Reported that the code doesn't work on any order under $25 now. I haven't verified this (yet).

I received the batteries. Popped 4 of them into the LaCrosse BC-900 charger and all read 1.28V (same reading that I received from Eneloops fresh out of the pack at work on the same charger). Running them through a double refresh cycle and will report findings on them later.

Good, bad, mediocre, it's out of stock so the response to the deal, at least, was good...

Actually, they sent out a Black Friday 15% off code "blackfriday", so the price is $21.99 - 15% off = $18.69. I ended up biting on this myself yesterday. Code is valid through today (30 Nov).

Item link is http://www.all-battery.com/cardnimhaa2300mahreadytouser2urechargeablebatteries3cardstotal24xaa.aspx.

When I went back to look at it just now, I don't seem to see anything about free shipping. But when I ordered yesterday I assumed there was, and just went through the checkout that way, and it seemed to be free (I was charged $18.69). Whatever the case, if this does not work for you, there is also apparently blanket $2.49 shipping for any weight/quantity of items. So if you have to use that, the total will be ~$21 vs. the $20 from during the week.

Slightly correcting myself here, but the link above is for six 4-packs of the R2U AA batteries--the charger is not included like for the original link that started this thread off. That said, the original link is now out of stock, so this might be useful if you are just interested in the batteries itself like I am.

IMO, much better deal. I confirmed the free shipping (must click the link about free shipping and then select it again via check box). The chargers are junk, IMO.

Just got mine in today's mail, and the buggers sent me their regular NiMH rechargeables (i.e. their 2600mAh capacity light blue ones with the dark blue base) instead of the LSD version. I will write them about a swap/RMA now which I expect to be completely on their dime. This is frustrating, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a simple mixup provided that their customer service does not give me a battle about the swap/RMA. I'll report back here about how it goes, but I'm not expecting a reply till Monday or Tuesday given it's now the weekend.

If you are not familiar with their batteries, and placed an order for this deal, I caution you to make sure you got the white batteries with the orange base which are their LSD version, and not the light/dark blue combo ones.

I have also purchased these batteries from them (six 4-packs in May of this year, so 24 total), and they have worked great. Just as good as my Rayovac Hybrids and "Duraloops" (i.e. white-topped Duracell LSDs that are made in Japan, and are thought to be Eneloop relabels). I used this first set of LSDs extensively this summer (basically every day) for several weeks, and as I said, they worked great. I have continued to use them since then, but less intensively, and they've always maintained a charge like I've expected. I don't doubt that others have had problems--that happens with anything that is mass-produced and sold cheaply. But in my experience, these LSD batteries work great, and with 24 pieces at $18.69, they are phenomenally priced. That's why I decided to order another batch of 24.

I purchased 3x6x4 packs of these LSD batteries- haven't used the included chargers (won't) yet so I can't comment on them.

I've tested about half of the cells so far through my two BC-900 LaCrosse Chargers. They're coming in between 1.95 and 2.20 Ah- the 1.95 was the lowest and the highest is around 2.4 Ah. I'll have a completed table as soon as I'm done.

Each battery gets refreshed and charged at 1A, .5C discharge. This is the initial work-thru. I'll report back on how the capacity changes with time, but so far at less than 1$ per cell this was a good deal.

My first 4 (of 24) of these have so far refreshed to 1900~2000mAh each (in my BC-900 at the lowest charge/discharge rate) -- one of them was stuck at ~1200mAh for a couple of refresh cycles so I highly recommend using a LaCrosse charger with these.

I bought the package with 12 AA RTU and 12 AAA RTU and charger. They sent regular NIMH AA batteries instead of the RTU ones, so it is the same story with guys above. What bothers me is that they dont notify you this and just send it to you and tell you that it is a higher quality item. I called them and was offered the same option as guys above. Do they have any idea how long the line is at this time of the year just to ship back a pack of battery?

For the record, I also received six packs of the standard 2600mAh batteries. And I needed the R2U batteries for Christmas toys. It is dishonest for a company to intentionally ship out the wrong items instead of canceling an order. Accidents happen, but since there are several of us reporting the same situation, this is beyond coincidence. Like with rebates, they are banking on the fact that not everyone will return the lesser-quality batteries. I will never buy from All-Battery again, as this is very dishonest.
