Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500
Customer Review: Completely dead after 12 months..
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought an 8pack in January 2009 for use in a Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom digital camera. The camera uses 4 AAs and would inhale the cheapie Costco branded alkalines. However, I could only depend on one set of 4 AAs, while the other set would last about the time it took to recharge the first set. Then, after a year, these AA batteries exhibit the similar problems. They charge up nicely, but within about 10 photos, the camera starts flashing low battery. The poorly performing set just teases me by to powering up my camera so it can turn off. I've been using the Maha Powerex MH-C9000 WizardOne Charger-Analyzer all this time and have run it through the break-in cycle, but they're dead.
I'm running now with the little IMEDION AA 2100mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries w/Holder- 4 Batteries Per Pack that I purchased at the same time, but never used. Low discharge indeed to have that much power after a year.
As opposed to aklaline batteries, I've saved some landfill space by using these Duracells, but spent about the same amount of money without the confidence that a new set of cheapie AA can give you. Two stars.
Customer Review: Don't last through many recharge cycles
Summary: 2 Stars
These batteries are not very good at all. Even when used with a good charger, they simply don't have a very long life. I use them in a Canon digital camera, and after one or two shots, they start taking longer and longer to recharge the flash. Now, I take them right off the charger, the camera flashes the "low battery" sign, and they take 10-15 seconds just to charge the flash. The batteries that came with the charger (a La Crosse) last longer per charge and haven't worn out like these have. I'll never buy Duracell rechargeables again.Customer Review: Some don't hold a charge
Summary: 2 Stars
I had bought two sets of these as the "4-pack". Sadly, half of my batteries don't hold a charge. Since I have the La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger, I can check the current voltage of the batteries. After brief usage, some batteries still had high voltage, while others had completely run out!! Consequently, I don't use the ones that don't hold a charge (and the others work just fine). I own many other brands of batteries, but these are the worst. I think the Rayovac have been the best.Customer Review: Not a good choice for a camera flash
Summary: 2 Stars
These are absolute garbage for photography. I read the user reviews about the long shelf like and liked the high capacity rating, but my experience has been the opposite in the 3 months or so I've had them. It seems like they can't hold a charge for even a week, after an overnight charge. I bought them for use in a Canon 430EX II Speedlite and often times find that my flash is useless because the batteries are dead. I'll try the Sanyo Eneloops of Panasonics next time.Customer Review: The 2650mAh's self-discharged too soon
Summary: 2 Stars
The Duracell 2650mAh batteries surprised me by being dead when I needed them (I thought they were ready and good for use). It's been only a couple of weeks roughly since I recharged the 2650mAh's prior to my attempt to use the batteries. The astonishingly fast self-discharge rate make the 2650mAh's impractical/inconvenient. I am discarding (properly) all eight of my Duracell 2650mAh batteries, and ordering more pre-charged batteries such as the Eneloop.
