I have bought 2-3 packs of these batteries, all disappointments. You'd think such a simple thing was basically failsafe, right? Nope. I thought I had just gotten a bad batch the first time. Nope again. The only way I can use these batteries is if I charge them right before I need them. I can't even tell you how many times I went to go play Wii and then realized ALL of these batteries were dead. Even worse was I had charged them fully no more than 2 days prior. Total garbage in my opinion, my brother even had some which all do the same thing as well. So, unless you are extremely organized and plan out when you want to play video games, use TV remotes, etc... spend your money on anything but these. The Energizer bunny has sh** itself and died.

I decided to buy a whole bunch of rechargeable batteries and the charger (at Sam's Club) and get prepared for the big one (earthquake).
So I bought these home and man it really took a long time to charge them up.
The charger got very hot after the second round of 4 AA batteries.
The AA ones in this charger are 2450mAh and those in the separate packs are only 2300mAh or less. This will dictate the charging time.
The AAA ones are only 850mAh and took less than an hour to charge.
I felt happy and ready for any disaster after I got them all charged over night.
Then, when I used 3 of the AA batteries in my bluetooth wireless Apple keyboard, and I looked at the power monitor, it shows only 76% charged. And I used another 2 AA batteries in the Apple Wireless Might Mouse, it shows as only 74% charged. What!? I just had them fully charged!!!
What's worse, the lasting power of the energizer bunny is gone!!! After a weekend of not being home (so really they are just on stand by), the power monitor shows the keyboard at only 37% and the mouse at only 50%!!!! This comes really shocking to me. Because normally if I use non-rechargeable Duracell batteries, they last about 2-3 months on my keyboard and 1-2 months on my mouse. Now, these newly charged batteries didn't even last 1 week and they are down to less than half of the power.
I think I might just use them for a couple more months and see how they perform. If this continues, I will just return them to Sams Club.
But I am giving them only 2 stars right now because the energizer bunny is dead...

These batteries seem to have decent storage and perform well in my Canon Flash however the charger worked well for a month or so then it would take 3 minutes to get the batteries to align for charging. I wish it worked well because the size is very nice for travel. It does come with enough batteries that it is proabably still a decent value and worth buying. My suggestion is use the charger until it has problems and then find a good replacement.

I have Energizer rechargeable batteries in size D, C, AA and AAA with the Energizer charger. They work reasonably well, except for the AAA batteries which don't hold a charge and don't last long (only 2-3 hours in the receiver for my child's room monitor), even if I put the batteries in right after they have been charged. Don't waste your money. I have used Eneloop batteries AAA and have been impressed. They lasted several days in the monitor and I used them straight out of the box (precharged).

I bought 3 packs of these batteries and a charger to charge them overseas. Upon getting to where I was traveling to, I tried to charge the batteries for my use only to discover that the charger would not work. I tried severally but end up getting another charger which was so expensive. I have tried to send the charger back to the manufacturer for repairs but they would not accept it but instead offering monetary offer. I consider buying this a waste of money and waste of time altogether.

The recharger that came with this pack was poor frlom the beginning, being difficult to align. After six months, this Chinese made wonder of technology does not work at all. Energizer rechargable batteries on the whole are O.K. but I have gotten more duds than with Rayovac or Duracel. Definitely do not buy this, it is just poorly made junk.

There is no reason for this charger to exist. It will annoy you, it does not charge batteries well, and it will make you swear off rechargeable batteries. Do not buy.

I bought few packs of these... I used them once or twice in my camera then I let them sit for a month. Now they won't even hold a charge. Waste of money. I will go back to regular batteries until i find a brand that works.

If you want batteries that will hold a charge after several rechargings - presumably why you're considering these batteries - then look elsewhere.

After no more than half a dozen rechargings, the batteries will not fully charge and are useless for the camera that we (hoped to) use them in.

I don't know whether the fault lies with the batteries or with the charger, but this product is terrible. What a waste of my money.

Absolutely horrible. Getting the batteries to charge requires at least 10 minutes of alignment each time. Go with the duracell 15 minute charge, or pretty much anything besides this one.
