Customer Reviews of Rayovac Recharegable Hybrid Slim Charger with 6AA & 2 AAA Hybrid Rechargeable Batteries Included
Customer Review: Good Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Good price and good quality the charger not the best bur for the price is more than goodCustomer Review: Buy it for the Rayovac Hybrid (but dump the charger ASAP)
Summary: 3 Stars
You get eight rechargeable batteries (6x AA + 2x AAA) plus a simple charger in this package. The batteries are the latest Rayovac "Hybrid", which are supposed to have very low self-discharge rate similar to the better known Sanyo "eneloop".
The capacity of Hybrid AA cell is rated at 2100mAh, slightly higher than that for the eneloop (2000mAh). I have tested both brands and can confirm that both ratings are accurate. Sanyo claims the eneloop can retain 90% of its original charge in 6 months, whereas Rayovac only claims 80% for the Hybrid. In real life applications, we probably won't be able to tell the performance difference between those two brands.
The charger inluded in this package, however, is a piece of junk. It is a timer-based dumb charger that simply charges for 8 hours at around 350mA and then turns off (obviously it was designed to charge 2500-2700mAh cells, because 350*8=2800). It also forces you to charge cells in pairs. Both 'features' are bad for your batteries. Do youself a favor and replace it with a smart charger as soon as possible. [...]
Customer Review: Not Good For Digital Cameras
Summary: 2 Stars
These batteries are only rated at 2100mAH of power and do not work effectively in a digital camera. On a full charge I was only able to shoot off about 10 pictures with my HP camera. RayOvac sent me replacement batteries, which did the same thing. I even used a different charger with the same outcome.Customer Review: Rayovac Re-chargeable Hybrid batteries
Summary: 1 Stars
The charger works fine but the batteries are not performing as stated. First they died right away when put into use. after recharging
they really didn't give the expected life or use. Hmm maybe thats why you don't see them in the stores!
