1.0 out of 5 stars Bought 2 and neither worked, April 1, 2005

This review is from: Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries (Electronics)

I purchased 2 of these units. I plugged in both and waited for the batteries to charge. The first unit claimed that the batteries were fully charged after about 15 minutes, but they only lasted about 30 minutes in my Garmin Rino 130 (should have lasted several hours). Trying again the charger indicated fully charged again in 15 minutes. Apparently no good. The second set continued to charge and after about 3 hours the unit overheated and melted with the batteries expanding and leaking.

This is not a good charger-seems like it doesn't charge the batteries to full capacity. Can't get more than max an 1 hour and half out of these batteries with my Canon S2. Basically they seem to suck-big time. I've already charged them like 3 times before even starting to learn the camera!! Maybe they will become better after a while-don't know....

I didn't know what capacity of batteries this kit would come with, but it arrived with 4 2400mAh AAs. I haven't done any comparative experiments but they are letting me take lots of pictures. The charger took about an hour (I think a bit less) to charge the 4, and the kit comes with a car adapter for when you're on the road. If the batteries hold up over time, I think this is a good product. (side note: I just saw in Costco a Panasonic system of a rapid charger (1-3 hrs), carrying case, car adapter, 8 2300 mAh AAs, and 2 750 mAh AAAs for a little under $25!)
