Customer Reviews of Duracell AA 4 Pre-Charged Rechargeable NiMH Batteries DX1500
Customer Review: Every Wireless Gamer's Dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone that uses a wireless controller with their console of choice will certainly tell you that rechargeable batteries are a must. They simply eat up disposable batteries at a rate that would quickly put anyone in the poor house. While some gamers may opt for console branded chargers, it seems smart to invest in a system like Duracell's that you can use in other devices as well.
I have been using Duracell's rechargeable NiMH AA batteries with my wireless controllers for well over a year and have been delighted with them. They recharge quickly and hold enough power to operate both of my controllers for well over 20 hours of actual gaming. Once a pair discharges, I swap them out with another. Using this method, I have never run into an instance where I didn't have a fully charged set at the ready.
These batteries work so well that I decided to also use them in all my remote controls. Despite heavy daily usage, I haven't had one run out of power in over a year. These are certainly rechargeable batteries that any gamer can trust.
Customer Review: My Favorite Rechargable Battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose this package of Duracell Rechargeable NiMH AA Batteries because for my understanding Duracell is the leader in the market of batteries. Although this is first time I see a rechargeable Duracell I felt very happy as they are my favorite's batteries suppliers. I have used several distinct brands and all of them always leave some fault: short durability, fewer recharges, short life, etc. But this time I begun testing these new Duracell's with very good results.
I have a generic charger, I do not know how long time it take to completely charge the four units as I went to sleep after turned on the charger. The true is I found my batteries full charged in the morning. The best news for you is that I installed a pair of them in my Sony Cybershot, I made a session of photos with more than fifty images and my device still shows the batteries full of energy. I am very happy, excellent product with very good price here in Amazon.
Customer Review: Battery exploded
Summary: 1 Stars
The first recharge of 1 of the 4 battries in the first opened package (purchased 2 packages) saw the battery explode!! It was in a proper charger designed for NiMH battery.
My advice is to not allow recharging unless you monitor the recharge process very carefully, i.e. you do not leave the room and unplug the charger when you do.
Further to my experience posted previously, I continued to charge the second Duracell battery matched with a Kodak battery in a Kodak charger. Within minutes, the second Duracell exploded as well.
So out of two Duracell batteries being recharged for the first time, both exploded. I was using a Kodak charger that I have been using for years using both Kodak batteries and older Duracell batteries (all rechargeable, of course).
Fire and flames were not involved, just parts of the battery and a lot of fluid.
I consider this product very dangerous.
Customer Review: Nice Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these for a few months in my camera, Logitech Harmony remote, and in my Wii remotes and they have been great.
However, I was looking at batteries at Walmart today and noticed their new stock of Duracell Precharged batteries are being made in China and no longer have a white cap. They shoved the Japan made white cap batteries to the back of the shelf. This makes me think they are no longer Eneloops. I am a little nervous to buy another set of these as the only reason to make that switch in my opinion is to save money yet charge the consumer the same. This usually leads to an inferior product. The originals I have are made in Japan.
Anyway, maybe the battery review guru of Amazon will do a little comparison test of these new China made precharged batteries vs the Japan made batteries that seemed awfully similar to the Eneloops. I really hope the new version stands up to the old.
Customer Review: Surprisingly fantastic batteries.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using rechargeables for years, but these are in a class of their own.
I received black top batteries, not the white top ones referred to in the previous reviews.
One pair lasted over 500 pictures in my digital camera, whereas a set of camera disposables lasted 200 and my older rechargeables only about 100. All on the same trip and similar conditions across the board in the same camera.
These are the best rechargeable batteries I have ever used. I use a La Crosse smart charger and it does a fantastic job of keeping them charged and in good shape.
It has not been long enough for me to notice any significant loss in power due to time, but I can say they keep their charge just fine for more than a month whereas my old regular rechargeables could not sit in the camera more than a few days without needing a recharge.
Hightly reccomended.
