Customer Review: First experience with rechargeable batteries, not disappointed at all!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first experience with rechargeable AA/AAA batteries, and I am definitely not disappointed with my choice. I researched for quite a while before making a purchase and finally decided on this kit. I did not want to spend a fortune, but I wanted a good/decent charger and a good number of batteries. This kit fit those requirements perfectly. This is a good value for all you receive with it.
I just purchased a new digital camera and it uses regular AA batteries, instead of a battery pack -- another first for me. Between the new camera and my Wiimote's, I knew it was time to finally buy rechargeable batteries. After reading that most rechargeable batteries end up losing their charge as they sit unused in devices, and that these batteries by Sanyo were much better in that regard -- I was sold. My camera use and Wiimote use can be very sporadic, and I did not want to find myself in a situation where if a device sat unused for a long period of time, I'd turn it on only to find dead batteries. Sanyo has this covered!
Customer Review: Love these batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
If you use anything with AA or AAA batteries you need these! Since they are low self-discharge they come charged in the package! When you use them up, you just charge them and put them back in the drawer, they don't lose much charge at all in the drawer! I currently use one in our baby's bouncer for vibration which takes a single D cell. I just pop one in the D adapter and now I've got a D cell. If I accidentally leave the vibration on - no big deal, I just charge it back up and I'm back in business! I use them in my wireless computer mouse and keyboard, flickering electronic candles, cameras, gaming controllers, anywhere I'd normally use an alkaline battery. I've had my first couple of sets for a year now, and they still perform great. I just put in another order for 8 more AA's. I don't want to use alkaline batteries ever again! These are finally the perfect replacement for alkalines. The only drawback to this set is that the charger only charges them in pairs. Not a huge deal, but could be improved.Customer Review: Perfect...

If you need a lot of batteries, you can't go wrong with this product. For me, it was the birth of my baby boy and in came the swings, gliders, bouncers, etc. The one drawback I was expecting these batteries to have was the duration of power, but so far I have been impressed. I will have to update the crowd if this holds true after the first recharge though. Also, I had read not too long ago that battery companies have been swindling us for years by making AA, C, D, etc. batteries when all of them deliver the same power. I am thankful for the C and D converters which allow me to stock a single type (AA) of battery for all my needs, which means I have less extra batteries hanging around for no reason. I can't speak for durability yet, since I haven't owned them long enough. The C & D converters seem a bit flimsy but I am usually careful with my stuff so that shouldn't be a problem.
P.S. These batteries seem to have stolen the energizer bunny.
Customer Review: Good deal even if you don't need the adapters
Summary: 5 Stars
These adapters are great for flashlights, radios and the like. I didn't really need the C adapters, but for the price I was not going to purchase 2 of the SANYO SEC-NCSTG-D2AA ENELOOP SPACER PACKS (INCLUDES 2 AA WITH 2 D-SIZE SPACERS) when I could get this set for $28.
Even if you don't need the adapters its a good deal. 8 AAs alone would cost you in the neighborhood of $22: Sanyo Eneloop 8 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries
If you can buy this set for under $30 it's a pretty good deal considering the adapters and 8 AAs would cost (if purchased separately) $40 or more. Plus you get 2 AAAs and a mediocre charger.
Highly recomended!
Customer Review: Why buy anything else?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using Eneloop batteries in my digital camera for a couple of years now, and there seems to be no question that they are superior to any other type of rechargeable battery (at a reasonable price). I've thrown away all my older rechargeables. I bought this kit because I wanted to be able to charge/use AAA batteries as well as AAs.
It's not entirely clear from the description how the C and D size adapters work. The items in the kit that look like C and D batteries are actually just cases, into which you put the AA size batteries for use. Given the high capacity of the AA batteries, they are presumably more than adequate to replace conventional C and D types.
I really can't understand why anyone is still buying other types of rechargeable battery. There's no contest!
