1.0 out of 5 stars Poor performance and no support from the manufacturer, February 2, 2009

I bought about ten sets of these batteries, I figured NiMH cells were all pretty much the same. I was wrong. After two break-in cycles on my Maha C-9000 charger then a refresh and analyze cycle it reports average capacity as approx 1200mah. The actual capacity ranges between 700mah and 1500mah.

They also initially had problems charging in the charger, it said they were full but i'd only get 5 full power flashes from a Canon 580EX before they wouldn't charge the flash any more. Only the breakin cycles made them work at all. Once I had them charged they really just didn't work well, being very low capacity and just generally not working.

I emailed the manufacturer's support email address and didn't receive a response.

I wouldn't recommend purchasing these batteries.

I bought many sets for my speelites and noticed they didnt hold a charge very long. I bought the la crosse charger which test batteries and they tested between 60 and 1500 mah and they claim to be 2700. these batteries should be taken off the market! the only cool thing about the company was that they refunded me my money.

I had a set of these batteries that served me well for years. But the replacements would not charge properly even in the CTA charger and did not hold a charge. I had to recycle them and get a different brand.
