Owned these batteries for approximately 3 years, used constantly first 18 months, then put away for a year, they now will not even think about taking more than a surface charge.

Purchased these to upgrade an older set of Sony's that were only 1900mAh's. These work just as well and have that little bit of extra uumph. I've had two sets (4 each) of the Sony 1900mAh batteries that I've used in my digital camera for 5 years now. I still have one working set (combining different ones as a few have given out) that work at about 50% of their previous glory. I've taken them all over the world and even used them scuba diving down to 100 feet.

These new ones have been through 4 full charges and are working like a charm. Looking forward to five years of great charges!

I bought these batteries because I was desperate at the time and later realized they were rechargeable. I was reading the warnings and other nonsense and was hoping someone could tell me what kind of charger I should use so I don't blow out these batteries. I haven't a clue what I can and can't use for these batteries.

I purchased a Sony camera with an earlier version of these batteries. They were made in Japan and are still working after 6 years. I needed spares so I purchased a 4-pack of the NH-AA-B4E batteries. (Same batteries as the NH-AA-B2D but a 4-pack). When I received them I noticed they were made in China. The first two I used were not even close to the performance of the Japanese-made Sony's. They do not hold a charge. For a couple of years I struggled with them as backup batteries with the original Japanese-made Sonys doing the heavy lifting. The Chinese-made batteries eventually became virtually useless even as backup batteries so I put the second pair into service. I fully charged them on my Sony recharger and put them into my camera. I turned the camera on and the lens extended. I took five pictures and the batteries died so badly the lens did not retract. Normally when a battery pair is exhausted the lens retracts but these batteries failed so utterly and completely the lens stayed extended. Meanwhile the Japanese-made batteries are still working.

I wish I could give these new Chinese-made batteries less than one star because they really are worthless junk.

When the built-in batteries of my 5-year-old Braun 5612 shaver refused to hold a charge, I did a little digging around the Internet and found that its old NiCd cells could be replaced with more robust NiMH cells. Thankfully the Braun designers used standard AA-size cells instead of something proprietary. Rather than spend a lot of money on shaver-specific parts, I went the cheap route and got these Sony batteries instead. I've been pleased with the results, as the shaver holds a charge once again.

I purchased these for my Kodak camera, since my Kodak uses NiMH rechargeables. However, these batteries will not charge in my Kodak EasyShare camera dock/charger. And, since they are not pre-charged, there's no way to use them. Lesson learned.

we put the batteries in rc from toy story & that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago & i havent had to charge them yet (sence the first time)

I put 2 AA batteries in my kid's toy. He plays with it everday for almost 2 months now... still running.

I use these for my DSLR's flash and flash battery pack. They take a while to charge, but the charge lasts very long IMO. I have about 20 of them.

they are new so i expect them to work just fine , for me sony products one of the best in the market ,excelent good reputation .
