Cheap Tenergy High capacity NiMH Rechargeable battery package: 12 AA 2600 mAh + 12 AAA 1000 mAh


I purchased both Sanyo eneloop and Tenergy AA & AAA NiMh batteries. I did a capacity test on two sets of each type of battery on BC-700 charger/tester. The results are as follows:

Tenergy AA Capacity Battery 1 = 1137 Battery 2 = 1340
Eneloop AA Capacity Battery 1 = 1884 Battery 2 = 1907

Tenergy AAA Capacity Battery 1 = 747 Battery 2 = 752
Eneloop AAA Capacity Battery 1 = 782 Battery 2 = 795

Tenergy AAA batteries actual capacity is 75% (~750/1000 rated) of rated capacity
Eneloop AAA batteries actual capacity is 99% (~790/800 rated) of rated capacity.

The Tenergy AA batteries actual capacity is only 43% (1127/2600 rated) of rated capacity
The Eneloop AA are closer at 95% (~1900/2000 rated) of rated capacity.

Conclusion, spend a few more bucks and get the good (Eneloop) batteries.

** UPDATE 3/21/10 Tested another 4 Tenergy AA batteries, Battery 1 = 1228mah, Battery 2 = 1189mah, Battery 3 = 1193mah and Battery 4 = 1204mah. I'm not sure how they can call these 2600mah batteries.Get more detail about Tenergy High capacity NiMH Rechargeable battery package: 12 AA 2600 mAh + 12 AAA 1000 mAh.

Purchase 10 390 / 389 Energizer Watch Batteries SR1130SW Cell


Bought these batteries for Swatch watch battery replacements. Drug stores charge $4 (or more) for one cell and this 10 pack was a good deal. Package does not list an expiration date, so I hope they are not expired or close to expiring, but I am using some batteries and the watches are working just fine.Get more detail about 10 390 / 389 Energizer Watch Batteries SR1130SW Cell.

Where To Buy Sanyo Eneloop AAA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries 4 Pack [Hassle Free Packaging]


Great rechargeable battery! I can't keep them supplied in my house. They keep finding more uses in all of our devices. Having a pair on hand is handy and it's nice they keep their charge for so long.

I do tend to label my pairs as I get them so I can keep track on how old they are.Get more detail about Sanyo Eneloop AAA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries 4 Pack [Hassle Free Packaging].

Duracell Mobile Charger With 2AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF23DX2


Awesome feature set, at a good price. The only thing that worries me a bit is that it charges some batteries TOO fast (e.g. under an hour for 850mAh AAA), which might shorten their life, or leave them less-than-fully charged. Then again, the AAA-s it does that with are just regular NiMHs (not Low Self-discharge ones).Get more detail about Duracell Mobile Charger With 2AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF23DX2.

T-6988 10 Channel Smart Charger with 10 Tenergy AA 2600 mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries Immediately


This charger works just the way it is advertised. It is a slow charger that recharges all the different brands of batteries I use. If your batteries are drained it will take all night for a full charge. I like the fact that it holds ten at a time. I store batteries in it so that I'll always have fresh ones when I need them.Get more detail about T-6988 10 Channel Smart Charger with 10 Tenergy AA 2600 mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries.

Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500 Best Quality


I bought these batteries about 2 years ago along with the "Duracell Rechargeable ACCU 15 Minute Charger" that the batteries came with. They claim to last hundreds of charges before being depleted. Within 6 months, one by one each battery either A) would die in a few hours (I'm using them for my Xbox 360 controllers) or B) Won't recharge at all anymore on the docking station. Now I'm down to my final 2 that will even recharge and I basically have to recharge them once every 3-4 days. And I don't even play my video games that much! I'd say about 5-6 hours a week.

I'm shocked Duracell, such a long lasting, reliable company, would make such a shoddy product.Get more detail about Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, 2650mAH, AA size, 8 batteries per pack DC1500.

Energizer E92BP-4 AAA Batteries (4-Pack) Get it now!


Beware bargain hunters, you have not found one. This package arrives fast and looks just like the picture, so all is well, but infact it is JUST like the picture aka only 2 batteries, not 12. The yypo has been here for over a year since I fell for this and ordered the unbelievably low-priced 12-pack in 2008. Just move on.Get more detail about Energizer E92BP-4 AAA Batteries (4-Pack).

Duracell Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries, MIGNON/HR6/DC1500, 8-Count Package (Pack of 2) Buy Now


The picture shows 2650 mAh batteries and the description is vague enough with "2650mAh / 2450 mAh Ideal capacity; ideally suited for powering digital cameras" to actually expect at least one of the two packs to be 2650 mAh. Nevertheless I received 16 batteries with the 2450 mAh capacity. There is no mention of rapid charge compatibility, and it lists 250 mA as the charge current (opposed to up to 1000 mA for rapid charge).

Of course they discharge when stored, and more quickly so than standard alkaline batteries. For our baby toys that's of no consequence as they need fresh batteries all the time.

In the end it wasn't as great of a deal as expected (2650 mAh), but still almost the same price as one pack of 8 in the local store.Get more detail about Duracell Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries, MIGNON/HR6/DC1500, 8-Count Package (Pack of 2).

Lowest Price Duracell Ultra AA Alkaline Batteries, 8-Count Package (Pack of 2)


I use these ultra batteries with my LED hi lumen output bicycle and flashlights. Most bike lights and flashlights eat battery life at least the hi lumen output ones do like 90 to 220 lumens in this case. The regular AAA batteries drained really fast like 30 minutes or so of use. Unless you have the hi end "CREE" bulbs in your device you should invest in these. For "lo stream" or lo usage devices like your remote control any old battery kirkland or generic works fine life wise but hi usage devices require the name brand duracell types and in this case ultras. Digital cameras also should get ultras in them unless you want to risk a dead battery.Get more detail about Duracell Ultra AA Alkaline Batteries, 8-Count Package (Pack of 2).

Cheapest Energizer Photo Battery, Cr2, 2-Count


It's not the batteries that I like most about this product. Since batteries are pretty much all the same. I liked this product because in a singe package it contains to two CR-2 lithium Photo Batteries. Since I bought my Minolta SLR camera from Amazon.com, which require two batteries, this would be a better, and cheaper choice. Plus it's great for the Environment too.Get more detail about Energizer Photo Battery, Cr2, 2-Count.

Cheap Energizer 377BP Watch Battery


Energizer just dont last! That little bunny is a farce and false advertising. Even when rarely used they simple don't last. I bought these to use in my Lasermax in my Beretta 92. I ONLY got 6 month of them just sitting virtually unused before they died. I re-ordered Duracell that I had used previously and THOSE lasted 2 YEARS!!! Thats 4X LONGER than Energizer!!!Get more detail about Energizer 377BP Watch Battery.

Buying NGHP 2/3 Rechargeable Battery For RF Transmitters


I have used these batteries in the remotes I program for my clients and have had great success with them.

Order 10 371 / 370 Energizer Watch Batteries SR920SW Battery


I ordered this on 3/4, received an email saying it shipped on 3/7, and I received it in a padded envelope via USPS on 3/11. Batteries were packed as described on web page; I've just used one so far in one of my quartz watches and it tested fresh...so I trust the other 9 are as well. I expect I'll have another watch to replenish soon. 65 cents a battery. Free shipping. Perfect transaction. I do wish that Energizer put dates on their packages...but that doesn't take away from the overall experience. I would [and will] order from vendor again!Get more detail about 10 371 / 370 Energizer Watch Batteries SR920SW Battery.
