WalMart B&M has AAA pre-charged Kodak nimh batteries for less than $9 for 4. Has anyone tried these?

Mine were Tenergy banded batteries and a Tenergy banded charger. I would avoid, honestly and look for deals on Eneloops, Duracell based Eneloops as well as the Rayovac Hybrids.

iranerd said:It's a very good deal, especially with free shipping. My experience so far after a year of using All-Battery's Tenergy AA/AAA cells has been good - and I'm not a paid reviewer! Admittedly, I haven't run any formal tests, but my kid has 3 video game systems (and never less than 4 friends here at any given time) all using wireless controllers as well as all the other remotes, cameras, etc around the house. None failed or leaked in over a year of constant use. Frankly, sometimes I wish the damn things would fail so they'd do something else that didn't require a remote (like get out of the house)!! I agree. With three six year olds in the house, I keep about 40 tenergy batteries and two chargers busy. Never had a problem, when the batteries go dead I just swap them for some charged ones. I have not tested the capacities to see if they live up to their claims, but for everyday use I believe they work great.

Seems Tenergy bashing is fashionable on Fatwallet these days.

I've had these for a while now, and you can't beat the price for the amount of rechargeable you get for NON-ESSENTIAL items that require batteries. They have died on me though, 6 to be exact out of 20 over a span of about 1.5 years. (Charger indicates dead cell, which means it's no longer rechargeable and the safeguard kicks in)

Got that cute novelty clock that runs on AA batteries you got last x-mas? How about that wireless mouse for the kid's computer? Speaking of kids, how about those battery eating toys? Basically what I'm saying is that it's hard to beat these in devices that aren't high on the priority list but do use batteries. It sure beats using those free alkaline batteries you got with stuff and then throwing them in the garbage can or any alkaline/lithium for that matter in non priority devices. (Honestly, unless it's a medical/communication device, you can use rechargeable instead in my opinion)

Compared to my Eneloops and Rechargeable Energizers, they're no-where-near as long and reliable to use. Tenergy batteries seem to vary on voltage ratings on full charge that isn't 1.2v, which makes them unstable. Some cells are fine, others dip to about 1.1 on full, which is really bad on specific devices like Cameras.

Also on a side note, ff you recycle any your used batteries, more "power" to you. "We" all thank you!
