Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargable Batteries with Charger - 4 Pack
Customer Review: Ideal Batteries For Digital Cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 4 of these along with charger last month and after testing these batteries I will definitely recommend these to anyone who needs long lasting and powerful batteries for their digital cameras. Here is what I did with these batteries.
I initially charged two AA Sanyo eneloop batteries, put them in my digital camera (FujiFilm FinePix AX250 14MP), started recording video and let the camera on tripod till the batteries were almost dead.
With just 2 x AA batteries I was able to record videos of almost 3 hours (actual 2 hours and 56 mins) plus I also transferred the videos to my laptop which took another 15 minutes and the LCD of my camera was also ON all the time. It took me about 8+ hours to completely charge the same 2xAA batteries with the Ni-MH charger (rated : AA = 300mA) that came along with these batteries. The charge time was a little longer than expected.
Although I will not be recording too many videos but this little experiment surely confirms how good these Sanyo eneloop batteries are for digital cameras.
Customer Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Energizer rechargeable batteries for nearly 10 years. I bought them specifically for my Olympus point-and-shoot digital camera (4 AA). After several long events, I realized they just would not hold up to regular/long use. I ended up with three sets that I would charge and carry around...
Ok, 10 years later and I'm now using a DSLR. I recently purchased a flash unit that required 4 AA batteries. I had seen several reviews of these Sanyo Eneloop batteries and figured that I would give them a try. These are the best rechargeable batteries I have ever owned or worked with.
The time to get a full charge is comparable with others. The hours of use before needing a charge is excellent! One issue with using rechargeable batteries in a flash unit is the recycle time before you can flash again, but it is not an issue with the Sanyo Eneloop! I think maybe one second, but definitely less than two seconds between shots.
I already bought a four pack of the AAAs and will be replacing all my old Energizers with these soon.
Customer Review: The best batteries for you speedlights!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? These eneloops are awesome! I got tired of buying AA batteries for my Nikon Speedlights and the recycle times of the speedlights near the end of the alkaline battery life was really long.. so I never even finished using the battery life of the normal alkaline AA's that I used to use... I would throw them out and use fresh ones.. Then I heard about these and thought I would give them a chance.. well it's been almost a year and I have to say that these are the best batteries I ever used in anything! They have replaced ALL of my AA battery needs.. from my wireless mouse to my entertainment system remotes! And of course the reason I got them for my Nikon Speedlights! I have 2 SB-600's and 1 SB-800 and the lasting power of these are amazing! Even when the battery life gets low the recycle time of the flash is the same as a freshly charged set! Amazing!
But the thing I love most about these batteries is the fact that you can charge them and store them and they hold their charge until you're ready to use them.
Customer Review: Haven't had to charge them yet.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the idea and the performance of these batteries. Whatever hybrid features they combined to get the long shelf life and the rechargeable NiMh is incredible. I have not had to charge these batteries yet. They came pre-charged and I have not not run them down yet. One of the biggest things I always hated about NiMh rechargeables was the fact that they always ran out of power while they were sitting idle, then whenever I wanted to use them, they were dead and I'd have to wait another several hours for them to charge. Incredible concept and well executed.
Update 04/23/08:
I've been using these batteries for several months now and I love them. They last a long time and they stay charged when I don't use them for awhile. I have an RC car that uses NiMh batteries and I wish they made these type of batteries for it. I highly recommend this charger and these batteries. I am about to buy more for my other battery using products and have recommended them to all of my friends.
Customer Review: Great Batteries!
Summary: 5 Stars
I Own several different brands of AA, AAA NIMH rechargeables which I use for my photographic equiptments. I always have to charge them before I use them to make sure that they are ready. I accidentally bump into the Eneloop batteries while browsing on Amazon. After reading the specs of the battery, I got so excited as I've been waiting for a product like these. I first ordered a four pack and when it arrived I immediately check the charge of the batteries with my battery tester, and sure enough it still had a full charge. I bought another four with the charger
I also noticed that the charger indicator light would go off when the batteries are fully charge. My only regret is, I wish the charger can be used in countries using to 220V. I will load them on my Nikon SB-600 electronic flash on my next photo shoot and see how they compare with my other NIMH batteries. As of now I have the feeling that this will be my primary batteries. I will put in another review after I use them.
