Digital camera reviews of Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500

Digital camera Review: Not a good choice for a camera flash
Summary: 2 Stars

These are absolute garbage for photography. I read the user reviews about the long shelf like and liked the high capacity rating, but my experience has been the opposite in the 3 months or so I've had them. It seems like they can't hold a charge for even a week, after an overnight charge. I bought them for use in a Canon 430EX II Speedlite and often times find that my flash is useless because the batteries are dead. I'll try the Sanyo Eneloops of Panasonics next time.

Digital camera Review: Only One Redeeming Point - The Packaging
Summary: 1 Stars

Writing good reviews is always a joy because you affirm to yourself that you made the correct decision. -- This won't be one of those --.

Before you add these batteries to your cart, think about all the other low reviews on this product, then please move on.

I purchased these batteries for a variety of purposes and so far six out of the eight batteries have failed to charge on the first try or failed to hold a charge more than 4 days (probably more than 90% depleted since I was only able to take two photos. For you techies, you are probably thinking, "Its your charger". I understand your point as I've tried two chargers, my ole reliable MAHA MH-C401FS that has successfully charged my other PowerEx, Sanyo, and and Sony HiMH batteries. On one new set of these Duracell's I tried my Sony charger that came with the Camera and it took fully four more hours to charge the Duracell's (My two year old Sony 2500 MaHr batteries were my measuring stick) but these Duracells were found to be depleted three days later when I dropped them into a radio (BTW: I also noticed this same charging pattern on these cells in my MAHA charger.) My perception of these batteries is that there are much better ones to purchase. It was surprising that I had so many defectives. Other purchasers must have had identical problems. Save yourself a few bucks in this economy and look further.

Oh, and the the two unused cells that I have left, they're stored away awaiting to disappoint me in the future and the one redeeming point being the packaging, my cat loved to play with it.


Digital camera Review: Poor performance
Summary: 1 Stars

I own 5 brands of NiMh batteries and these were big disappointments. Two seperate sets of 4 AA batteries held very short charges, wore out very quickly, and at least 2 are dead after only a few uses. Duracell alkaline may be amongst the best, but do not buy these. So far my Sanyo have been the highest performers. I use them in everything from cameras, flashes, flashlights, radios... they just are poor in all applications. Others include Eveready, Rayovac, RadioShack, Sanyo. Sanyo eneloop rocks!

Digital camera Review: Rechargable Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars

The battereries are very good and I was amazed that I received the order the following day from my order date.

Digital camera Review: Rechargable Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars

Duracell rechargable were a great investment.
Christmas gets to be expensive because of the cost of all the disposable batteries.
