Customer Review: garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these batteries a while ago, but since I've bought some replacements, i realize just how crappy these duracell batteries are. Like another reviewer stated, they don't hold a charge. he said more that 2 weeks, when mine were freshly delivered, they didn't last more than 3 days in a wireless mighty mouse. A mouse. These Sony cycleEnergy ones and the other Sony's prior to it have been awesome. They work fine in rockband wireless devices, and I've been trying to drain them so I can to a recharge, but it's taking a while. It lost 8% charge in 2 weeks in my might mouse. I think I'll probably go back to them. I was wooed by the great looking ratings on the duracells, but if they don't keep the charge, the number don't matter. ps, these were made in japan, with a blue top visible.Customer Review: Worst Rechargeable Battery Purchase Thus Far
Summary: 1 Stars
After my Energizer and Sanyo rechargeable AAs were confiscated at the airport in Paris, I was forced to replace them. Both the Energizer and the Sanyo 2700s worked beautifully, held a charge for months and powered my camera flash reliably. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for these Duracells. This is a good example of how name brand may not always be the best. These batteries discharge very rapidly (within days if unused). I constantly have to recharge them and 2 sets are not enough for my needs- I previously never needed to take my charger with me on vacations of up to two weeks, but if I were to rely on 2 sets of these batteries, I would need to bring the charger for a weekend jaunt with scant flash photography. Don't spend your hard earned money on these batteries!Customer Review: 16 of 16 won't hold a charge longer than a week
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased 16 of these pieces of junk (green top, no gold) about 18 months ago, and every single one can't hold a charge longer than about a week or ten days. They seem to work more or less OK if you just need batteries that work for a day or two, but it's an absolute must to leave them in the charge up until the moment they're needed. Stay away if you can.
*Edit:
To Duracell's credit, when I complained in their comment section of the website, they sent me coupons for replacement rechargeables, which I used to buy some of the "precharged" (low self-discharge) ones. I still say to be careful about these, but Duracell stepped up and if you get stuck with a bad batch like I did, you might have similar results.
Customer Review: Duracell NiMH cells are hit and miss, at best
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been buying rechargeable AA batteries since the days of NiCd cells. I have purchased many brands, including Energizer, Maha Powerex, Kodak, Sanyo Eneloops, and Duracell. All degrade slowly over time -- except some Duracells, which are prone to sudden and irreversible failure. I charge with Maha chargers, including the MH-C9000 which can also recondition and analyze. Several years ago, I bought ~20 of these Duracells. Fully half of them no longer hold a charge.
I have many Energizer, Powerex, and Kodak cells that hold nearly their rated capacity for far longer than two years. To have 50% of the Duracells fail in this timeframe has convinced me to never buy a Duracell NiMH battery again. Ever.
Customer Review: Discharge without use within a few days
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these batteries as replacements for a set of NiMH batteries I had bought a few years ago at Radio Shack which had finally reached end of life. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the batteries I had just retired held a charge longer than these! I cannot understand why any company would manufacture a product as worthless as this. I first thought that my digital camera had developed a defect which caused the batteries to drain within only 3-5 days. However, the same effect occurs in other devices or even if I just store them. I was impressed by the claimed capacity of 2650 mAh but what good is that capacity if you have to use it all within a few days? Don't waste your money on these!
