  Strengths: charges quick at first........

  Weaknesses:large, heavy and loud. and kills batterys after a few charges

  Overall Evaluation: very unhappy with this, was very impressed at how quick it charges. was great. then noticed the batteries were nearly dead after charging after a few times using and charging. went through a lot of batteries until i called duracell and they replaced the unit. i am going back to the smaller unit, it worked great until the batteries started falling out as it got older. Duracell impressed me with their customer service 5 stars for them.

  Strengths: FAST

  Weaknesses:Batter killer

  Overall Evaluation: Before this, I had been use kind of slow charger. At that time, there is no problem with my batteries. But after I use this fast charger, sometimes this charger cannot recharge some of my batteries and they seemed dead. Now I'm looking for another 'normal' charger. If you want to use this one, use it just in case you are in really emergency.

  Strengths: they charge fast

  Weaknesses:they don't hold their charge.

  Overall Evaluation: even if i charge them up at 11:30pm they are fully charged in 15 minutes i put them away and by 9:00am i put them into my digital camera and they are dead immediately!they aren't designed for high drain devices such as digital cameras like they claim to. don't waste your money on any of the energizer rechargeable batteries they just won't work for this!!! even regular Duracell disposable batteries do far more than these batteries ever could in their entire service life!don't buy these! buy lithium batteries for your camera or high drain device!you won't regret it!

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses:Last 2 months max!!!!

  Overall Evaluation: This is the worst money I ever spent on batteries. They lasted about 10 charges then throw them away. A little more research before flooding the market with false advertisement would be the proper proceedure instead of grabbing the money an running. I'll try the ENERGIZERS.

  Strengths: very powerfull

  Weaknesses:None really, but read the comments.

  Overall Evaluation: I have several of these and other brands of NiMHi batteries. I have found that most brands do not charge well after several charging sessions, especially where the batteries are partially charged before recharging, as they usually are. NiMHi batteries are peculiar this way, and can quickly become unusable in many cameras. For some reason the voltage drops off when NiMHi batteries are not fully recycled, and charging them will NOT raise the voltage sufficiently for our modern digital cameras.The cure is simple. Buy a couple of AA cell flashlights at the $1 store. Run the batteries until the flashlight gets dim. You will notice that, surprisingly, the seemingly poorly charged batteries will run the flashlight for a surprisingly long time, like even 2 or 3 hours or longer, just as if they were fully charged! AFTER discharging them, put them in your charger, 15 minute charger or otherwise. Every good NiMHi battery I have had, that seems to not charge up properly, responds to this process. Rechargeable batteries are odd things. I have used NiCad's for many, many years, and they have their own peculiarities. NiMHi batteries have there own peculiarities, and full cycling brings them back. I have batteries that I have treated this way for 2 or 3 years, and they are still going strong. That is just the way they are.
