Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, 4-pack
Customer Review: Way better than the Duracells or Photo Accu of the same size
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of three types of rechargeable AAs I've purchased on Amazon. The other two were Photo Accu and Duracell. I also have the Duracell AAA and they work quite well in MP3 players and remotes, but the Duracell AA version runs out of charge quickly EVERY TIME. The Photo Accu brand also ran out of charge quickly and in addition never charged all the way up after a few times (or at least they kept lasting less time). And the Duracell mAH (milliampere hour) rating for their AAs is 2650 while these Sony AAs are only listed at 2500mAH so the Duracells SHOULD be better (on paper).
These Sony batteries do very well in each device I tried them in. I use them in my Panasonic 7MP digital camera, my Logitech Trackman, my mini flashlight, and remote controls. They last FOREVER. The Duracells in the Trackman and camera run out of charge very quickly. In fact, my Trackman begins to act strange prior to running out of charge; it becomes an intermittent issue that I first suspected was due to my USB connection or the distance from the trackball to its receiver. As soon as I replaced the Duracells with these I had no more problems. And they don't make the device intermittent when they run out of charge, either. The trackball just stops working, which is less confusing for me.
Customer Review: Digital Camera ? - Buy SONY Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are buying double A (AA) batteries for your digital
camera then you definately want to purchase these SONY
rechargeables.
If you don't own a quick recharger, I recommend you purchase
one at the same time.
Don't even think about Eveready or Duracell rechargeables,
they will not provide you with the longevity of service that
the Sony or Panasonic rechargeables will.
I'm talking from experience... the Eveready or Duracell
rechargeable batteries WILL NOT be there for you when you
need them... they start to lose their charge starting almost
immediately and when you need them, they won't even power on
your camera. You can't keep them in your camera bag more than
a few days, sometimes less than a week and they are useless.
The SONY batteries are all together better, they last much
longer in the camera and in reserve in your camera bag.
Just my opinion from experience... Have a great day!
Customer Review: Last WAY longer than alkaline
Summary: 5 Stars
These are my first rechargeable batteries, so all I can say is that in comparison to alkaline, these are WAY better and longer losting. Alkalines stop working in digital cameras long before they are actually used up, because they can't supply the required current for high-demand devices. These Sonys last much more than 4x as long because alkalines only work for a few minutes. These Sonys maintain their voltage at a stable level. I am using them in an Olympus C-755 digital camera, and I charge them using the Sony BCG-34HE4 charger. I can't say exactly how many pictures you can take on one charge, because they last for so long I lose track. If you have a digital camera, you absolutely must use rechargeable Nimh batteries. Don't waste your money on the expensive "high-end" alkalines or non-rechargeable lithium, etc. Also, you are doing the environment a favor by not using toxic landfill filler.Customer Review: Sony Batteries Work Great - Good Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I found myself buying batteries in the biggest packages I could find... and was buying those packages twice a year. I was burning through 40+ batteries each year powering remotes, beard trimmer, optical mouse and wireless keyboard, etc. Needless to say, this was not a very environmentally friendly practice... so I found that the switch was not just economical, but a moral necessity. Now, I am saving money, powering my peripherals at a constant voltage, and not discarding pounds of batteries each year. I own all sorts of brands of these things, and the Sony batteries hold up just as well as any. A good purchase all around.
One piece of advice: remember to buy four extra to have charged and ready to go... most chargers require a bit of time between plugging and playing.
Customer Review: The best rechargable AA batteries I've ever used!
Summary: 5 Stars
The reviews for my new Canon S3 camera warned that the camera would eat thru batteries quickly. I wasn't interested in using disposable batteries and always had several sets of Nimh batteries for an older Minolta digital camera that really couldn't get thru 50 to 70 photos before draining rechargable batteries. Taking a chance on a new set of Sony 2500 batteries, I bought two packs, charged one pack, put them in the camera and went on vacation for two weeks. At the end of the vacation I finally counted the number of photos I took, over 400 and the batteries showed no sign of quitting! Never had to recharge them or use the second pack either.
These take a while to charge up and they will get very hot in the charger. Very recommended.
