Relatively to my Energizer 2300mAH batteries, its made, actual capacity, charger compatibility, and power recycle rate are a little disappointed. For example, the Energizer can sustain about 200 shoots on my Nikon SB800 camera flashlight, but this will only last a couple shoots before the power recycle wait time doubles.

*Update: These units are actually overrated batteries. Actual capacity of the AA batteries is about 800mAH, and about 350mAH for the AAA batteries. Do not use it on high power demanding devices. I tried them on my Palm Z21, Sony mp3 players, wireless mouse, shaver, and remote controls and these batteries are absolute adequate and last quite awhile. Also keep in mind that these batteries are not compatibility with all battery chargers out there, I can get them charged on GEDIGEN batteries USB charger, but not the other two cheaper battery chargers I owned.

Ownership verified by DX Limited usefulness

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: - The price is great;
- Build quality seems good enought;

Cons: - Not even close to 2500mAh;
- Doesn't hold the charge very long;
- Ugly appearence (but who cares?);

Other Thoughts: Ideal for clocks and remote controllers, though you need to recharge it quite often.
So far they are holding ok in my remotes and didn't leak yet, like others I've tried.

Bottomline: Don't buy this if you plan to use on MP3 players or others high-consumption devices.
Use them instead of normal AA batteries and help to save our planet :)

Ownership verified by DX great but not for everything...

Pros: does the job it is asked
Charge on my charger without any issue
nice green, really give the nce "no-name feeling xD

Cons: do not use those batteries on very demanding devices such as cameras, their battery life is tooo poor and you would run out of battery way too soon

Other Thoughts: they work fine but since they are cheap do not ask them too much!
They are perfect for wireles mice or remotes

Bottomline: Not great batteries, but you can save a lot of money by using them for everyday items such as remotes and mouse of computer etc...

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Works great. I have a bunch of outside solar-rechargable garden LED lights for the walking path. I replaced the old NiCads with these and these work great. They recharge nicely each day, and stay bright a lot longer than the old NiCads did. Price is excellent too.

Cons: No complaints except just that they're plain green color (no big deal).

Other Thoughts: I'm using mine outdoors (solar rechargable garden LED lights).

Bottomline: I don't know how they are in high-drain equipment, but for what I use them for (rechargable outside LED lights) they work great. I ordered a 2nd set. Price is right.

Ownership verified by DX Very cheap rechargeable batteries

Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: + They maybe the cheapest rechargeable batteries around
+ Good enough for low-draining devices

Cons: - Capacity of each battery seem to vary, but definitely way below the stated capacity
- One was dead after about 3 recharges

Other Thoughts: These batteries are only good for devices that don't draw too much power such as clocks, remote controls, cheap flashlights, etc.

Bottomline: If you always need to change batteries for your low draining devices and don't like to spend too much on rechargeables, these are good enough for your needs. But if you want reliability, get better batteries.
