"Great for Wii"
these batteries are great for the wii. Tehy will work for 3 to 5 days and then I just change them for a fresh pair. I use the slow charger I have 10 bateries for 3 controls and I'm never out of bateries.

I think these batteries are primarly for toys.

"The savings will be worth the money!"
I bought this because I am always eating through batteries for my camera, they are more expensive up front (espically since youhave to buy a charger), but it is going to be worth it, I wont have to buy batteries for years!!

"powerful!!"
2500 mAh Energizer AA : These batteries are POWERFUL. You will need to use an overnight charger & let them charge for the whole time listed to get the complete & fullest charge for these batteries. The quick chargers are good for keeping the teary eyed toddler from throwing a fit, then after he goes to bed, put them in the overnight charger. These batteries have been in our son's Leapfrog Clickstart keyboard for over a month & they are STILL going strong, longer than the regular AA's, and he uses it everyday. We have the C size in the console & same there, over a month now - almost 2 - lasting longer than the regular batteries did (only a month) I am completely amazed at how long they hold a charge. I am getting more because we seem to have quite a few things that need AAs. The price may seem steep at first, but we will save quite a lot in just a year by using these rechargeables.


"Don't even bother"
Since I have a lot of devices that use batteries (X360 controller, remotes, clocks, camera, wireless keyboard/mouse, etc.), I decided that using rechargeable batteries would be best. I decided to invest some money in a couple of these batteries (roughly 16 AA and 8 AAA). Starting off with only 4 AA, it slowly amounted to what I have today.

In a nutshell, I've never been so disappointed in a set of batteries. I understand that you can't rely on cheap batteries, but I figured that I couldn't go wrong with sticking with the big names when it comes to dependability. This is where Energizer has completely convinced me otherwise.

If you just picked up a set of these batteries, they'll seem amazing for the first few usages. I have had some of these batteries for almost 2 years now, and they are all but dead. I'm not talking about leaving them on the shelf, I'm talking about dead right off the charger. I'm using the LaCrosse BC-900, so I know its not the charger. Prior to that I use to use one of Energizer's $30 chargers, but switched because I thought that the charger was the only problem. I sure felt like an idiot a year ago when I was asked to be the photographer for a rehersal. For this, my camera was the Canon A620 which uses 4 AAs. I took what I thought were completely charged batteries and left for the event. About 3 hours later it was time to take a lot of photos. After about 20 shots the camera powered down, and everyone was staring at me. These pictures were taken using manual mode without any flash. Needless to say, I had to run to the gas station across the road to get some batteries. Now switch to a more recent event. Last week I took 4 batteries off the charger to use with my camera. The camera powered up then powered off. My other devices will run on them for awhile, but then they don't use that much energy. Needless to say, I don't even bother to replace my batteries with batteries that aren't coming right off the charger.

A few weeks ago I purchased a set of 4 Duracell rechargeable batteries (AA/HR6/DX1500 NiMH/1,2V/2000 mAh). So far they've been doing quite well, as well as the batteries that came with my charger. However, I'll have to see if they stand the test of time. Afterall, that's the whole purpose of using rechargeable batteries. I'll also pickup a couple of Eneloops.

"good batteries, could be better"
i havnt had a set of rechargeable batteries without a high discharge rate, which leads me to believe that its the norm. that said, im rating these in comparison with other batteries of this type. they do what they are supposed to do. theyre batteries people, if they die out, go and buy new ones. if they lasted forever, energizer wouldnt make any money. this isnt a stride gum commercial, its a business. buy them, enjoy them, and rebuy them as necessary. take care and i hope this review helps.
