THE BEST Deal for AA Batteries with SHELF LIFE!! [Posted on 2007-04-02]
These batteries and their little charger have proven to be the BEST deal on the market to date! They WORK when all the rest of them "bleed-off" their charge for no reason other than poor quality of manufacture! After a month of "sitting" these batteries still retain over 80% of their charge, based upon an excellent "designed for the job" tester put them thru their paces. When I need MORE, I KNOW where I'll buy them!!

You get what you pay for [Posted on 2007-04-24]
Bought these to go with a new digital camera. They arrived nearly dead; they would fire up my old camera almost through the boot. So, I decided to charge them. Installing them in the charger, as directed, showed them charging (red LED to green) in about 10 seconds. \But, they still wouldn't boot the camera. So, after some effort, I found that if you spin the just right batteries in the charger, they will switch from green back to red and charge. So, after about 5 hours charging the light switched to green. Yeah!

Now, I plug them in and they seem to work...until the third picture. Then the low battery warning comes on. These are not worth the trouble. Buy a name brand.

Funky at First, But Works Well Now. A Good Deal [Posted on 2007-07-30]
I paid $12.99 (free shipping) for this small, lightweight rapid charger with both home and car charging options and 4 long life batteries - a good deal! I had a similar problem as another reviewer when I first tried to use them, but once through a couple charging cycles they seem to work really well. Just took a bunch of pictures at the Coast all on one set of batteries without a problem. Recommended!

Avoid these! [Posted on 2007-11-27]
CTA either has really bad quality control, or manufactures defective designs for this particular model.

The charger is wacky - the LEDs flip between "charging" and "charged" randomly, even when you put dead batteries in. The LEDs change state when you push on the batteries or change their order. On the first attempt at charging, after 5 hours, my batteries weren't charged. After a couple more tries it seemed to work, but now one set of batteries is losing its charge after 2-3 days. I'm not sure if it's a problem with that set of batteries or if the charger only charged them 50%.

I emailed CTA support and they said try spinning the batteries around and just wait 4 hours to see if they charge up (ie, ignore the LEDs). That seems to only have worked partially, as I mentioned. It's just not worth the aggravation of getting these batteries.
