First experience with rechargeable batteries, not disappointed at all!November 20, 2008 This is my first experience with rechargeable AA/AAA batteries, and I am definitely not disappointed with my choice. I researched for quite a while before making a purchase and finally decided on this kit. I did not want to spend a fortune, but I wanted a good/decent charger and a good number of batteries. This kit fit those requirements perfectly. This is a good value for all you receive with it.
I just purchased a new digital camera and it uses regular AA batteries, instead of a battery pack -- another first for me. Between the new camera and my Wiimote's, I knew it was time to finally buy rechargeable batteries. After reading that most rechargeable batteries end up losing their charge as they sit unused in devices, and that these batteries by Sanyo were much better in that regard -- I was sold. My camera use and Wiimote use can be very sporadic, and I did not want to find myself in a situation where if a device sat unused for a long period of time, I'd turn it on only to find dead batteries. Sanyo has this covered!
A bit expensive here, but great batteriesNovember 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like the adapters. That's the only reason I'd buy this pack. However, if you don't need the recharger or the adapters, I think the price isn't right.
Additionally, in Costco B&M, you can get these for about $10 cheaper, which only then makes the pack a good deal.
Otherwise, just go for the 4-pack of the AAA and AA separately found here on Amazon.

BEST Rechargeable battery on the market - periodOctober 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a gadget hound, and now that we have a Wii in the house, we go through a lot of batteries. I've tried quite a few different brands and types.
These are the best, longest lasting batteries I've every tried - ever. They last longer than alkalines in my Wii remotes. They also have a shelf life when charged, so you can store them after you charge them and they will still have a charge when it's time to use them.
I will never buy another type of rechargeable battery. These are great.
Why buy anything else?September 13, 2008 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've been using Eneloop batteries in my digital camera for a couple of years now, and there seems to be no question that they are superior to any other type of rechargeable battery (at a reasonable price). I've thrown away all my older rechargeables. I bought this kit because I wanted to be able to charge/use AAA batteries as well as AAs. It's not entirely clear from the description how the C and D size adapters work. The items in the kit that look like C and D batteries are actually just cases, into which you put the AA size batteries for use. Given the high capacity of the AA batteries, they are presumably more than adequate to replace conventional C and D types. I really can't understand why anyone is still buying other types of rechargeable battery. There's no contest!
