Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The batteries in this package (Kodak Value Charger with 4 Pre-Charged NiMH AA Batteries) belong to the latest generation of low-self-discharge NiMH cells. It may not be as well-known as other brands (SANYO eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, Duracell Pre Charged) but it is just as good according to my own testing:
1. The battery capacity is specified as 2100mAh. But the average capacity I have measured (using my La Crosse BC-900) is actually closer to 2200mAh!
2. After three months in storage, the capacity lost is only around 10%. This is even better than the results I got from eneloop and Hybrid (both close to 15%).
I have used more than a dozen of those Kodak Pre-Charged AA cells in digital camera (Canon S5), external flash (Canon 420EX), plus various toys and gadgets with great satisfaction. However, I feel that the 'value charger' (K620) included here is a horrible product because:
1. It is a really dumb charger that simply charges at 180mA FOREVER! You are supposed to manually remove the batteries after 12-16 hours (depending on the capacity). If you forget and leave them in there for too long, they will be over-charged and may eventually be damaged.
2. It can only charge either 2 or 4 AA cells in pairs. This is very inconvenient if you have appliances that require odd number of cells. It is simply inexcusable for Kodak to lump its best rechargable AA batteries together with such a poor charger. My advice is to get the KODAK 1-Hour Battery Charger K6200 package for just a few dollars more. The K6200 is a smart charger that charges each cell independently, and stops charging when each cell is full. It also charges a lot faster: about two hours for 4 AA cells.
