Customer Review: Unknown battery or charger problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased a large number of AccuEvolution rechargeable D, AA and AAA batteries from RealGoods last year. Eight of the batteries I received were dead on arrival and they wouldn't charge in the AccuManager 20 charger, which I purchased at the same time. I sent those batteries back to RealGoods and received replacements. Over the next few months more batteries failed to charge on the same changer. I had over a 50% failure rate in the most expensive D batteries and they continue to fail. I had a fairly high rate of failures on the AA batteries, although no where near the failure rate of the D batteries. After three months RealGoods would no longer replace the batteries and they referred me to the manufacturer. The manufacturer agreed that my usage pattern should not have been the cause of the failures. I returned several of the D batteries to them and they stated that one of the batteries could not be charged and they had to wakeup the other two. In the mean time four additional batteries have failed to recharge (3 D batteries and 1 AA battery). I have also been using a lot of the Sanyo eneloop AA rechargeable batteries and I have had no failures so far on the same charger.
Followup:
Since I first reported this problem, I ordered 8 D batteries from Tenergy and I now appear to be having the same problem with the Tenergy batteries. Two of the first four I tried to charge would not charge, but after leaving them in the AccuManager20 charger for a couple of hours, one of the batteries started to charge. The AccuEveloution manufacturer sent 6 new D batteries on 10/22/2009 to replace the batteries that appear to be failing. After months of testing and rotating various batteries the problem appears to be more pronounced and the problem may be the charger. On 10/26/2009 a representative of the manufacturer offered to send a replacement charger to see if the charger is causing the problem. I will upgrade this review, if that turns out to be the case.
Description of AccuEvolution Low Self Discharge NiMH D Cells
The AccuEvolution ready-to-use rechargeable battery offers the advantages of both alkaline and NiMH cells without their disadvantages. Similar to NiMH rechargeable batteries AccuEvolution can be recharged up to 1000 times. But unlike NiMH batteries they keepmost of their capacity over time.AccuEvolution batteries outperform even top-notch NiMH batteries with higher initial capacity. While conventional rechargeable batteries loose 20% of their capacity every month, AccuEvolution looses only 2% of its capacity every month. After only 1 month the AccuEvolution 2200mAh AA cell offers more useable capacity than a more expensive, conventional NiMH 2700mAh AA battery. Meaning, for instance, that your flashlights will still shine bright even after months of storage.
