Digital camera reviews of Sanyo 277265 Eneloop Power Pack with Battery Charger, 8 AA & 2 AAA Batteries Plus 4 C & 4 D Size Adapter (CostCo Kit #2)
Digital camera Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading so much hype on these batteries and charger, I bought the whole unit. Well, after using it for many months, I have a firm opinion: it's garbage. The problems are multiple. I have only used the AA batteries - but they don't seem to be holding their charge very well. I use them in a bluetooth mouse and keyboard (Apple), and frankly, they discharge way too fast. OK, I understand that they can't compare to regular non-rechargeable AA batteries, but they last only about 1/10th the length of time - 2 weeks or so, instead of the many months I got from regular AAs. But it gets worse. The charger is a disaster. It takes many hours - like 10-12 hours to charge 2 AA batteries. And it gets worse yet - it is extremely flaky, so for example, I can't charge 4 AA batteries at once any more - I used to be able to. Now, I can charge 2 AAs (at the usual sloooow rate of 8-10 hours), but if I put in 4, well, only 2 will charge. From my experience, I would avoid this product.Digital camera Review: Good Batteries- Charge Quickly
Summary: 4 Stars
Now I don't have to feel guilty about going though batteries with my MP3 player speakers and my camera. This set is a good buy and they charged up quickly with no problem.Digital camera Review: Good Price@Amazon

For what you get it's a good price and the batteries do last longer, just be aware that you are only getting 8 AA and 2 AAA. The other objects in the picture are only spacersDigital camera Review: Good batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the Eneloop batteries in the past and find them to work very well. Package came as described. You can sometimes find them at Costco for a bit cheaper, but they are getting harder to find now. I haven't tried the C and D sized spacers, but the charger and batteries work great.Digital camera Review: Good deal even if you don't need the adapters
Summary: 5 Stars
These adapters are great for flashlights, radios and the like. I didn't really need the C adapters, but for the price I was not going to purchase 2 of the SANYO SEC-NCSTG-D2AA ENELOOP SPACER PACKS (INCLUDES 2 AA WITH 2 D-SIZE SPACERS) when I could get this set for $28.
Even if you don't need the adapters its a good deal. 8 AAs alone would cost you in the neighborhood of $22: Sanyo Eneloop 8 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries
If you can buy this set for under $30 it's a pretty good deal considering the adapters and 8 AAs would cost (if purchased separately) $40 or more. Plus you get 2 AAAs and a mediocre charger.
Highly recomended!
