User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great Backup.
Bought this for the Flip Ultra HD as a backup in case I was out and needed extra power. The battery lasts for a little over a hour of recording. Since the Ultra HD has 2 hrs worth of memory its a good idea to have a backup battery pack. Great to get that extra recording out of the way in case you dont have axcess to a computer. Battery only charges while inside the camera and has to be hooked to the computer(unless you have a Flip AC adapter. Overall a good extra accesory to have around.

5 Stars works great! better than replaing my batteries all the time
works great- never have had this thing die on me. I have recorded 2-3 hours on one charge. I have used this in the ultrahd and the mino

5 Stars Works great
This is awesome, it has worked perfectly for me. I love not buying batteries all the time. I use my Flip camera a lot and this battery had not failed me. I would recommend to anyone.

1 Star The battery quits on you just at the wrong time
I’m a HUGE Flip video fan. I have one and use it all the time and recommend it to everyone. I have 2 but my favorite is the Flip Ultra HD. However, I’ve given up on the Flip rechargeable battery option — have had two and both are unreliable. As much as I hate to use non-rechargeable batteries, I find that unless I do, my Flip will quit on my just at the worst possible times. I carry it to capture fun moments with family and friends, and you can’t do that with a dead Flip.

5 Stars Don’t Leave Home Without It!
I love my Flip camera and all the accessories and recommend that everyone one have at least one of their very own. [...]

5 Stars These are not self discharging
This is the only kind of battery to buy, The hybreds don’t self discharge like regular NIMAs. Does Anyone want a a bunch of NIMAs that are dead when you are ready for use???

5 Stars Simply Awesome.
I always hated NIMH batteries because they lose their charge so fast. I have 20 year old NiCad rechargeables that work better. However, neither type stands up the new “low self-discarging” (LSD) NIMH batteries that Eneloop has popularized. I installed Eneloops in both my Wii Remote and Balance Board. They have held their charge over six months now and have worked flawlessly throughout this time. According the Wii Remote I still have 3 of 4 dots of power left.

I also have two AAA Eneloops that I installed into a Harmony Remote Control. Because the remote takes four batteries I also installed two new alkaline batteries. The alkalines have already wore out and need replacement yet the Eneloops are still going strong.

If you need batteries, just get these and you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t already own a battery recharger, the so-called Sanyo 277265 Eneloop Power Pack with Battery Charger, 8 AA & 2 AAA Batteries Plus 4 C & 4 D Size Adapter (CostCo Kit #2) is a good place to start.

3 Stars Decent Batteries
I was looking for a good rechargeable battery with at least 2000 mAh. I decided to buy eight each of the following three types of batteries:

Duracell DC1500B4N Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries (2650 mAh)

Powerex AA 2700mAh Rechargeable NiMH Batteries (2700 mAh)

Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (2000 mAh)

I’m posting this same review for all three batteries.

I also bought a La Crosse BC-9009 battery charger (which, apart from the manual, is quite excellent). This charger gives you the option to test battery capacity, so I used it on the 24 batteries that I bought. Granted, a sample space of 24 batteries is quite small, but it’s good enough.

The Duracells came in at 1547, 1399, 951, 2200, 2220, 2180, 940 and 905 mAh for an average of 58% of rated capacity (avg. 1543 mAh / 2650 mAh).

The Powerex came in at 2620, 2560, 2570, 2630, 2440, 2470, 1318 and 1053 mAh for an average of 82% of rated capacity (avg. 2208 mAh / 2700 mAh).

The Sanyos came in at 1940, 1867, 1931, 1961, 1856, 734, 1786 and 1895 mAh for an average of 87% of rated capacity (avg. 1746 mAh / 2000 mAh).

Although the Sanyos 87% is better than the Powerex’s 82%, the powerex comes out better from a cost perspective. The Duracell’s were not even in the running.

In September 2009, for 8 batteries, the Duracells cost me $22.22, the Powerexs cost me $25.98 and the Sanyos cost $24.41.

Based on this, the Powerex’s cost $1.47 per Ah. The Sanyo’s were $1.74 per Ah and the Duracells were $1.80 per Ah.

