Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Kodak Pre-Charged AA NiMH belongs 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%). Note that the difference could be due to measurement error and different ambient temperature, since those cells were not tested during the same period.
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. This Kodak 4-pack is an excellent buy, especially since it can be found at lower prices than other brands of pre-charged cells. If you are also looking for a fast and compact travel charger, then I highly recommend buying it with the KODAK K6200.
However, there are a few caveats when buying or using those Kodak Pre-Charged cells:
1. Make sure those cells are in WHITE cases. Avoid other Kodak rechargeable cells that come in green or grey cases, as thoseare not "Pre-Charged".
2. Those cells are slightly fatter than ordinary alkaline cells. Most appliances have no problem accepting them, except for my Microsoft wireless keyboard which has a very tight battery compartment. In this particular case, I have to use Hybrid AA cells since they are slimmer than others.
3. Many vendors here offer this product at a low price, but then charge you ridiculous amount in shipping and handling. If possible, wait for it to be available directly from Amazon, and order it with free "super-saver" delivery.
