I've used Kodak's 1850mAh NiMH batteries for about a year in my Olympus C-4000, and they're fantastic. I can get hundreds of (daylight) shots, or several weeks of intermittent use, before needing to recharge. With its higher capacity, the 2100mAh battery should be even better.

These high capacity NiMH batteries work great in frequent use/high drain devices, such as cameras, flashlights, PDA's, CD players, toys, etc. Unlike NiCads, they don't contain the toxic heavy metal cadmium. They aren't subject to any significant "memory effect," so they don't need to be discharged fully before recharging. They will outperform both NiCads and throwaway alkaline batteries in high drain devices, and can be recharged more than 500 times. Their only disadvantage is that they self-discharge over time, losing 1-2% of their capacity per day. Alkaline batteries are still the best bet for low drain devices such as clocks and remote controls.

With the appropriate adapters, such as those sold by Star Batteries, you can even use your NiMH AA's in your C and D cell flashlights!

For best results, charge these in a charger designed for NiMH batteries. For longest battery life use a smart charger that protects against both overcharging and overheating, and signals when charging is complete.

These batteries are green in color, not red as shown. They are made by Sanyo in Japan & are of excellent quality. They last really long. Get only the Kodak Charger & NOT other brand, i had the bad experience in mixing battery & charger from diff brands.

Now, i got more of these & use them in toys, kitchen electrics etc. etc. Got some Kodak AAA as well & each charge lasts 3 months or so in my wireless mouse.

I am very pleased with this product in that it performs as advertised. I am using these in a Kodak digital camera and have recharged them several times in the past month. When fully charged they last as long as a non-rechargeable and have already paid for themselves.

Product was originally shipped with package opened and 2 batteries missing. Amazon immediately replaced the item when notified with no hassle.

Perhaps it is just the difference between 2100mAH vs 2300mAH, but these Kodak batteries do not work near as well as my Energizers in cameras that use 2 batteries.

In my Z990, which uses 4 batteries, they work pretty well.

...are difficult to find in local stores without the charger. Very happy I found them on Amazon. They are well worth the money as the charge lasts a long time in a digital camera taking scores of pictures before having to be recharged. They can be recharged many times before having to discard in an environmentally safe manner.

Some hold carges longer than others. I also bought AAA and I need 3 for my device. They only last about 3 hours.

Just as listed. Great Kodak product. I use these for my digital camera. 1 pair in my camera & 1 charged as a spare. Great price too.

I ordered a 4-pack of Kodak rechargeable batteries, size AA, from Amazon, to use in my digital camera. I received them and used them. But they did not last very long in my digital camera before going dead. (I have another set that works just fine, also Kodak brand, purchased at Wal-Mart). I recharged these batteries and used them again. Again, they did not hold the charge very long. I recharged them a third time and set them aside until I needed them (meanwhile, I was using the first set I had bought at Walmart). When I finally put the set from Amazon in the camera for the third time, my camera indicated that they had a low charge. I put them in the charger and it indicated that they had a full charge. So I put them back in my camera and they ended up lasting about 15 minutes before they went dead. I am very upset with Amazon's return policy because they expect ME to pay for shipping these heavy defective things back to them.

I recently bought 7 packages of these battereis. I have used them for years, however I am very unhappy with the lastest batch. They will not take a charge right out of the package!

I've always been happy with Kodak products. They are always superior quality and last for a long time. I'm sure the batteries will be the same.... They work great now and keep a charge longer than the ones I bought from the store. So all is good.
