Best Batteries Ever, November 20, 2009
These batteries are the best. I will never use any other type. They hold a charge better than any other rechargeable battery I have ever used
Finally.... a rechargable that I'm satisfied with., November 20, 2009

I've been using Eneloop batteries for about a year now and am really happy with them. I initially bought them to use in camera flashes (Canon Speedlite 580 EXII). I wanted something rechargeable because I'd be going through a lot of batteries and I wanted something that held its charge a long time because there might be long periods of time before I use a flash. They have performed as advertised. They are long lasting and hold their charge a long time while waiting in my camera bag. I've gradually replaced all the AA (and AAA) batteries in my house with these as my old batteries have died. It is great to know that I don't have to buy new batteries for all my remotes, Wii controllers, flashlights, etc. I felt vindicated when I read Consumer report's positive ratings for these batteries.

SAVES YOU MONEY, November 19, 2009
I purchased the starter kit for the eneloop batteries over a year ago, and even after heavy use from my little girl's toys and my camera and calculator...etc. etc. they are still going strong. They recharge quickly and last a long time without recharging. I would estimate I've probably saved hundreds of dollars with these babies...they're awesome.
Good, November 18, 2009
I'm a freelance photographer and I currently have 12 of these batteries and they are very reliable for my camera strobes.
great product, November 15, 2009
Have been using these for a couple years now, they work so well I use them for everything. No more throw away batteries.
