Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Energizer NH15BP-4 Rechargeable AA Battery 4 PackCustomer Review: DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Summary: 1 Stars
I have 4 kids and we were using batteries like crazy. I don't necessarily like throwing all of those batteries away when there are rechargables. I went to the store without doing any research first and just picked up these Energizers 2500mAhs. Needless to say, most don't work after a year. I couldn't get my programmable thermastat to even work because it had such a low charge coming straight off of the charger. And today, my sons batteries died in his guitar, took the ones that had just gotten done in the charger and they didn't even last five minutes, and boy he wasn't very happy. I think I would have been better off getting those junky ones from the dollar store. Look for a better brand!
Customer Review: Great product, short life Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these for my Canon digital camera (A710-IS) and was immediately disappointed to find out they did not support both 110V and 240V input voltage. To counter this, I immediately bought some Sony batteries with the same specs that did have a 110-240V charger. I used these 2 sets of batteries through many trips.
After 2 years, the Energizer batteries simply stopped working. They would hold a charge for maybe a few days then be dead, even with no use. The Sony batteries are still lasting for hundreds of photographs with each charge.
I would not recommend these batteries simply because you'll need new ones within 2 years. Buy some Sony ones instead.
Customer Review: Shockingly Bad Performance Summary: 1 Stars
Not only do these batteries not last more than a couple of years (at very low utilization and certainly fewer than two dozen recharges since purchase), they also don't hold their charge for more than a couple of weeks after being recharged when they are a year old or more. I cycle through about a dozen of them for my mouse and keyboard, but when I replace the current pair with some others that I've previously charged, no more than a couple days goes by when I have to replace them again, it is pathetic.
Buy Sanyo Eneloop instead, I have one of those to yet fail on me, and they are always ready to go when I need them, they actually hold a charge for more than two weeks.
Customer Review: They keep going and going and 5 Stars
I bought them in the first place to go in my portable cd player, then i started using them in my K'nex because they [eat] batteries like there is no tomorrow, and they lasted for days upon days. In addition to those i now use them for my TI-92 plus claculator, i have had to charge those batteries for my calc once since about feb, and i used it everyday until June, and they never died. These saved me so much money it isn't even funny, and as for them getting hot while they recharge, thats the way they are suppose to charge they get a fuller charge that way i belive. So if you are looking for a good sturdy set of rechargeble batteries, i seriously reccommend these batteries to all!!
Customer Review: Good Capacity/Bad Charge Retention Summary: 1 Stars
While these batteries have a higher mAh rating than other brands, I've seen much better performance from my Duracell and even some generic rechargeable batteries. I cannot say for certain you'll have the same bad experience, as it depends what you use them for, but for me they barely seem to make it 2-3 months and sometimes only weeks before they lose too much charge to be of use. They're nearly worthless to me. I almost never use them anymore.
I'm replacing these with Duracell ones that are advertised to hold their charge for a year, so hopefully those will work as promised. I just cannot advise going with Energizer after using these. Try another brand.
