  u get 4 in this pack than the slightly cheaper 2 pack. and theyre the 900 mah than the standard 800. be aware how many AAA batteries your charger will charge at once. my charger can charge 4 AAs, but only 2 AAAs at the same time. no matter. these batteries work great and are a great price.
  
  

• Good choice

  
  By AIPYEXV8DEBYH on 2006-10-18
  I am using these batteries (now they come at 900mAh) for my baby monitor - it takes 3 AAAs.
  
  The monitor is on up to six hours a day and a set of batteries lasts about a week.
  People say that in digital cameras Ni-Mh last longer than regular alkalines, but this was not the case for me. A set of Duracell alkalines lasted a little longer than these and a set of ultra batteries lasted about 10 days. I guess that this is because the monitor is a low-drain device and batteries seem to behave differently when used in a low-drain or a high-drain device like flash or digital camera.
  
  Anyway, rechargable are always a better choice, I am starting to save money already.
  
  

• EEK!

  
  By A3VB3BULXO8GCO on 2007-02-23
  Though the batteries are good, you'll say "EEK!" when you see the exorbitant shipping charges from products sold by "eek Technologies". Beware!
  
  

• Cheap and Easy - Just the Way I Like It.

  The batteries are great. I walk to work everyday so my MP3 player gets a lot of use. The Rechargable batteries are saving me a ton of money.
  
  

• Excellent!!

  
  By AP1IVALPMVGZ3 on 2006-12-11
  Excellent stuff, but the box in which the package was coming was too big. I paid more for the courier.
  
  
• Love. These. Batteries.
  By A3HLWKNCHOF9KO on 2007-02-10
  Buy them. Now. They last a long time, and they're rechargable. What more could you ask for?
  
  
• Useful Charging Device
  By A29G3CAAG25K39 on 2007-01-29
  I purchased this charger specifically for the Sony HVLF32X photo flash. It works very well except that the charging time is very long.
  The manual also recommend charging batteries only after they are completely empty but it does not tell how to be sure that this is a fact.
  Nonetheless, I have to specifically mention that this device works with any voltage and could be used on international trips without any additional adapter (of course one needs a simple adapter for plugging this charger into outlets of different configuration - the item that could be easily found on the web or in Radio Shack stores). It is also very convenient that the same charger works with AA and AAA batteries
  
  
  
• STRENGTH
  By A3GWEEVIU5FLWY on 2007-09-10
  SELLER DID THEIR JOB WELL, BUT THE BATTERIES DO NOT HOLD A CHARGE BUT FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. I FOLLOWED ALL OF THE INTSTRUCTIONS AND ANTICIPATED THAT THEY WOULD STRENGTHEN AFTER A FEW USES AND FULL DRAINAGE, BUT TO NO AVAIL THEY ARE SHORT LIVED TO SAY THE LEAST. I WILL TRY A DIFFERENT BRAND NEXT TIME.
  
  
  
• They're a little too big for some items that need AAAs
  By A3JV071KO43Q5X on 2007-09-16
  These charge and work fine, but won't fit into my Logitech cordless keyboard. Another rechargeable brand (Uniross) does, as do regular AAA Duracells that I used before I went to rechargeables.
  
  
• Frequent charging, short life, light duty use only
  By A3U1V3RO5YC2TL on 2008-08-03
  ADJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS
  
  The very high quality standard disposable (non-rechargeable) Lithium batteries that can be purchased from Energizer and Duracell have set my expectations too high for these Sony batteries to compete with. They simply do not last very long after a charge. You use it, and within a very short time, it's dead.
  
  FREQUENT CHANGES
  An example: My wireless mouse. I use it all day long. With a standard, non-rechargeable Lithium-type Energizer, I could use the same battery for 2 to 3 weeks or more. Using the Sony rechargeable batteries, I find I need to change batteries every 5 days or so. Fortunately, with a rechargeable, I walk over to the charger, and swap it out (single battery mouse) but there is a noticeable difference in the life of the battery.
  
  NO REAL COMPLAINTS
  Do they work? Yes. Have I had any trouble? No. Unfortunately, these batteries do not last long enough for heavy-use devices, such as digital cameras. They are fine for TV remotes or a wireless mouse perhaps, and other "light-duty" chores. I wish this was not the case, because I use my digital camera constantly, but rechargeable batteries burn of all their energy in as little as 30 to 45 minutes of (moderate) use, where a Lithium disposable might have lasted 3 to 4 hours. Obviously time varies from one set to another.
  
  My suggestion: Buy plenty of cells, and keep the charger handy, so you can rotate the batteries out with use. Their individual charges appear to last 25-30% of the life of a disposable premium Lithium battery, so you'll probably be changing them 3 to 4 times more frequently. If you insist on trying to use them with a digital camera for your trip to Disney with the kids, I would advise taking along a large ziploc bag, with a full change-set of batteries for every 1-hour of anticipated use.
  
  VERDICT:
  Still a huge savings over time, and no real complaints other than the adjustment of expectations needed. A solid, light duty long-term pony, in a race filled with short-sprint, high-performance thoroughbreds.

  By A2PP9VZ03CXM7S on 2007-01-05

• Batteries died within 4 months of using them
  By A3UXTBH86L07C8 on 2008-04-03
  Bought these for two cordless phone handsets to replace the original batteries that lasted for a year. These would no longer take a charge after four months. I am currently shopping for another set.
  
