Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Energizer Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries, 8-Count
Customer Review: Less than satisfied
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought two sets of 2500 mAh NiMH Energizer batteries and have been less than satisfied with them. I am using an Energizer NiMH battery charger (the 6-7 hour timer type) and the batteries die after only a few shots in my Canon Powershot S2. One set dies after taking a picture or two -- this is immediately after charging them. I have since disposed of this set. Interestingly, their performance was very impressive at first, allowing two days worth of shooting hundreds of pictures and lots of video, but in the four months that followed, their longevity has greatly diminished. I have charged the batteries perhaps 30-50 times at most, and I believe these are rated for around 500 charges. I am currently looking elsewhere for a better NiMH battery solution.Customer Review: Very poor shelf life, high internal discharge rate
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had several sets of these over the past couple of years and I've found that they become virtually unusable after just a few uses. I have taken to carrying 3 extra sets of 4 of these in my digicam case and in several cases I've only gotten 10-20 photos out of the whole batch of 16 batteries, esp. if they've been in the case for a week or so. I thought I must be doing something wrong, or my charger was bad or something, but when I bought some other brands (Rayovac, Tenergy, and Powerex) I found they actually lasted about four times as long as either these Energizers or the equivalent Duracells that I had. I'll not be buying any more of these, or the Duracells either. They were cheap Walmart/Target sets but they're a waste of money.Customer Review: They die of old age, even without use.
Summary: 3 Stars
When I bought these batteries, they were much cheaper than any other AA NIMH batteries on the market, to the tune of 50% or more. When I first used then, they lasted expected amount and recharges alright. After a few uses and a few months of sitting in the drawer, they seem to simply die on its own, without use. When I took them out and charged them again, they couldn't even keep a Pentax K200D running, right after a night of charging! I put each of them back on the charger, and the charger light won't turn on. Seems they just die of old age, even without any use. They're a year and half old. So beware, buy them if you expect active use in the near future, and be prepared to throw them away after a few months.Customer Review: OK but doesn't last (eneloop gets higher ratings)
Summary: 2 Stars
These batteries are much better than buying regular alkaline batteries because they can be recharged many times over. I bought about 30 of the AA and AAA batteries and have used them for over two years for everything in the house: a wireless mouse and keyboard, TV remote controls, WII remotes, WII Fit balance board, Rock Band guitars and portable MP3 players.
My main problem is the batteries self-discharge completely after 1-2 months. I am annoyed with having to replace batteries so often in my devices even when they sit unused. Because eneloop self-discharges much slower (or so I've read) and are about the same price, I'm recycling these Energizer batteries and getting eneloop.
Customer Review: Energizer plug-in energy wasters that look like batteries
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd never buy these again.
I know batteries get used up + you need to buy more.
So I figured rechargeable should be good = keeping some junk out the the environment for a while at least.
HOWEVER - these batteries are total crap !
If I want to take some digital pictures [that's why I bought them]
I need to charge the batteries overnight.
Then, I can take maybe ten pictures switch batteries + get 10 more.
It's a camera not a car !
What a waste of time + energy to get 10 pictures + where's the spontaneity + ease that's suppose to be part of the digital camera experience.
Is Energizer the one with the bunny ?
The bunny's dead .
