Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Energizer NH15BP-4 Rechargeable AA Battery 4 PackCustomer Review: great for a year, then not so great Summary: 4 Stars
I got these batteries just over a year ago, when I got my digital camera, a Sony CyberShot. For 6-8 months, they worked amazingly well, a charge lasted forever, and I didn't have to recharge often. then, for 2-3 months, they worked okay, but the charges were definitely not lasting as long. now, for the last two months, they are essentially dead - charges don't last, even when I don't use the camera, freshly charged batteries are dead after a day or so. it's kinda annoying. but when they were working, they worked great, and much cheaper than the number of alkalines I would have gone through, so I'll be buying another package of four to replace my old ones.
Customer Review: Does not hold a charge Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 8 of these, and they are utterly worthless for my needs. I'll charge the batteries for my digicam and GPS and they'll work fine that day. I used them 4 at a time in my camera and 2 at a time in my GPS. I did try switching them around to make sure it wasn't a problem with a battery or two, they all did the same thing. If I leave the equipment off for the day the batteries are dead the next time I try to turn the equipment on. I might as well just plug my equipment in, these batteries are not worth the cost.
For what it's worth, the 2200 mAh Energizer batteries have been much better--they actually hold a charge.
Customer Review: Buyer beware! Totally unreliable! Summary: 1 Stars
I emphatically second NLee's description of the unacceptably high self-discharge rate of these utterly unreliable batteries. I figured I was "all set" because I bought two sets of these batteries for my Canon PowerShot A630 a year and a half ago, so that I'd always have a fully charged set in reserve. Guess again!! Every time one set wears out, my backup set has died on their own via self-discharge and I end up having to use regular non-rechargeable batteries. For a while I thought there was something wrong with my camera, but my cheapo RadioShack battery meter tells me otherwise. AVOID THESE BATTERIES LIKE THE PLAGUE!!
Customer Review: NOT FOR SPEEDLITE EX FLASHES Summary: 2 Stars
DO NOT BUY THESE BATTERIES IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BATTERIES FOR YOUR FLASH UNIT.
I bought these batteries to use for my New 430 Speedlite EX II. My fault for not reading that for EX speedlite flashes you want to use Alkaline batteries...
But these batteries could definitely be better. Their discharge rate is very quick. You end up only using them for very light energy consuming items such as toys, remote controls or clocks... I would not recommend for cameras or other electronics that use a lot of power.
For the 430 speedlite, I could only use the flash twice before I'd have to recharge again.
Customer Review: Very short charging cycle! Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 3 packs of this Energizer rechargeable battery half a year ago and used 3 each time for my radio. I found the battery lifetime after each charge is gradually decreasing over time. Now is about 3-4 hours of listening time in my radio after each charge. If I use one-time non-rechargeable batteries, it lasts 30+ hours. This is a big surprise to me because I have to recharge these batteries every 3-4 days in the Energizer charger for at least 4 hours and it is very inconvenient. I would not recommend these batteries if you are looking for equivalent performance as normal non-rechargeable batteries.
