1.0 out of 5 stars Does not deliver rated capacity, December 14, 2009

The average capacity of four brand-new cells measured less than 1600 mAh at a 1000 mA (0.3C) discharge rate. This is worse than the Tenergy AA cells, and far worse than typical Energizer or Duracell NiMH batteries. This product is representative of the cheap, low capacity non-namebrand batteries that have been flooding the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost worthless, May 29, 2010

I ordered a set of these batteries and ran them through the refresh cycle on my La Crosse battery charger, only to find that the capacity of the batteries ranged from 1,400-1,600 mAh. So I returned them for a replacement, and the replacement set of batteries is even worse! These batteries have been through about a dozen charge/discharge cycles and then a test cycle which reported their capacity as: 1232, 1240, 1324, and 1404 mAh. These batteries seem to be extremely cheaply made. They also feel lighter and are slightly smaller than an old set of 2500 mAh batteries that I was planning to replace with these. I guess now it's time to find a better brand of batteries because I seriously doubt any battery made by this company could ever come close to the capacity they claim.
