I purchased these to use in a digital camera. Great battery life, no problems thus far.
TWO OF FOUR BATTERIES WERE DEAD AT FIRST ATTEMOT TO CHARGE THEM. "One Year Warranty" requires $5 co-pay plus SHIPPING which makes the WARRANTY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE TWO WORTHLESS BATTERIES
I like this item as it does charge the batteries quickly and can be carried in the car for a quick charge when traveling.
I was about to return both sets I purchased; however, was able to resurrect the product and it works GREAT. I fully discharged the batteries in a flashlight - left it on overnight.2.
The unit is secure in a wall socket, the batteries are secure in the unit, and the operating temperature (even after 12 hrs) is just a little above room temp.I hope this review may save you some grief and a potential needless return of the product. I repeated steps 1 and 2.The batteries now operate great.
I fully charged the batteries in the charger overnight (ignore the steady green light indicating a full charge).3. The green fully-charged indicator on the charging unit also appears to be operating correctly now.Other problems noted such as overheating and unit not staying plugged in have not been an issue for me.
I too shared many of the apparent problems with this charger/battery combo. The batteries now work super in my digital camera, cordless mouse, cordless keyboard, and even flashlights.What I did:1.
They hold a charge and operate items I only operated previously with DuraCell Alkalines.
This is JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, just like all the reviews say. Tried another pair, out of the four and same thing, lasted a few seconds. I took a chance to save a buck, and got burned. I have had the exact same experience as all the other negative reviews. Too bad I have to even give this product one star. Popped in some regular old alkaline batteries, and lo and behold, they worked.It really surprises me that Amazon continues to sell this product.
Don't do the same. I wish I would have listened to the other reviews. Charged the batteries, put them in my Kodak Zx1 and they lasted just a few seconds. Don't waste your money and time.
