Deal not found on website...gone...gone...gone
Ummm... yea, where the hell is it?
I bought a package of this brand before off of Ebay (brand new from their factory)....they work great the first time you use them. After recharging them, they'll only last about 2 minutes. From my experience, they're terrible. I recommend staying away.
#3, I recommend you shut the burp up. Thanks.
I have a bunch (12 or so) of these from All-Battery and they work fine.
I bought a couple of packages two weeks ago. Analyzed them in my LaCrosse battery charger and they only deliver between 1,900-2,100 mAh, even had a single with 1,400 mAh.
Disappointing
Beware of these high cap AAs. They usually leak like crazy (only hold charge for about a week). I have switched to Eneloop and very very happy with them.
#3, the issue with NiMH batteries is recharging. I always drain them completely and then recharge. Otherwise most chargers base their "full" on many factors which can be phantom. Unless, of course, you use a quick-charger that "assumes" the duration, and then they melt batteries easily too.
#7, people confuse "real-time output current (every second)" with "total charge current (over time)." My Energizer NiMH 2500mAH and Sanyo Eneloop NiMH 2000mAH charge to 2.1-2.7AH (2100-2700mHA) can give me 2A+ (2000mA) as long as they still have around 1.3-1.7AmH (1300-1700mAH) left in them. They're still good when they drop below that charge, but they aren't capable of powering high-current drawing devices (like my Pentax K100D).
These All-Battery/Tenergy 2600mAH batteries will charge to 2.5AH (2500mAH) or so, but they barely put out 1-1.5A (1000-1500mA) real-time current. As such, they either show "half battery" or nothing (and power-off) in high-current drawing devices (like my Pentax K100D). Great for low-current devices (typical Alkaline AA consumer electronics), but horrendous for high-current devices (like most digital cameras, especially any serious mechanics, like on a low-end dSLR or high-end super-zoom Point'n Shoot).
As such, I do not recommend them for high-current sucking devices.
Although, in all honesty, I've just switched to using Energizer e2 Lithium (a proprietary LiFe) instead, for high-current drawing devices. A 12 pack (3 x 4) runs $19 at Sams Club or Costco. They output 2.6A+ (2600mA+) over almost their entire life, and at 1.5V instead of NiMH's 1.2V (up to 1.3-1.35V at full charge). So even though the total charge on them ar... [Truncated]
I'm still happy with a bunch of 1200mah batteries I got some 6 years ago - they have outlived all of the Energizer 2600mah I bought just over a year ago - they suck.
I bought some of the AA, AAA and C sized batteries from this site. The AA ones all but died after about 4-5 charge cycles. First couple of times they ran my digital camera for about 400 shots. Now I'm lucky to get 50 shots on a full charge. The AAA and C ones have not given me any problems yet, but the devices using them are probably drawing current at different rates. They don't seem to "leak" much either (the AA do, like #7 said).
This deal is *NOT* sold out. Ben has a bad redirect link.

Been using these specific 2600mah batteries for two years in my digital cameras and other devices with absolutely no problems. I use a "smart" Lacrosse BC-900 charger to refresh them (completely discharge them) every so often, and they still work great 2 years later.
From Ben's I bought a batch of Sanyo Eneloop batteries and charge them with the Lacrosse BC--900 charger. I get great life out of them on my radios and on the Sony flash I use with my sony Alpha 100 camera.
The Eneloop batteries with the Lacrosse charger are the most reliable combination of batteries and charger I've ever had and wouldn't have known about them except for this site.
What do you expect from some shitty Chinese batteries?
Sanyo's Hi capacity 2700s and Eneloops are the way to go depending on if you need max run time or long shelf life. As #13 mentioned the LaCross charger is great.
good for things you need around the house without spending loans on regular batteries. don't expect too much, but are great for clocks, remotes, xbox 360 controllers and such. bought the 20 pack a few months ago and are still using the same 6 i just keep switching for small devices.
Just have the wrong label, should never say 2600 mAh High Capacity ...
Discharging then recharging senselessly wastes a fraction of their life, no properly designed NiMH needs this unless it had sat for months.
NiCd, not NiMH have phantom charge level issues. If you find NiMH have this problem you are not using a properly working charger - any typical $15 Delta-V charger does not have this problem.
If by quick-charger you mean a timer type, yes those can be a problem if they are actually charging at a high current but those are very rare today, most are now 8 hours or longer and not enough current to matter much, it'd just reduce total # of charge cycles/capacity weardown over time by about 15%..
Thank you all for the information concerning batteries. Nothing beats an informed bargain shopper.
how do the new energizer recharables fair when compared to these guys?
I bought a bunch of these a few months ago. That was a big mistake. They don't hold a charge any more. Stay away from these.
