Great batteries (2008-12-17)
Work great... last as long as alkalines. I use them inside my P.C.s wireless keyboard and mouse, and charge them about every two months. Sony makes great stuff, give them a shot.

Stale batteries don't hold a charge (2008-12-16)
I was looking forward to a fresh pack of Sony's 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries as I had used Sony's 2500 and 2700 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries with my Canon A710 IS in the past with excellent results. These batteries are usually fantastic and feature a high energy density and long lifespan, but not the latest pack I received in the mail. This latest pack won't hold a charge for more than 2 days (even without use) and can't seem to take more than a dozen pictures before the dead battery warning starts flashing and the camera shuts itself down. This is in stark contrast to the last pack I purchased that would hold a charge for 2 weeks and easily take 100+ pictures between charges. Needless to say, I'm more disappointed in the vendor than I am Sony as I know Sony can make a great rechargeable battery. Caveat Emptor, my friends.

These batteries are great. I use them in my Garmin 60CSX GPS and they last all day. When I get home I recharge them immediately with a Lacrosse BC-700 charger. This charger shows you how much Ah you put back in the battery. Highly recommended.

Great Rechargeables (2008-11-30)
A couple of years back, I purchased the Sony BCG-34HE charger so that I had a road warrior rechargeable battery system that could go anywhere in the world with any electrical system. It came with two AA and two AAA 2500mAH batteries. A couple of weeks ago, I got a new laptop mouse that requires two AA batteries, so I wanted some additional batteries so that I always have fresh charged ones. These batteries are the best because they power things a lot longer than other rechargeables. The AAAs I use in my travel alarm clock and these batteries power that for about 9 months. A single AA powered my old laptop mouse for about a month of hard use. I'm getting about a month of hard use out of my new mouse.

I purchased these for our rechargeable phones around the house. They work well and so far seem to hold a charge pretty good.
