Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - 8 Pack
Customer Review: Awesome Batteries.
Summary: 5 Stars
A year ago I bought Promaster XtraPower Pro rechargeable NiMH AA batteries for my Canon S3 IS. The batteries seemed to lose their charge quickly. Heading to the United Kingdom, I decided to try the new AA Sanyo ENELOOPS NiMH 2000mAh. To make sure that they held their full charge, I used the video feature of my camera. I've managed to get 250 minutes of video recording time with the ENELOOPS. Compare this to the Promaster that only lasted 150 minutes fully charged. Even with the ENELOOPS sitting in the camera for at least 3 days without use, I was able to record at least 100 minutes of video, and sitting in the camera after 2 weeks, I can still take photos without a recharge. The Promaster which were fully charged (but left to sit outside the camera for 3 days) needed charging as soon as I put them in the camera. I haven't taken my trip yet, but I don't plan on taking the Promaster batteries even as a backup. With 8 ENELOOPS and a battery charger, I think I'll be fine.Customer Review: Everything they're hyped up to be

I used these batteries for my Nikon Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) + Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras for a week. Took 2074+ photos, 1034+ of which the flash fired, all on the same 4 batteries. During the 1040+ the flash didn't fire, it was still on ready.
So I don't have any electrical ratings but I can say I'll never put another battery in my camera. I have the Nikon MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack for Nikon D300 & D700 Digital SLR Cameras grip, and used the batteries there as well. However I did re-charge them daily because I didn't know how long they'd last so I can't give you any numbers on that one.
Customer Review: Exactly what we needed

We were looking for rechargeable AA batteries for our son's and daughter's Leapster 2 handhelds. The Energizers we were using would simply not work, not sure if it was a voltage issue or if the batteries we were putting in were fully charged.....even though we fully charged the batteries a couple of times and put them in the Leapster 2 to make sure. I will say the Energizers work perfectly in our Wii remotes, but back to the Eneloops. The reviews for the Eneloops were outstanding so we gave them a chance and purchased the 8 pack prior to Christmas so our kids could use their new Leapster games they received. The Eneloops worked right out of the package and we still as of today Thursday, January 13, 2011 have not had to recharge the batteries in either Leapster 2. This is a huge savings over the Leapster Recharge Station which are $30 a piece or so. The best thing I can say about these batteries is that I will be buying them again.Customer Review: The VERY BEST Batteries!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these amazing batteries for over three years now, and no other rechargeable batteries come anywhere near the performance of these, both in reliability (with all of the other brands I use there is always at least one in the bunch that won't charge after a few uses), and how long they hold the charge.
They are especially well suited for items you may not use as frequently, such as a flashlight (you need something you can rely on when the power goes out!), or remote controls. I've also purchased the AAA's with the same success. I more recently bought another brand that was on sale and claimed to be this type, but they're pure junk Over time I've been replacing all my rechargeable batteries with these, as they continually out-perform all of the others (including Maha, Duracell, & Energizer).
Bottom Line: Even if these excellent batteries are more expensive than most, they are well worth it.
Customer Review: Best NiMH batteries to date
Summary: 5 Stars
These batteries do their job - they hold their charge remarkably well (for both low and high drain purposes - they're perfect for just about anything), and they're pretty much the only NiMH batteries I've ever had that actually hold more power than their 2000mah advertised capacity - mostly all of my eneloops hold around or over 2100mah.
Compared with regular NiMH's (of which I have plenty as well) - which almost never hold their advertised capacity but either slightly or significantly below it - getting these is a no brainer.
The plastic case that comes bundled is actually quite useful for carrying them around (e.g. as backup batteries for your digicam).
One thing I'd point out is that the price of 2 4-unit packs appears to be consistenly lower than one 8-unit pack, and having two 4-battery plastic cases is probably more useful than one 8-unit plastic case.
