(More customer reviews)As a professional photographer and environmentalist, I simply have to use rechargeable batteries, or I'd be throwing out AA's in large quantity.
In the past I've been unhappy with rechargeable batteries, they eventually held less of a charge and when stored, simply ran low and failed me when I needed them most.
These are simply the best AA's that I've used. I have lots of standby equipment.. strobes, back up cameras and associated equipment. I need things to work at full power for the longest possible time. The eneloops have a long shelf life once charged and this is very helpful.
Another plus, is that with photographic equipment, I was able to take far more photos on a single charge and my off camera strobe has a much faster cycle/recovery time than expected with rechargeables.
They are heavier than copper top AA's, I actually weighed them to compare... just an interesting fact. My aux battery holder uses 8, strobe uses 5 and the MBD-10 from Nikon uses 8, so battery weight plays. But the performance has become all I care about... that, and the fact that I'm not throwing away batteries after ever big event shoot.
I also appreciated that they arrived fully charged in their pack, so opening a new pack doesn't mean waiting to charge them prior to putting them into service.
I can't vouch for how they perform in other devices, but can certainly endorse them for photography.
Long shelf life, rechargeable, top performer...
