Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Energizer NH15BP-4 Rechargeable AA Battery 4 Pack
Customer Review: Warning! High discharge rate
Summary: 1 Stars
After replacing my old Sony rechargeable batteries after 3 years of solid use, I wanted to go in another direction and bought these from a supposed battery-specialized company. At first I thought the reason why, after charging the batteries a couple days before, the first pair was at mid charge while the spare batteries could not even turn my camera on, was due to using a Sony charger. After that I bought an Energizer charger with another four batteries.
Guess what? the same thing. The only way you can use these is if you charge them right before use (8 hours!) and practically makes no sense carrying a spare pair as they will not work when you need them.
I really recommend avoiding these and going with Sanyo Eneloops, just as I did.
Customer Review: Good for a few months
Summary: 1 Stars
I specifically searched the web looking for issues with these batteries. They are great at first, but after a few months of using them, they just don't last.
I have had the same issue with 2 different batches of them. I was starting to think it was the charger, but they only happened to the Energizers, and not to the generic NiMHs with a 2200 mAH capacity, that I've had longer than these Energizers that are still going strong
Energizer's goal was apparently to get the highest mAh number, at the cost of durability. Their website even cites half the number of cycles these 2500s have over the older 1700s...but I'm not getting anywhere near the 500 they say..more like 20 (to be generous)
Customer Review: Interesting discovery
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased 3 packs of these energizers at different times in the past few years. I recently noticed that one of the packs last MUCH longer than the other two. The difference is that one pack in made in Japan and has a gray/green top surrounding the the + terminal. The other is made in China and has a black top surrounding the + terminal.
The surprise is that the China made black top batteries are the ones that last much longer. I use these in an electric toothbrush, and they will last 2 or more months on a single charge. The Japan made ones only last a couple weeks. I can't say if this will apply for everyone, but all 4 of the China Energizers greatly outlast the other 8 Japan Energizers I own.
Customer Review: 2500 mAH AA Don't last a day!
Summary: 1 Stars
From the very first use of the Energizer 2500 mAH AA batteries, I was very disappointed. They didn't last but a few hours in my digital camera. They are only good for small flashlights and such and even then don't last as long as a regular disposable AA.
I also tried them in my small gps, fully charged, I took a 3 hour motorcycle ride and when I went to use the gps, the batteries were dead. They take a full 8 hours to re-charge and then don't even last that long in use. They discharge even without use in less than a week.
Poor product - not recommended for digital cameras, GPS or anything but a very small flashlight and even then, you can only count on them for about a day's use.
Customer Review: I've just replaced my set of these
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had a set of these batteries for a year or two now. The last few times I've taken them out for vacation use in camera, I've had the same problem: I charge two sets (one Kodak and one these Energizers) when I put the camera away. A few weeks later, I go off on vacation. The Kodak 1600mAh set will last me all day on the charge from a month or so before. The Energizer 2500mAh set might last me half a day, having lost most of its charge from sitting for the same number weeks before use.
After missing out on some pics on my latest trip due to dead batteries, I'd had enough. The Energizers are going in the bin, and I just followed the good reviews to buy a set of Duracells to replace them.
