4.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good...
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars Bought 2 and neither worked
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...

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad...., August 5, 2005
This review is from: Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries (Electronics)
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....

(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!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad, bad bad..., April 7, 2008
This review is from: Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries (Electronics)
Only worked the first time the batteries were charged. After the second time, it says the batteries are full after 2 or 3 min, and they never get more than a few minutes of charge in my Canon S5IS. Had to buy another charger.

1.0 out of 5 stars Digipower DPS-5000, February 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries (Electronics)
I purchased this product despite the negative reviews I had read. This was a mistake as this product was no goog right out of the box. It did not charge the batteries longer than 5 minutes. I had to keep unplugging it so it would continue to charge. After all this, the batteries were still not charged. It would have cost more to send it back so I just shelved it with a goog lesson learned. Listen to the reviews next time.

I was excited when I found these batteries and charger. It stated the batteries would charge in one hour and that they did. Let down was that they only last not even twenty minutes. Biggest waste of my money ever spent. Please don't waste your money on this item.

I bought this as an adjunct to the new Canon camera I bought.. it is certainly a convenience to always have batteries available when needed. The charger does what it says and charges very quickly. You can charge 4 at a time and always have a spare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Digipower rechargeable batteries work as advertised, May 12, 2008

The batteries charge quickly and hold their charge for about 200 digital photos. Power drops off quickly once the batteries lose their charge, so be ready with replacement batteries - otherwise you may lose some great photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect...for my busy lifestyle, May 1, 2007

This review is from: Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit with 4 AA 2700 mAh Batteries (Electronics)
i came across these by accident and i am SO happy! when i purchased this kit (with the provided low level/use batteries) i also puchased a higher level battery so they would last longer. when i travel i bring all of my batteries with (since i can charge them in the car or with a standard outlet).
the thing i learned early on with my rechargeable batteries is that you cannot mix batteries and chargers. you must use the charger that is provided (so purchase loads of batteries for your desired brand or locate them when you need more). the only drawback i've found is that it's difficult to locate the AAA batteries (AA seems to be easy to find).
one last note...when i needed more batteries, i contacted the digipower company and they were great at helping me locate just what i needed. they make battereis. that's it.
good luck with wherever your batteries take you...
