Sony AA 2500 mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries In Slide Case (4-Pack) Reviews

Summary: LONG-lasting Ni-MH rechargeables!
Comment: I do a lot of instrumental music recording and performing, and I use these Sony rechargeables EXCLUSIVELY in my gear, the most power-hungry of which are my Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder and my GigLight Compact LED Music Stand Light. I also use them in my Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom when going "optical" rather than "audible."

I can EASILY record two hours of music on my H2 with two of these batteries at 44.1kHz, 16-bit. I have never even come close to their running out early, and I've never had the device quit because of a lack of power. And I have recharged these MANY times for MANY gigs.

Loading my GigLight with these, I have found I can run it OVERNIGHT -- even 24 hours! -- and not drain them completely.

Plus, the batteries last between 200-400 pictures in my Canon, depending on whether I'm using a lot of flash and whether or not I leave the AF on "continuous." I'm never short of power. It's amazing.

Charge time is very reasonable, and this handy carry-case (while the key ring is a bit ambitious) keeps my batteries together when I use the H2, which uses only 2, but keeps a spare pair at the ready if I need them.

These leave Alkis in the dust! HIGHLY recommended -- and that's high praise because I'm generally NOT a Sony fan. But I am a fan of these!

Summary: Saving Money
Comment: I have ordered enough of these batteries to use in everything requiring
AA batteries around the house and for my camera equipment (about 52). They will pay for themselves in 2 years. I should not need any more for many years. I like the slide pack for storing the charged batteries until I need them (great safety feature)

Summary: I Couldn't Be More Impressed
Comment: I love everything about these rechargeables. They seem to have exceptionally great capacity- I can drop these in my 580EX II and easily shoot an entire wedding and reception without changing batteries. The functional carrying case is a nice, handy bonus.

Summary: Good battery, great case!
Comment: I don't really understand why sony makes both this battery set as well as the standard blister pack, but I'm very glad they do. These are the same 2500 mAh as in the blister pack. My sister works manufacturing electronics devices, and looking at the specs for these batteries she was very impressed, and recommended them.

But what I really love about these batteries is the case. Rather than yet another annoying, painful, throw away blister pack, these come in a compact, reusable, handy holder. We hang on to these and use them for storage. If you take out half the batteries the case can compact be half as tall, rather than have them flop around in the bigger space. They come with a little foam spacer to put between the touching ends, which is a safety feature. My only issue there is the spacer is easily lost.

I only wish they made a AAA size in this case too, that would be sweet!

Summary: Very Good Choice For Digital Cameras & More
Comment: If you already own a charger, this is an excellent way to get good quality extra batteries at a good price. They seem to hold their charge for a long time. (Might update review as batteries age).
