I purchased 24 batteries from this site. I got the exact the same battery(blue color) from it. The batteries can't be charged after 3-5 times uses. The price is low and attractive but the quality is real low.
I suggest you wait for a similar deal from other vendors.

I've been buying Eneloop batteries recently (the ones that hold their charge longer than standard NiMH) and have been extremely happy with them. They cost about twice as much as these, but I think they're worth it.

I have to agree DON'T BUY.
I got in on a simliar deal a while ago and alot of the batteries are duds. Either don't hold charge or just dies.

I guess maybe I have a better charger but I have good luck with their batteries. They won't hold a charge long if you let them sit around waiting to be used but they're fine for what I use them for. Many of them have been charged dozens of times before I switched over to their low drain batteries. I use their Eneloop equivalent in almost everything now and retasked the cheapies as replacements for my solar lawn lights.

I have to disagree. Ive bought many batteries, of various sizes and types, from all-battery and they all work fine. Ive replaced the NiCd batteries in my drill with NiMh and it works great. Same with my roomba. Tons of AAs that still work great after almost four years.
Im sure that others have had bad experiences, but my batteries work fine.
The only problem ive had is that they have a couple of times taken over two weeks to send stuff that they claimed were in stock. Very annoying to look at a tracking number that keeps saying "info received" and never show progress.

Only buy Eneloop. Or any other "low discharge" NiMH batteries.

don't buy NiCad batteries as well, they do not last long and take forever to charge.

Ben's ghetto math strikes again. Seems like the free shipping code would be better than using the 11% off coupon. Straight up $30 shipped vs. $34 shipped ($30 + $7 shipping - $3.30 for 11% off coupon).

All-Battery.com seems to have terrible reviews at reseller ratings:
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/All_Battery
I was almost tempted to try buying the AAA Ready 2 Use NiMH low self discharge batteries, but decided against it after reading the reviews above. It looks like All-Battery.com will often ship you the high self discharge version of their batteries if they don't have what you ordered in stock. They also often don't have things in stock contrary to what they report on their website. You can't win with this game.
I want some high capacity, low self discharge batteries at a low price, but if they're just going to accidentally ship me high self discharge batteries at their whim, its not worth it. I'll have to keep waiting for a deal on Eneloops, which I have experience with and know that they will be really good batteries.
