up to they hype--15 minute charge, awesome battery life, and great value (see my review of the I-C3 chargers for more details).
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
With one fully charged pair of these AA batteries, I was able to take over 270 (non-flash) photos with my 2.1 Megapixel Vivitar digita camera.
The performance of these batteries has been so great, I've bought additional I-C3 rechargables for every other AA and AAA device in the house, from remote controls and rotary tooth brushes to the kids' toys and my FRS/GSM radios. I've even bought a second charger (the two-slot model with the built-in power supply) to take with me when I travel. You will not be disappointed!
Digital camera Review: Still charging!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these batteries and charger a few years back. They are still charging, while the Energizers that I got about a little after no longer would hold charge for more than a day or two. I used them mostly for wireless mouse, wii remote, camera, etc. Too bad Rayovac no longer makes them and retailers that still have them in stock are jacking up the price. Otherwise I would have bought more. Going to try my luck with the new hybrids.Digital camera Review: Super fast. Everything I would expect it to be.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a set of these batteries just for general use - a Game Boy here or a portable cd player there. They work great, especially in the Game Boy. After a couple of weeks of regular use, I decided to recharge the batteries in preparation for a lengthy trip, even though the Game Boy's power light hadn't yet switched from green to red (indicating approx. 10% charge remaining in the batteries). In regular portable devices, these batteries have faithfully supplied around 15 hours of life - what one would expect out of ordinary alkaline batteries.
My dad got a digital camera awhile back and I bought him a set of the Rayovacs with a charger so he could keep taking pictures. The batteries don't hold up as well in the camera, but like I said before, they're very comparable to standard alkalines, which would also lose charge quickly in a digital camera. Fortunately, he now has 3 pairs of AA's, so as long as he keeps them all freshly charged, he shouldn't have to worry about being stuck without power.
I ran a few tests with the Rayovac i-C3's, and here are some of my results:
2 AA's in Game Boy Advance: approx. 15+ hours
2 AA's in portable cd player: approx. 15+ hours
2 AA's in digital camera (pictures): 30 minutes (give or take - either way, it's still plenty of time to recharge a spare set)
2 AA's in digital camera (video): approx. 5 minutes
6 AA's in Sega Game Gear: approx. 5 hours (a power-hungry machine!)
Word of advice: if you use these batteries, remove them from any device you don't plan on using for awhile, as their power seems to be drained proportionally to the amount of energy the device consumes, even when it's off. For instance, my dad charged a pair of the i-C3's, put them in his camera (turned off), then put it away. Only 3 or 4 days later, the batteries had no charge. On the other hand, I hardly notice any loss in charge from the batteries in my Game Boy after a week.
