Customer Review: Duracell 2650mAH AA batteries - OK
Summary: 4 Stars

Hi,
I recently took
Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500
and I am feeling ok with it...

We went for a trip recently and with my
Canon S5 IS camera...I am able to take (using 4 AA batteries) around 200 pictures.
I expected more because it is 2650mAh, but I would say its fairly OK
because the images are taken with a higher resolution (3264 X 1832) with a size
of around 1.89 MB.

So..I took two sets (8AA ) of the batteries...here.
so, when one is empty after 200 pics, I had an option to use the other one immediaetly....

Customer Review: Will not charge past 1,000 mAH.
Summary: 1 Stars

Purchased 3 packs of these. Mine are labeled made in Japan. Read somewhere some are marked make in China?
These are the worst batteries I have ever purchased. I tried 2 different charges. Just purchased a La Crosse Technology BC-700 from here thinking that would help. It can't charge them past 1,000 mAH. It is not the charger.

Update.. wanted to post that I told the charger to discharge the cells first, than charge. When that failed, I told it to condition it, i.e. discharge, charge, until some change, 3 days of this. This didn't work. Will not hold a charge, will not take the full charge.

Customer Review: 2650mAh Overheated and hissed while it sat on my desk
Summary: 1 Stars

5/28/10

While sitting at my desk I heard a hissing sound and found the Duracell leaking a gas. I wrapped it up in a sock and threw it outside. The battery was very hot.I've had the Duracells for under a year and These batteries never really held a charge for long but was good enough for the convenience. I emailed Duracell today to see what they want to do about the faulty battery. I have 12 AA and 4AAA.

6/4/10 Duracell has yet to contact me. The problem has been reported to them so if someone gets injured by their batteries they have failed to follow up on a potential problem.

Customer Review: Worst NiMH Batteries I've Ever Purchased
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm a big believer in rechargeable batteries and have purchased many brands. I've never had such bad luck as with Duracel NiMHs. After 2 of the first 4 batteries that I tried wouldn't hold a charge at all, I contacted Duracell, who sent me a replacement pack. I had better luck with the replacements, but I can still count on these to last half the time of any of my other NiMHs. I've tried refreshing these batteries with my La Crosse BC-900, but that didn't improve the discharge rate.

After trying a couple packages of Sanyo Eneloops, I'm hooked - that's all I'll be buying in the future!

Customer Review: WORKS WELL, SAVES LOTS OF MONEY
Summary: 5 Stars

I own about 2 packs of these batteries. They are wonderful. I have saved a lot of money by investing in these batteries. Why pay $4.00 to $5.00 for one pack of batteries that get used once and thrown away when you can purchase these and reuse them 1000 times. It is true that they don't quite have the power of normal duracell alkaline batteries so they might be an issue for certain things that use a lot of power. For example Digital Camera's take a lot of power. But for the most part these work really well and I have used them for 3 - 4 years now. I highly recommend them to everyone.
