Digital camera reviews of Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500
Digital camera Review: Discharge without use within a few days
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these batteries as replacements for a set of NiMH batteries I had bought a few years ago at Radio Shack which had finally reached end of life. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the batteries I had just retired held a charge longer than these! I cannot understand why any company would manufacture a product as worthless as this. I first thought that my digital camera had developed a defect which caused the batteries to drain within only 3-5 days. However, the same effect occurs in other devices or even if I just store them. I was impressed by the claimed capacity of 2650 mAh but what good is that capacity if you have to use it all within a few days? Don't waste your money on these!Digital camera Review: Do not hold charge for long time
Summary: 3 Stars
Expected better charge hold from Duracells. Once charged - work fine, but after month of not in use almost loose all charge. Copper top ones are much-much better.Digital camera Review: Don't even think about buying these pieces of junk

I have 16 of these batteries.... thought at first my chargers were bad. So I bought new ones thinking maybe the high capacity was too much for my other charges. Batteries say charged but don't power up my camera. test w/ alkalines camara works.
So I go and buy the maha charger, do a full capactiy charge/discharge/recharge to ensure batteries are good. Maha charger fully charges, says ready to go. Plug the batteries in dead, camera beeps and off.
So I then do a slow charge, float charge.... same deal.
batteries are beep-off in the camera. Take some of my older 2100mah batteries they work like a champ.
Worst money I ever spent, imagine you are ready to take pictures and have these "new great" batteries... you are screwed.
Now to figure out how to get them replaced and make duracell live up to their warranty.
Just heed the advice of others, don't waste a minute or penny! These were a waste of resources and shame on duracell for not recalling them.
I just called their "help desk" they informed me that they will replace the batteries with a coupon in 2-3 weeks. I explained the quantity, they would just say I would get a coupon to replace "most" of the batteries. Reinforcing why you should stay clear. My lower capacity 2400's work fine but the 2650's are a waste of our resources and duracell needs to get these off the market. 16 bad batteries does not happen by chance.
The other trivial thing, I own a professional battery charger by maha and it's one of the best rated out there... they believe I should use their cheap 20 dollar charger only since my charger might not work. I'm sure they are just reading off a flowchart. They even asked me what device types I've used them in, what types of other things did I try them in. We'll see what "most of my replacement coupon will be". My hunch is it's going to be less than what I have bought. Did I say RUN AWAY FROM THIS CRAP BATTERY??? Amazon needs to take this product off the site since it's not doing their reputation any good.
Digital camera Review: Don't last through many recharge cycles
Summary: 2 Stars
These batteries are not very good at all. Even when used with a good charger, they simply don't have a very long life. I use them in a Canon digital camera, and after one or two shots, they start taking longer and longer to recharge the flash. Now, I take them right off the charger, the camera flashes the "low battery" sign, and they take 10-15 seconds just to charge the flash. The batteries that came with the charger (a La Crosse) last longer per charge and haven't worn out like these have. I'll never buy Duracell rechargeables again.Digital camera Review: Don't listen to the haters!

Look, I got a couple of these batteries used which came with an xbox 360 controller I bought somewhere.
They work much better than the energizer batteries I got, and those I got new.
Be sure though to buy the exact kind of battery with this green and black or the newest kind that come with the 15 minute charger.
Duracell has worked far far better than energizer. For example, with these used duracell batteries I got, I recharged them and placed them in a portable DV camera. The camera sat there for 3 o 4 months with the batteries inside.
When I finally got to use it again, I thought the batteries would give out soon enough before I could record any significant audio or video footage.
To my surprise, and it was a surprise as I didn't even remember having them until I open the camera's battery compartment, they recorded a full more than an hour long audio conversation, and several videos. They have not given out yet.
The rechargeable Energizer ones, I placed FULLY CHARGED in my rock band drums set, played for a couple of hours a video game, then after three days of the drums sitting there doing nothing, the thing would not even turn on. Faulty equipment? No, faulty batteries which still get going draining themselves long after you've finished using them; oh, let me add draining themselves at a significantly high rate these Energizer things.
:)
Go with duracell, guys. In my experience, these specific ones or the new kind which come with the 15 minture charger work great!
