Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500
Customer Review: My memory: Long, Duracell's memory: Short
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a semi-pro photographer with experience in the field and when it comes to trust, these batteries don't have mine.
I've always liked regular Duracell batteries better than any other but after a few months of regular use, my 2650mAh with 15min quick charger haven't held up. After a full charge, I can expect to get a solid run out of them (250 photos, 1/4 of them with flash) from my Canon A710IS, but leave those batteries sitting in the camera for a few days??? I fully expect them to be dead. I agree with the other 1 star reviewers. Too bad. I won't give up on Duracell though. I'll just be patient, though I have heard good things about Sanyo's Eneloop batteries.
Customer Review: Batteries and charger are just plain awful.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these batteries about 2 years ago along with the "Duracell Rechargeable ACCU 15 Minute Charger" that the batteries came with. They claim to last hundreds of charges before being depleted. Within 6 months, one by one each battery either A) would die in a few hours (I'm using them for my Xbox 360 controllers) or B) Won't recharge at all anymore on the docking station. Now I'm down to my final 2 that will even recharge and I basically have to recharge them once every 3-4 days. And I don't even play my video games that much! I'd say about 5-6 hours a week.
I'm shocked Duracell, such a long lasting, reliable company, would make such a shoddy product.
Customer Review: Won't hold a charge!
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought 8 of these Duracell 2650 mAh rechargeables right before my 2-week archaeological expedition to a remote desert in Peru, because they were supposed to last so long in my digital camera. Wow, did it *suck* that not a one of them held their charge! These batteries are worse than useless - they almost caused me to miss my photo-ops for this whole trip!
Good thing I'd also brought along a pack of Energizer Lithium batteries, because they seriously kicked *ss, and even lasted much longer than I'd expected (way over 600 pictures per set)!
Never trusting Duracells again!
(wish I could give zero- or negative-stars in the rating!)
Customer Review: My 2650mah batteries all went bad
Summary: 1 Stars
All of my Duracell 2650mah batteries have gone bad.
I have other Duracell batteries I bought before I got the 2650's and they are still going strong. I use a high quality charger so it's a problem with the batteries for sure.
If you buy these batteries, make sure you have a long warranty and a good return policy!
The only batteries I buy now are eneloop AA and AAA since they their charge for a much longer time than any other battery I have found. I have to charge my Duracells the night before I use them, the eneloops I can charge the month before and the eneloops are still fully charged! The duracells lose their charge quickly.
Customer Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used alkaline Duracell batteries for years and have always been satisfied with their quality. Recently I purchased a number of these rechargeable NiMH batteries and have been sadly disappointed. They won't hold a charge! The only way that I have found them usable at all is to take them from the charger and use them right away - otherwise they are dead before they get started. Sorry, Duracell, but you have really hurt yourself - and your faithful customers - with this poor product. Even though I have a number of these and they have been used almost not at all I will likely toss them out and buy some other brand that will work when I need them.
