Summary: 5 Stars
I too shared many of the apparent problems with this charger/battery combo! I was about to return both sets I purchased; however, was able to resurrect the product and it works GREAT! The batteries now work super in my digital camera, cordless mouse, cordless keyboard, and even flashlights.
What I did:
1. I fully discharged the batteries in a flashlight - left it on overnight.
2. I fully charged the batteries in the charger overnight (ignore the steady green light indicating a full charge).
3. I repeated steps 1 and 2.
The batteries now operate great. They hold a charge and operate items I only operated previously with DuraCell Alkalines. The green fully-charged indicator on the charging unit also appears to be operating correctly now.
Other problems noted such as overheating and unit not staying plugged in have not been an issue for me. The unit is secure in a wall socket, the batteries are secure in the unit, and the operating temperature (even after 12 hrs) is just a little above room temp.
I hope this review may save you some grief and a potential needless return of the product!

I give 5 star to this charger.It is fast.Does the job if you use it in the USA.However inspite of some misleading information about using overseas this came from Amazon with a wall plug adapter that can only be used in the USA.On the manufacturer's web site a mention is made of DPS-3000e but no other details. The information sheet that came with the model I got mentions specification for AC adapter "AC 120V/AC239V/AC220V, 50-60Hz".HOWEVER the adapter I got can only be used with 120V AC 60HZ.So I am disappointed because I had been led to beleive this item will work abroad. SO be warned if you are planning to use it abroad at AC 220V 50Hz better look for another unit.Customer Review: DigiPower 3000 Readiness Review

I use the DigiPower charger and DigiPower AA batteries to power my Nikon strobes, both primary and slave unitsDigiPower DPS-3000+ 3-Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries and Car Charger. Slaves typically have to remain on constantly for long periods of time and the power drain on them is high. My DigiPower chargers and batteries perform without a hitch and bring everything back to full charge in short order, usually less than a hour.Customer Review: Far superior to regular rechargeables
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never been a big fan of rechargeable batterys, since they discharge so quickly after a full charge. I had also never been familiar with this type of rechargeable battery. Trust me, these are immensely superior to regular rechargeables and the price was fantastic when purchased with my Canon Powershot. Anyone who buys a camera and can get special savings on this battery pack is really missing the boat if they don't take advantage of the offer. The batterys charge up faster and last so much longer. Definitely worth the cost.Customer Review: Great Deal on AA Nickel Metal Hydride Charger & Batteries

These were one of those items on the side of the page that caught my eye. The 4 AAs are 2700 milli-amp-hours (mah) which is the highest capacity I've seen. Duracell NiMH in AA are 1800 mah, for comparison. The charger is quite nice as well, with a 2 or 4 battery selector switch, a wall charger, and a mobile adapter for your car. I'd say either the batteries or the charger are both worth the price, so I bought 4 of them for my model helicopters.
