Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sanyo 2,700 mAh AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack)
Customer Review: Not all batteries are created equal--these beat the pack
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a digital camera with an excellent reputation, save for its long recycling times for its built-in flash. Most of the reviews I'd read of that camera said it took about five seconds to recycle the flash.
Hoping to do better, I purchased these GE/Sanyo nickel-metal hydride batteries. My own tests show these superior batteries take only two to three seconds to power the flash on my camera. That's nearly fifty percent better performance than from other batteries. Even non-rechargeable, high-end alkalines can't beat that performance.
Best of all, the price for these is better than other name brands of NiMH AA batteries.
Better than expected performance and a great price--that adds up to five stars.
Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used *many* types of rechargeable batteries in my day (I have kids with plenty of gadgets) and these are not very good. I would give them 1 star but they do *work*, just very poorly.
I hate to be one of "those people", but seriously, save your money and buy Eneloop.
I do not understand all the positive reviews for these batteries. Perhaps my usage is nonstandard, but I do not think so. I have mostly used them in Wiimotes and now they last only a few hours (after only maybe 5 or so recharges!).
My charger is a high quality Maha, so I do not think that is an issue (my Eneloops and other batteries charge very well with it).
Note that I have never used these batteries for any sort of cameras.
Customer Review: So far the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I use AA batteries as part of my job. Plowing through as many as 15 to 20 a day in my alkaline days. Several years ago I made the switch to NiMH rechargables for both environmental and economical reasons.
I can safely say I have tried just about every make and capacity of AA NiMH battery out there and the Sanyo 2700mAh are, so far, the best for the money. I use high drain devices so the lower capacity batteries end up being too much of a hassle to change all the time. These fit my purposes perfectly.
If you are looking for some AA for your remote control or some other low drain devices go with a cheaper NiMH but for high drain devices these are the best.
Customer Review: A very high quality battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Sanyo NiMH rechargeables for several years now. I am impressed with the quality, and the price is quite reasonable through Amazon. I recharge them in a LaCrosse Technology charger that I also purchased at Amazon. As with any rechargeable, the slowest recharging rate is the best for long life (it minimizes heat generation in the battery). The LaCrosse lets you select the charging current. The batteries are mainly used in a Nikon SB 800 flash, and, although I haven't counted the number of flashes, I've never run out of charge (150 pictures taken one day). The 2,700 mAh is bigger than many other AAs, but the charger handles it fine.Customer Review: Amazing rechargable batteries!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are really great! They last very long, much longer than anything else I've ever used. We've had them for more than a year now, and they still work and charge and work again as perfectly as a year ago. They work with any standard charger. In fact that's how I came to buying them: at one point I had bought a Digital Concepts batteries+charger kit, which turned out to consist of a decent charger and really crappy batteries. I had to shop for new ones, found these from Sanyo, and we couldn't be happier with them. The only problem is that we don't have enough for all our devices, so I'm shopping for more of them as soon as I finish typing this review!
