Digital camera reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - 4 Pack
Digital camera Review: 1.2V not 1.5V, conveniently not mentioned in product info
Summary: 1 Stars
Most people assume all AA batteries are 1.5V. They should be as that's what 99.999% of products require. I have no idea what 1.2V batteries are made for but now understand why these are sold so cheap. The Sony AA rechargeables are also 1.2V. Amazon is deliberately misleading their customers by not putting this information in the product description. I bought 16 of these for applications like xbox controllers. They work for about an hour before they need another charge. Money wasted. Buyer beware.Digital camera Review: 2000 mhA --- really
Summary: 5 Stars
I checked all the batteries (12) and the lowest tested at 1974 mhA. The highest was 2098. I have purchased 2700 mhA that would not perform that well.Digital camera Review: A battery is a battery, so what?

I mean, this isn't rocket science, is it? One AA battery should be about as good as any other AA battery, right? Wrong. Well, at least they should be in the same ballpark, no? No. It's amazing how little I know about batteries, but luckily NLee the Engineer knows just about everything about them, so if you want to read only one review, skip mine and go directly to his.
So why did I buy these fairly expensive 2,000mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries? Because I read NLee's review. I also wanted to replace the 24 (yes, 24) 600mAh NiCad batteries that came with a 12-set solar lighting system for my walkway. Being the great genius I am, I quickly deduced that I should get almost 3-1/2 times more lighting usage out of the 2,000mAh batteries than I would the 600mAh batteries that came with the solar lights. The 600mAh batteries couldn't keep these solar lights on long enough after a few nights of use. This has to do with the solar cell not collecting enough light during the day (short day, it being winter time at the time of this review) to charge these batteries enough to run all night long. For once, I was right (although I'm not sure if the mAh number is the only reason ... it may also be the difference between NiCad and NiMH). Actually, I got well over 4 times the usage. Now I find that quite startling. More than that, it dumbfounded me. I don't think I'll look at batteries quite the same way any longer.
So how do I rate these batteries. This is pretty simple. They are so far superior to the other batteries I had (yeah, those were really cheap ones), that I give the Sanyo batteries a 9 out of 10 or a 5-star rating (I'm far too ignorant about batteries to give it 10 out of 10). How would these batteries compare to other NiMH batteries with identical mAh rating? Sorry, I don't have a clue. All I know is that these have performed even better than I thought they would.
There is one other thing that baffles me, and that is the price of the 4-pack versus the price of the 8-pack. I required 24 batteries, so the cost of getting 6, 4-packs were $55.14, while the price of 3, 8-packs would be $59.97. Since it would no doubt cost less (another ingenious deduction on my part) to pack 3-sets, than it would to pack 6 sets, one would think the 8-pack would be cheaper. Wrong again. So forgo the 8-pack and get the 4-pack. Of course price is always subject to change, so make sure you confirm this before purchasing.
Digital camera Review: A battery that is ready when I am
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using rechargeable NiMH batteries since getting my current Canon camera that uses AA batteries. I always had a spare set of Alkaline batteries so that if I needed to take a picture without knowing in advance I would have working batteries. Since getting the Eneloops, I have not had to use spare batteries. The camera has always been available for use. I recentl bought a second set of 4 Eneloops that I keep as spares in case I run out of power from usage.Digital camera Review: A good buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent batteries! They work much better than most others I have tried. I am very happy with them.