Given all this, I’d say the Sanyo’s were decent, the Duracell’s were losers, but when I need more batteries I’ll stick with the Powerexs.

5 Stars Amazing!
Don’t bother with any other rechargeable batteries, these things are the best I’ve ever used. Their longevity is absurd. You can leave them sitting around in a drawer or even leave them in the item you are using them for months at a time and they are still charged. Got them initially for my Canon PowerShot SX10IS and was worried about having to recharge AA batteries constantly, but these completely allayed my fears. Love them!

5 Stars Long Life; Good Capacity
I am not a battery expert, but I do know that these things hold their charge for a LONG time. I have these Eneloops and I have Energizers. (I use both for my GPS and my daughters camera.) While the Energizers have greater capacity than the Eneloops, the Eneloops definitely hold their charger longer.

If my calculations are correct, my Eneloops have about a 2000 mha capacity.

4 Stars Better than buying disposal batteries
I purchased these batteries to use with my digital camera. They work great and were worth the purchase.

5 Stars Perfect for digital camera
Not sure how Duracell did it, but they solved the one con with the Ni-mH type batteries. These pre-charged, Ni-mH batteries don’t discharge when not being used, so they’re perfect for digital devices. This charger with 4 batteries doesn’t cost much more than just the 4 batteries alone. Here’s what you do: acquire twice as many of these batteries w/ the green label as what your digital camera will take. While you’re using one set in your camera keep the other set in this charger. Then, when the set in the camera go dead, just swap them out with the set that’s in the charger. You’ve always got a set of fresh batteries and no waiting for batteries to charge, plus no buying batteries for a long time. This is more expensive initially but saves a lot of $$$ in the long run.

1 Star Duracell rechargable – NiMH Batteries
At the beginning the charger was doing it’s job, but now the batteries don’t hold the charge as advertised. Very dissapointed with this item.

5 Stars Super service!
I found out that I couldn’t get a small tape recorder from Radio Shack locally so I went to Amazon.com to order it on August 1. The charger was ordered at that time also. I wanted it for my friend’s birthday on the 5th. I was very happy that it arrived on time–I think on the 3rd of August.

Thanks, Madeline Ashley

5 Stars It works well
Batteries are fine, the charger works fine. No problems. It keeps my stuff powered, and haven’t given me problems at all..

It’s a NO-BS product. Get it if you need rechargeable batteries and a charger…

1 Star Battery becomes useless
I bought this battery 3 months ago and it doesn’t recharge anymore. It will say recharged full on my camera and less than 1 minute later it will be completely out of power. I’d say I recharged it maybe 7-8 times in the past 3 months. It worked just fine and was an excellent back up while it lasted, but now it’s completely useless. So if you plan on really using your camera battery, get the official Sony one. I’ve had that for over 2 years and still works great.

5 Stars Great replacment battery
I got this as a second battery for my Sony DSC-W120, and it works flawlessly so far. My camera did not complain about the off-brand part.

5 Stars A good and budget friendly replacement battery
I purchased two of these batteries for my Sony DSC H20. I am a practical person when it comes to cost. These batteries delivers the power that you need for your digital camera. Just like any rechargeable batteries, regardless of what brand the manufacturer puts on, it will slowly loose it’s full potential within two years. Batteries are batteries. It doesn’t matter to me if it was an energizer, duracell, rayovac or a generic brand battery. What is important is that this particular battery is compatible with the G type Sony Nimh batteries, and only cost a fraction of the original equipment manufacturer’s price. Believe me, you will get your money’s worth by getting this extra batteries. My son just recently went to Disneyland, and by using this camera in P mode without flash, he was still able to take over 150 pictures and video clips the entire day just by using one Nimh battery. Just buy it and you won’t regret it.

5 Stars Excellent Purchase!
This battery is just as good as the name brand and holds the charge just as long. Have been extremely pleased and would highly recommend. And for the price I paid, bought several for the same as if I’d purchased one of the name brands.

5 Stars Very good
It’s really worth the price and it works very, very well! You can buy it without any worry.
