Product Description

Rayovac Hybrid rechargeable batteries come pre-charged and ready to use. This battery technology also takes NiMH rechargeables to a new level. While all batteries self-discharge over time, Rayovac Hybrid NiMH batteries hold their charge better than many traditional NiMH batteries, while not in use. This means that customers can now charge their batteries and know that when they need them, Hybrid batteries will be ready to go without having to go into the charger again. Lasting longer in high-drain devices than regular alkaline, and being able to recharge over and over again mean convenience and value to your customers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top performers, June 3, 2007

These are the best AA & AAA batteries I've ever bought. The mfg's claims that they hold on to a charge longer are basically true... far longer. The other "higher capacity" batteries I've used haven't given me as much usage between charges as these Hybrid types, so I am very satisfied.

What would have made them perfect is if I could have bought a smart charger (the kind that can charge in 4 hrs and handle single cells, not just pairs) bundled with them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheapest Price for the new breeds of popular brand, June 20, 2008

These are the new breed of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Now you can use them for your TV remotes, clocks and other devices where you need longer shelf lives. One of the reasons why NiMh batteries have become so popular was the proliferation of digital cameras. But for the casual shooters who sometimes leave there batteries in their cameras for weeks and pick it up for another special occasion, they often found it as a surprise that their batteries are depleted. Not with these new type of batteries.

Pros:

-Low discharge. Ordinary NiMh batteries discharges even just sitting on the shelf.

- Works with your existing NiMh battery chargers.

-Conventional size and dimension. I had other batteries that I have to use a screwdriver to remove from my camera because it is fatter.

-Cheapest price as compared to comparables (Eneloops, Duracell)

Cons:

- More expensive than ordinary NiMh

5.0 out of 5 stars Still using these batteries for almost 2 years, February 9, 2010

First time I've owned rechargeable batteries at home without having to chuck after 1 year; probably because one charge lasts 4 months in my wireless keyboards, mice and WII controllers with heavy use. Hybrid technology allows for a longer shelf life which seems to help; I keep a backup set of 8 for when the other set of 8 drains and no problems using set of batteries I charged 4 months ago. Wish they were v1.5 instead of v1.2 but has really made no difference for me...also no problems with low end digital camera use...I believe in lithium for higher end digital cameras. Can't go wrong with these. Some people tend to recharge without draining or discharging first but I haven't tried this abuse to see results. Also used in Rayovac recharger which has gotten terrible reviews; despite that I didn't have any problems with Rayovac charger I purchased the highly recommended Sanyo eneloop recharger at my office to recharge these same batteries and test out.
