| Energizer Rechargeable batteries are great for use in your household devices, such as digital cameras, toys, remote controls, flashlights, and portable audio players. The Energizer Rechargeable AA battery continues to last 4x longer in digital cameras, hold its charge up to six full months, and now can be charged up to 150 more times |

 Great batteries |

I used to buy excellent Maha rechargable batteries, but finally Energizer attracted my attention. Great price, great capacity. After about 20 recharges batteries are strong and do not show any signs of problems.
I use them in old, power hungry and very demanding Olympus E-10 camera. It is known to draw up to one amper of current and to declare batteries empty as far as their voltage goes slightly below 1.2 volts. Considering number of pictures I can take comparing to Maha 2100 MAh batteries, I can say Energizer is very strong performer and 2500MAh is not just a number.
Some users complained about very bad performance for Energizer.
There could be couple things to consider:
- make sure you have decent charger: many high capacity NiMh batteries can be destroyed easily with cheap (<$20) charger - overheat and overcharge are usual suspects
- some devices expect 1.5 volts, not 1.2 that all NiMh normally deliver; in general freshly charged good set of NiMh has voltage around 1.4 volts - but it goes down very fast to 1.2 v and stays there until batteries are nearly empty. Most modern cameras have "cut off" voltage set to 1.1 v
Update on Feb 7, 2007
I should mention that 4 out of my 12 Energizer batteries suddenly stopped to work. Surprisingly these are four spares I have not used much. I suspect that these batteries may develop a problem if left uncharged for prolonged period of time. For now I have bought Sanyo slow discharge Eneloop batteries (available at Amazon) as a replacement. |

| I've found these batteries to be WELL worth the money. They are comparable to a good Heavy Duty (Non-Alkaline) set of batteries. I have a program on my palm pilot called FPSUtil3.5 that allows me to track the battery power curve over time: They don't hold a top end charge for very long: 85% after only 30 minutes But they really hold up well after that: 68% after 2 hrs & 15 minutes (10 minutes of nightlight) - 54% after 3 hrs - 40% after 5 hrs - 38% after 8 hrs (15 minutes of nightlight) - 28% after 10 hrs - 18% (battery warning)after 11 hrs 30 minutes So, after 11 hours and 30 minutes of power on over a 6 day period with 25 minutes of nightlight use, they are ready for a 5 hour charge... NOT BAD, seeing as to how I'm supposed to be able to charge them 1000 times. I think I'll get my money out of them... ; ) |
These batteries saved me a lot of money

| I purchased 2 pairs of these batteries for my Palm Pilot IIIx because I was sick of spending a lot of money for non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. And I found them very reliable. There is no possibility of leakage with these batteries, because they are Nickel metal hydride, and they provide a large amount of energy for my Palm Pilot. Using them, I never found myself with empty batteries on the road. They are much better than NiCd batteries because they provide more then double mAh, and they do not loose their capacity with time. I would not trust any other batteries to keep my data safe, but Energizer. I use them in combination with Energizer charger for NiMH and NiCd battery family. |
Great little batteries when charged properly.

| I bought these Engergizer AccuRechargeable NiMH batteries in the new packaging which says they are 700mAh capacity. That is the highest of all AAA NiMH that I've been able to find. All NiMH batteries discharge when not used in about 90 days. So far these power my Palm M100 for 45 days use the way I use them. This is comparable to the Duracell Ultra's that I was using. I also have 4 of them in a small R/C car to power the motor. They run forever (>45 minutes) and when they are done a 1 hour recharge will get it moving again. I charge them on a Rayovac 1 hour charger which charges each battery idependently until it's "full" and I think that this makes a big difference over other cheaper chargers that charge 2 cells at once and/or for a fixed amount of time. If you need AAA size and want the best rechargeables you can get I'm convinced that these are probably those batteries. Get them and a Rayovac charger and you are set. |
Buy these, save $1000's

| In theory, these batteries will save you at least $1,000. They cost about $30 with the charger and you can charge them up to 1000 times. If a set of regular batteries costs $4, that savings equals $3,000 over the lifetime of the product. Well, i can't imagine using regular batteries ever again. If i can only charge these 500 times, that's good enough for me. I bought these batteries because i use my CD walkman regularly - every day to and from work. That is the only piece of equipment i own that i use batteries for really. These particular rechargables last longer than Rayovac rechargables, and definitely last longer than Alkaline consumables, making the savings to you even higher. If you own ANYthing that takes batteries that you change 10 times a year, BUY THESE!!! You will save money, frustration, the environment and time. I bought the 4 pack, my walkman uses 2, so i just switch them out once every 10 days, at this rate i can't imagine buying a new set for 7 years. Hmmm...that seems strange but what seems stranger is the thought of buying non-chargables. So even people with minimum usage for batteries will save money. If you have more than 1 person in your house, i can't see going without, you would be throwing you money down the drain. Their are several styles of chargers for the ACCu series. A large one for various styles of batteries, a compact for AA & AAA batteries, another Compact for AA NIMH or NICA. I have the last one, it is small and cute and people always ask me about it, then i just start raving. The only problem i see is that it does take over 10 hours at first and for a full charge, but that is no big deal. Buy an extra set of two if you frequenly need them right away. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. |