  
• Sony, Sony, Sony!
  By A2FQ1NVFXODJZG on 2007-01-07
  The brand says it all! These batteries charge very fast & last a long, long, long time! I use them for my digital camera.
  
  
• A good Product
  By AB5IQEOSPXRJ7 on 2007-01-10
  I charged the batteries as specified in the instructions, and put two of them into use. They are working fine, and I don't know how long the service life may be, as they have not yet required recharging.
  
  I plan to buy more of the same batteries as my need dictates.
  
  
• Disapointed in life of battery
  By AJI3B8VFGZQD6 on 2007-02-03
  I have a MP3 player that I use the batteries for. I was going through about 1 regular AAA battery every 10 - 14 days. Then I bought these rechargables. The last 2 rechargable batteries have only lasted me for about 7 days. I listen to my MP3 fairly often (I would estimate about 1 hr a day or less, plus time to ocassionally synch files), so I would say I have gotten roughly about 8 - 12 hours of usage per battery. I hope to get more out of the others going forward.
  
  
• so far (1 month) working great!!! and, despite being Sony, the lowerst price compared to other rechargeables.

• Important Note
  By A6RDJDIN0JS1F on 2007-10-31
  In case some of you have never bought these batteries before, please note that THEY ARE NOT CHARGED when you buy them. Not great when you need to use them immediately after you get them and have to go out and buy more batteries!
  
  
• Does the job...
  By A3350T0FA05R43 on 2007-12-05
  Have 3 kids and lots of powered toys... Although the first charge took a while, these batteries do the job... Which has a downside.... Need more aspirins now...;)
  
  
  
• Try them, you'll like them
  By A3N61SV1QRQC3Z on 2008-02-20
  These are the second-best NiMH batteries I've ever bought. The best are unquestionably Powerex as their charge outlasts all others, but they are much more expensive! So, you can buy many more of these for an equal amount of money. I've been using NiMH batteries for over ten years and it's the only way to go! The first ones I bought are still in use and perform the same today as they did ten years ago. I charge-discharge all my AA and AAA NiMH batteries in the MAHA MH-C401FS made by Powerex. This charger keeps them in pristine shape. I've used these batteries in kids toys, digital cameras, remote controls, flashlights, etc. all around the world and they have never let me down.
  
  
• OK
  By A6C6N8DA1ROQI on 2008-04-24
  THEY ARE GOOD AT 900MAH
  BUT A
  1000MAH BATTERY IS BETTER
  
  
• Pretty good product
  By A2OODA0HMOMA0P on 2006-03-02
  I used these batteries for my mp3 player, after these batteries are charged, they last for pretty long. Good quality.
  
  
• Great product!
  By A3TYNTA7V71XPE on 2007-01-03
  This is a must buy for digital camera users, their life though starts going down with every charge, but instead of spending hundred of dollars on new batteries, buy this plus you're helping the environment; : ).
  
  
• not very powerful
  By A1ETYP6TXW2RRL on 2007-01-03
  I bought these AAA batteries but haven't tried them. However, I used AA ones that came with Sony charger. I charged them full and used them for my digital camera but they lasted for only 6-7 shots with flash whereas I used regular batteries with this camera for taking VDOs before.
  
  
• Good batteries for the price
  By A30L6H82T7N80O on 2007-02-21
  Definitely hold true to their rated mAh. I use the Lacross Technologies charger to charge these.
  
  
• Learn To Pack!
  By A3KNL48KKKYCHB on 2007-03-08
  The batteries were good but the packing was very, very bad. Picture this......
  
  11x14 bubblined envelope. 3-4 pack of AAA batteries loose in side. UPS them and what do you get??...........Well, I only recieved 1 of the 3 packs because the weight of the others cut the edge of the envelope and probably made it to the home of a UPS employee. How dumb can someone be and pack batteries loosely in a bubble envelope?? The rest of the problem is too long to write about. Hey AMAZON, I know you don't have to be smart to be a shipper but let's at lease have some common sense.
  
  
• rechargeable batteries without a charge.
  By A1GTPO72YGQ6NY on 2007-03-08
  i may be naive or something but i would have thought that the batteries would start out with a charge. this is my first time buying rechargeable batteries so i don't know if all of them need to be charged before using but for the price that they are it would have been nice if they would be ready to use right away instead of having to charge them first.
  
  
• good product
  By A349D8AFDIUJR9 on 2007-03-09
  hold a charge for a long time, better than generic rechargables bought resently.

  By A33VVP46NKZFJZ on 2007-03-24
  I ordered these AAA batteries for use with my new SONY Battery Charger. These batteries last for a long time. I'm using them in my universal remote control.
  
  
• The batteries charge/work pretty well
  By AUHVBRIC5S1WN on 2007-03-27
  I use these batteries for my mp3 player and the last longer than other batteries. You can use them many times to come.
  
  
• Battery lasts a long time
  By A3NYY0MCW3F36 on 2007-04-16
  I bought the 2300NIMH AA batteries for my kids toys and they last a long time. I don't see much difference between the 2300nimh and the 2500nimh. Very happy with the performance.
