Customer Review: Don't listen to the haters!
Summary: 5 Stars
Look, I got a couple of these batteries used which came with an xbox 360 controller I bought somewhere.
They work much better than the energizer batteries I got, and those I got new.
Be sure though to buy the exact kind of battery with this green and black or the newest kind that come with the 15 minute charger.
Duracell has worked far far better than energizer. For example, with these used duracell batteries I got, I recharged them and placed them in a portable DV camera. The camera sat there for 3 o 4 months with the batteries inside.
When I finally got to use it again, I thought the batteries would give out soon enough before I could record any significant audio or video footage.
To my surprise, and it was a surprise as I didn't even remember having them until I open the camera's battery compartment, they recorded a full more than an hour long audio conversation, and several videos. They have not given out yet.
The rechargeable Energizer ones, I placed FULLY CHARGED in my rock band drums set, played for a couple of hours a video game, then after three days of the drums sitting there doing nothing, the thing would not even turn on. Faulty equipment? No, faulty batteries which still get going draining themselves long after you've finished using them; oh, let me add draining themselves at a significantly high rate these Energizer things.
:)
Go with duracell, guys. In my experience, these specific ones or the new kind which come with the 15 minture charger work great!
Customer Review: Duracell Ni-MH rechargeables are pretty darned good...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had purchased almost all Energizer AA Ni-MH batteries and about 8 Duracell AA Ni-MH batteries. What a difference.
Duracell: Can charge, store for weeks and then use with confidence
Energizer: Can charge, but better use right away
Duracell: Can get about 200 pictures on a single set of AA Ni-MH
Energizer: Can get no more than 10 pictures on a single set of AA Ni-MH batteries.
It became obvious that Energizer batteries were not up to task, so I recently returned the Energizers and purchased more Duracells. Word of caution on returning batteries to Energizer: They claim to give you compensation for their defective products - unfortunately it is in terms of $10 coupons rather than cash reimbursement. Now I have $70 of useless Energizer battery and flashlight coupons rather than cash. I don't consider Energizer batteries a waste of money - I consider them dangerous. If you are taking a walk and get 5 minutes of life out of a flashlight, that's a problem that I have experienced with Energizer rechargeables. With Duracells I can take several walks before recharging.
Customer Review: EXCELLENT BATTERIES 5 Stars
I'm a professional photographer and have relied on these batteries to power my flash units for years. To give you and idea of how good they are, on a typical photography event, they hold a strong charge for up to 3-4 hours of CONTINUOUS flashing, and I'm talking on a Nikon SB900 flash, which is one of the biggest Nikon on-camera flash units available. These are excellent batteries. Great quality and life span. I don't get the negative feedback from people that say they die quickly. What in the world are they doing? Don't expect them to have a charge for a long time, like days or even weeks at a time depending on the type of use. The point of them being rechargeable is the ability to recharge them for reuse and optimal performance without having to waste so much money buying regular ones. In my experience, after all that heavy duty operation, they start dying out one by one at the time of about two years. Failure to recharge, it's an indication that they need to be replaced. In conclusion, I definitely recommend these batteries.Customer Review: Best ever.

I purchased these batteries from NYC Electronics, throug Amazon and received them within the week; I also purchased the Duracell CEF14NC charger. It took 8 hours to charge the batteries, but that charge lasted 14 days in my Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 Keyboard with lighted keys and Mouse. Giving that I used them 10-12 hours a day, and they were on standby for the rest of the time I am truly impressed. The Energizer batteries that came with the keyboard and mouse had to be charged every day, there is no comparison in the charge between the two batteries. I do believe the original charge of eight hours had something to do with the longevity of the batteries. I just recharged the keyboard and mouse for the first time, with the charger that is part of the total keyboard package; it only took 4 hours to get a full charge for the keyboard and two hours for the mouse. I give both purchases a 5 star rating.Customer Review: WORKS WELL, SAVES LOTS OF MONEY
Summary: 5 Stars
I own about 2 packs of these batteries. They are wonderful. I have saved a lot of money by investing in these batteries. Why pay $4.00 to $5.00 for one pack of batteries that get used once and thrown away when you can purchase these and reuse them 1000 times. It is true that they don't quite have the power of normal duracell alkaline batteries so they might be an issue for certain things that use a lot of power. For example Digital Camera's take a lot of power. But for the most part these work really well and I have used them for 3 - 4 years now. I highly recommend them to everyone.
