The Rayovac site identifies these batteries as 1800 mAh. These batteries will outperform alkaline (disposable) batteries by about 300% in high-drain electronics.

However, you can get 2500 mAh (that's about a 38% improvement over these 1800mAh) NiMH rechargable batteries for about the same price.

I primarily tried this battery over other name brand competitors as it is generally $1-2 cheaper per 4 AA batteries. I have used the batteries for about 6 months and found that the AA batteries hold a full charge with each use and recharging. I primarily use the batteries in my portable CD player and wireless video game controllers. I find I generally get about 35-40 hours of play time for my CD player, and about 150 hours of play time for my wireless videogame controller.

I was worried about what the mAh of these batteries would be (higher will last longer). I received them today and they are 2000mAh, not 1800 as listed on their site. Hope this helps yall, since Amazon does not list the mAh.

The batteries were packed well and received quickly.

These are great to use on baby toys (as well as your big kid toys)... just buy an extra set so you can always have a set charging while the other is in the toy.

The only reason I mention that is because the batteries do run down kind of quickly, and take up to 8 hours to fully charge.

But I'm not complaining... while there is an initial investment, think of the money you'll save on buying new batteries all the time. And you'll be doing a small part for the environment by not throwing out batteries all the time.

pretty much I bought a charger for these batteries and ended up getting some batteries as well. overall they last long and the charger I have has a fast recharge time.

I bought the 8 pack of these batteries and they've worked without any problems. I don't have other 2500 mAh batteries to compare but these seem to last much longer than my other set of name brand NiMH batteries (which are only 2000 mAh).

A nice deal on Nickel-metal hydride battery. they have much more power storage than alkaline battery and 1.2 voltage is acceptable in most devices. Combined with FREE shipping of Amazon orders made this a nice item.

I recieved Rayovac NM715-8 2000mAh, not Rayovac NM715-8 1800mAh.
Rayovac claims this battery lasts 3X longer than standard alkaline battery, but in fact it does not. Two of this fully charged batteries died after 2.5 hrs when I used them for my Garmin I3 while two of Duracell alkaline batteries gave me almost 6 hrs. I recharged the two batteries over night and tried again, I got the same result. I would not recomment this product to anyone!

I was drawn by the price and the b=name- Rayovac. Should have paid more attention to the Mah rating. They just don't compare in holding capacity or long lasting, ready when you are abilities with stronger, (slightly) more expensive batteries. At $2 apiece they really aren't much cheaper than you can find shopping around for 2500 Mah AAs. Like Duracell or Sony. In my camera the Rayovac dropped from full to 2/3 full (on camera gauge) after a few shots. Others would show full for 30. They work, but takes at least 3 to equal 2 good batteries. Won't buy again.

these items arrived on time and as described. Rayovac rechargeabe batteries in the AA and AAA sizes have always worked great for me. They keep their first charge even longer than regular batteries so they sometimes outlast them before even needing a recharge. I wish the larger size rayovac rechargeables were as good performers as the AA and AAA. Don't forget to order the rayovac multi-size battery recharger
