Customer Review: Finally, Rechargeable Batteries That Has Shelf Life Close to Alkalines
Summary: 5 Stars
The biggest drawback for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is the shelf life. I got gadgets and toys all around the house, so I constantly charging batteries to have them ready when I need them. There will be very little juice left if you put them in the shelf unused for a couple of months. A waste of time and energy. Hence, one of the biggest advancement in battery technology is the arrival of the new low discharge Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. This is another great step in helping the environment. I have very few left of the old batteries since I started to replace all of them with low discharge batteries. Eneloops and Duracell are 2 of the best of its kind.
Pros:
-Low discharge.
-Fine quality product. Well constructed
-Conventional size and dimension. I had other batteries that I have to use a screwdriver to remove from my camera because it is fatter than other "AA's".
-Included "D" & "C" spacers are really useful.
-Regular charger included (You can also use your existing NiMh charger for these batteries)
Cons:
-More expensive than ordinary NiMh
-Not available at many stores
-Maxes at around 2000-2100 mAh
Customer Review: The best general purpose rechargeable battery ever
Summary: 5 Stars
PROS: I use this on everything I possibly can (Wii, TV, and DVD remotes, flashlights, walkie talkies, bicycle lights, MP3 players, flashes, wireless mouse & keyboard, etc. Reusable and saves you money vs. buying alkaline batteries. These batteries also last a lot longer in storage than regular NiMH.
CONS: They are just slightly larger than regular alkaline batteries. In very rare cases, they might not fit in your device. Out of all the things I have tried, I have found 1 thing they do not fit in (DirecTV DVR remote). Also, they only output 1.2V. Most electronic devices have voltage regulators (which can bring the voltage up to 1.5V) in them so it doesn't matter. But in devices without voltage regulators, you might experience lower performance. Examples include a flashlight/headlamp looking dimmer or maybe your MP3 player/electronic gadget might say low battery even though it still works for a very long time. The MP3 player/electronic device might not last as long or say low battery because the voltage might be too low for the device indicator even though it still has power.
Customer Review: Great starter set
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for some rechargeable C batteries to use in my shower radio, which eats up batteries like there's no tomorrow. After looking at NiMH batteries in C size on Amazon, I stumbled upon this pack with its four AA --> C adapters, and I'm glad I did.
First of all, they perform wonderfully. The AA eneloops in the C shells last at least twice as long in the radio as the alkaline C's that I was having to buy en masse to keep the tunes playing. Plus, if I want to use the AA's for something else, I have the flexibility to do take them out of the adapters so I'm not stuck with C batteries if I later have no use for them. On the negative side, the AA's don't snap into the C adapters quite like I was expecting, they just slide into the middle of the shell and sit there, but it's a small quibble.
My only other gripe is that the charger that comes with this pack must charge two or four batteries at a time, so if you have only one dead cell you're out of luck. But otherwise, I'm totally satisfied, I'll never go back to throw-away batteries!
Customer Review: First experience with rechargeable batteries, not disappointed at all!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first experience with rechargeable AA/AAA batteries, and I am definitely not disappointed with my choice. I researched for quite a while before making a purchase and finally decided on this kit. I did not want to spend a fortune, but I wanted a good/decent charger and a good number of batteries. This kit fit those requirements perfectly. This is a good value for all you receive with it.
I just purchased a new digital camera and it uses regular AA batteries, instead of a battery pack -- another first for me. Between the new camera and my Wiimote's, I knew it was time to finally buy rechargeable batteries. After reading that most rechargeable batteries end up losing their charge as they sit unused in devices, and that these batteries by Sanyo were much better in that regard -- I was sold. My camera use and Wiimote use can be very sporadic, and I did not want to find myself in a situation where if a device sat unused for a long period of time, I'd turn it on only to find dead batteries. Sanyo has this covered!
Customer Review: Love these batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
If you use anything with AA or AAA batteries you need these! Since they are low self-discharge they come charged in the package! When you use them up, you just charge them and put them back in the drawer, they don't lose much charge at all in the drawer! I currently use one in our baby's bouncer for vibration which takes a single D cell. I just pop one in the D adapter and now I've got a D cell. If I accidentally leave the vibration on - no big deal, I just charge it back up and I'm back in business! I use them in my wireless computer mouse and keyboard, flickering electronic candles, cameras, gaming controllers, anywhere I'd normally use an alkaline battery. I've had my first couple of sets for a year now, and they still perform great. I just put in another order for 8 more AA's. I don't want to use alkaline batteries ever again! These are finally the perfect replacement for alkalines. The only drawback to this set is that the charger only charges them in pairs. Not a huge deal, but could be improved.
