Digital camera reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - 8 Pack
Digital camera Review: Amazing little batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sanyo eneloop AA batteries I bought to go with my Tekkeon TekCharge Mobile Power and Battery Charger purchase have been wonderful. They did arrive fully charged, dumped out a high current discharge when I needed it to power up an iPod Touch and then an android phone that was about to die, and then charged up amazingly fast.
Best rechargables this computer geek has ever used.
Digital camera Review: Amazon not Cheap
Summary: 5 Stars
You can get 8 AA's, 4 AAA's and the charger at Costco for 25.99. I already have a kit and was just looking for the batteries. Unfortunately, if I buy the 8 AA's and 4 AAA's separately in Amazon, it would cost 29.00. Go figure.Digital camera Review: Amazon ships open-box merchandise without first disclosing (acceptable resolution)

These batteries arrived with the plastic already cut open. Repack and open electronics are ALWAYS a bad idea when not advertised as such--even batteries--because there's no way to tell how they were used or possibly abused. Now I have to go through the bother of returning them and asking for a replacement. This is NOT the kind of seller behavior that encourages repeat business.
Added in edit: Amazon is being most gracious in accepting the return, "First, please allow me to express my sincere apologies for any frustration that has been caused. It is certainly not our intention for our customers to have anything but a pleasant experience at our store. Please be assured that we are here to make things easier for you. We will take each and every action to prevent you from bearing any loss. I've placed a new order for the item. There's no charge for this replacement. Here are the details of the new order: [replacement to be sent with free one day shipping; I have 30 days to return original order under their shipping label]"
My original thought was that I would never again order a similar item through Amazon, but their acknowledgment of their error allows me to wipe the slate clean.
Digital camera Review: Amoung the best rechargable batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
The best I've used.
They do keep most of their charge for a long time, which is key when you don't want to recharge your store of batteries every week.
Digital camera Review: Available cheaper elsewhere on Amazon

I have no doubt that these batteries are top-notch - after reading reviews I've ordered some eneloops for myself. But there's no obvious reason to buy this 8-pack for $61 ($50 + $11 shipping!) as of this writing, when the 4-pack is only $10 and eligible for free super-saver shipping from Amazon: GE/SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries.
Updated 3/9/08: This is insane. Since my original comment, the price to purchase this set of eight batteries has been jacked up to $76.94 ($64.99 + $11.95 shipping). Meanwhile, a set of four of the same batteries GE/SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries remains $9.76 with free super-saver shipping available.
