Batteries Eneloop AAA 4-Pack / B000IV2YLY
I first bought Eneloop batteries on a recommendation from a friend - I'm not really obsessive on researching batteries and charge rates, but he was and I was happy to benefit from the knowledge.
I don't claim to understand all the technology behind these batteries, but they really do work they way they claim. The time between charging and needing to charge again is much longer than my other batteries - I use these AAs in my battery-operated night-lite candles and they last for for at least three weeks, 12 hours a night, before needing to be charged again. My Energizers do not last nearly so long, and I will be replacing them with these as they burn out.
Eneloops also charge faster, in my opinion. And they definitely last a lot longer than other batteries, in terms of their entire lifespan - since it's always expensive to replace batteries (and difficult to find a recycling center that will accept them), I appreciate that these batteries "live" much longer than any other brand I have purchased.

Customer Review: Rechargeables That Has a Shelf Life That Rivals 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 "AAA's".
-Can be charged on your existing NiMh charger.
-Sleek and sexy design
Cons:
-More expensive than ordinary NiMh
-Not available at many stores
-Rated not more than 750 mAh
Customer Review: These things last awhile...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a 4-pack of these Eneloop AA batteries awhile ago and I still use them. I would use 2 of the AA batteries in my Xbox360 wireless controller. They still last a considerably long time even now in 2010 while I play games. In fact, I haven't bought anything to replace this 4-pack in the *two years* I received them. I have a separate PowerEX charger by Maha Power that I use to charge these batteries - I don't pay attention to how long they take to charge, but I can't imagine more than an hour or two on a fully drained battery, I think.
The Xbox360 Play/Charge kit is nice, but once the battery packs are gone, that's it. I spent some $9 dollars and change two years ago, and I'm still using the same batteries.
I took a trip for three weeks in June-July and the charge levels were still maintained as well in my controller. I've also used the four in an old point and shoot Canon Powershoot when my other rechargeables were drained. I never felt like I was going to run out of juice with them.
This is a no brainer - these batteries last and are worth every penny.
Customer Review: Damaged
Summary: 1 Stars
I received the 4 pack and it was open, ripped backing and the plastic partially removed from the front. That wasn't a big deal but when I took the batteries out each battery was damaged. They were deformed and had dents. I have no idea if they work because I'm worried about using them. I just contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response. I should've purchased the batteries from Amazon instead of another seller. I never have problems with Amazon but it's a common thing from other sellers.
Edit: 2/14/11 I received a response from the merchant, National Deals, which said they'd be able to send a new pack if needed but believed the batteries to be new and damaged only through shipping. I decided to go ahead and use them. I charged them and used one pair. Yesterday I noticed they leaked on my charger and in my wii remote. I emailed them back asking for a replacement. They replied the same day and said a new pack is being shipped. I am very happy so far with their customer service. Hopefully, the new batteries will arrive in good condition and I'll update my rating.
Customer Review: great NiMh batteries for my digital camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a new digital SLR, and bought some new AA batteries to go with it (the fact that it uses regular AA batteries was one of the reasons I got the Pentax 200D). Actually, I didn't know this type of "low self-discharge" NiMh battery existed. I was a bit put off by the fact that they are rated at fewer milliampere hours than others, but the self-discharge thing has been a major annoyance in the past, so I decided to give them a try. I also bought some "Imedion" AAs from Powerex. When I got them, the Imedions required charging, the Eneloops were full up. I put the Imedions in the charger and the Eneloops in the camera. They lasted for a couple of months of messing around with the new camera, taking a bunch of shots in the process. The camera's battery indicator finally showed them at half full during a night at a folk concert (the folk don't mind if I shoot pictures of them), so I put in the recently charged Imedions. They dropped to half-full in a couple of shots, then to empty! So...I'm getting more Eneloops. Don't know what I'll do with those other inert cylinders.
