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

Like several other reviewers, I've found these to be the worst rechargeable batteries I've ever been duped into buying. They're unusable a day after you charge them. It wouldn't matter if you got 32 or 64 of these for $30, you're just buying someone else's toxic waste.

For the price, you can't beat it if you get a good batch I guess. I've ordered this twice (2/07 and 7/07), and so far, all 32 batteries still hold a charge and I'm thinking about getting more.

I use them in my controllers (xbox 360, Wii), Nikon flash, and toys.

I did have a few issue with some of the batteries not being recognized by my LaCrosse charger (BC-900) and I thought they were dead and wasn't too happy. I eventually tried them in another charger and voila - they charged up fine and now they work again in the LaCrosse charger - so before tossing the batteries, try a different charger.

I've read many good reviews about the LaCrosse charger before I bought it, but I'm surprised my older panasonic charger worked.

So I do recommend this - but try and use the batteries right away (multiple charges and discharges) - so if anything, maybe you can return them as defective within 30 days

I have 32 of these batteries, about half of them still work great, however some of them fail to charge or whill go from a 1.4v charge to a 0.0v charge within a couple days just sitting on a table.

While Duracell rechargeables are great, and this seems like a good deal. This specific batch of batteries is definitely defective. they do not hold their charge at all, literally 2 days after you perform a full charge they have no life left. stone dead within a week. you will endlessly be swaping these out!

Duracell is completely aware of the bad batch of batteries when I called them to complain. They are supposedly sending me coupons for replacement batteries after I mail my bad batteries to them, it's been 6 weeks since I first called Duracell and they have not sent the coupons as of yet. I called again today and they still have my case open, but there's no eta on when my coupons will be mailed.

Frustrating!

So even better than expected, these are 2650mAh batteries. Anytime you can get a AA NiMH battery for under $2 each, it's a good deal. I've been using them after one charge in my Nintendo Wii controllers this holiday week (Xmas to New Year's Eve), and I'm still swinging.
