    These are usually only rated around 1300-1400 MAH.
    This means that they will only last about 60% as long as a typical 2000-2500 MAH AA rechargable battery.

    They're usually rated for less than that and these in particular are only rated for 500mAH.

    What do you want for this price? I can plug these things into the side of my monitor at work, and the boss can pay for a battery charge. Good enough to run my electric shaver on. Use #2's coupon code, and get these for under two bucks a battery.

    Well, if the boss paying for charging a 500mAH battery is worth mentioning, you might want to string him up by the ballz or something, that is not many pennies saved.

    Since a USB port is less than half the length of a AA battery what I'd want is it to be a LSD type cell with 1000mAH or more, considering you can get little USB powered AA battery chargers if USB charging is important.

    Not to mention that these crappy batteries are not deals, but do show up every other week or so. How good a deal do the sellers of these actually think they are when this is their regular price, and they are on here often?

    Why would Ben think these are a deal?

    If there were a way to filter out regurgitated items I'd never buy, this would be one on my list of 'NEVER HEar ABOUT AGAIN".
