Digital camera Review: A Great Rechargeable Battery Kit for anyone to own
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a fan of rechargeable batteries... every since I was a kid. It just seemed like a great idea which saves money, waste, and time. Old rechargeable battery technology suffered from a myriad of problems including the "memory effect", few recharge cycles, and fast battery depletion (even while not in use). The great thing is that all of these issues have since been addressed. I'm not saying that they're 100 percent fixed... but rather that they are no longer big issues. These new Eneloop batteries use "hybrid" rechargeable technology, which means that they will not drain like older rechargeable batteries do. The regular Nimh batteries drain quickly... even when they are just sitting around in a drawer. These Eneloop batteries have a very slow drain rate, so that even if they're sitting around within a whole year, they're still about 80% to 90% charged. Here are some pros and cons about this battery bundle:
Pros:
-Great Value for this amount of batteries, adapters, and charger.
-These batteries are among the best modern rechargeable batteries money can buy... quality wise.
-Charger takes AA and AAA batteries.
Cons:
-The charger will only charge batteries in pairs. Some chargers let you charge single individual batteries.
Conclusion:
This is a great kit to have for anybody who uses lots of batteries. The Battery Charger will charge any type of Nimh rechargeable battery , including batteries from other brands. Using rechargeable batteries is a great way to start "Going Green", and each battery can be recharged about a 1000 times. Just imagine how much less waste there would be if everyone used rechargeables instead of disposable one-time use batteries.
Digital camera Review: A must have for parents!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been looking for rechargeable batteries for a while now and after reading all of the reviews for these and all of the other brands of rechargeable batteries, I decided on these. They have a great variety of batteries in one package that no one else offers. I have 3 kids and lots of electronics and toys that eat batteries like crazy and I was sick of throwing away money on batteries all the time. These batteries take about 7 hours to fully charge. The charger blinks when the batteries are charging and stop blinking to let you know when they are charged which is nice. I have a newborn swing that requires D batteries and what I think is the collest thing about this package is that all you do is take one AA battery and stick it in the included adapters and it becomes a "D" battery! This package does not include any D or C batteries so don't get confused! It just includes the adapters that you stick charged AA batteries in. The only thing about using a AA battery for this is that they don't last as long, I have to change them every 2 days for my sons swing but it's much better than buying new batteries every few weeks. They are also great for my other sons leapster, Wii remotes, and other toys and electronics that require frequent battery changes. So stop throwing away money and go with these rechargeable batteries! GREAT BUYDigital camera Review: Annoying adapters

I was really disappointed that the C and D's were only adapters. Sure, my bad, but it certainly isn't called out. And, as another reviewer stated, you can only stick one AA in the adapter so they're really worthless.Digital camera Review: Astonishing!

I bought this battery/charger kit with the thought of using them in a new Canon digital camera (which uses a pair of AA batteries) on a 7 day trip to Paris. I figured that 4 pairs of charged batteries should last the trip. As it turns out 1 pair lasted the whole trip and took over 300 photos. I've also shown those photos many times (to several bored relatives) on the camera's LCD panel without refreshing the batteries. They have FAR exceeded my most optimistic hope.Digital camera Review: BEST Rechargeable battery on the market - period
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a gadget hound, and now that we have a Wii in the house, we go through a lot of batteries. I've tried quite a few different brands and types.
These are the best, longest lasting batteries I've every tried - ever. They last longer than alkalines in my Wii remotes. They also have a shelf life when charged, so you can store them after you charge them and they will still have a charge when it's time to use them.
I will never buy another type of rechargeable battery. These are great.
