Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, 4-pack
Customer Review: one dead on arrival, the other three have shockingly-short lives
Summary: 1 Stars
The worst product I've ever bought (or I've ever bought from Amazon). If I can rate 0/5, I will do it.
Out of the four batteries I received, one battery is simply dead and cannot be charged. period.
The other three batteries do not have enough voltage to make Nintendo Wii remote control work even after they are fully charged.
Then I somehow salvaged on to power my Oral-B tooth-brush, saying the f-word every time I brush my teeth, since the batteries still do not have enough voltage even in this simple application and quickly run out of power each week.
I am using La Crosse battery charger and my last alkaline battery drove my tooth-brush for a whole year.
Customer Review: average--not better, not worse
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the Sony brand because of many positive user comments, but for me they seem to be average. For me, they failed to recharge and died out at about 12 to 14 months of use, like the Energizer brand.Customer Review: Crappy Battery
Summary: 1 Stars
Batteries last 1/2 the time I replaced them with. The ones I replaced were over a year old and still lasted twice as long as these.Customer Review: Not as expected
Summary: 1 Stars
UPDATE: These are high-capacity batteries **NOT** low self-discharge batteries. I did not know the difference at the time of purchase, and the description does not make that clear. If you are a casual battery user and want batteries that will sit on the shelf and stay charged, make sure you buy LSD batteries, typically around 2000 mAh. The "pre-charged" rechargeables are a quick sign that they are LSD (Kodak, Enloop, even Duracell).
Quick summary: will not hold a charge for more than a very short time when not in use. Stay clear of these if you are not looking to use them immediately after charging!
I've had excellent experience with the Cyber-shot labeled batteries from a handful of Sony point-and-shoots and decided to give these a try last December, 2008. I received both this pack and the charger for Christmas and looked forward to finally having enough rechargeables around the house to end our dependence on regular batteries. I was wrong. These batteries perform well when freshly charged. But, if you are looking for batteries that you can charge ahead of time and leave them sitting, ready to use at any time, stay clear. I'll charge them up (using a Sony charger) and will come back to them a week later and they are completely dead. Pretty much useless. These are Silver with Orange ends. My Cyber-shot batteries (blue with orange ends) are years old and still perform well. Very disappointed is these new ones.
Customer Review: Long lasting, great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I sometimes use these for weeks in the camera without having to change them. I've been using this brand and model for several years. It took over two years for the first set to wear out (and not hold a charge well).
