Title: beware of Old Batteries
Product review: I purchased 2 separate 4 packs of Sanyo AA 2000 Mah ultra low discharge batteries in August of 2008. According to marketing claims, they should only lose 15% of the charge over a period of 1 year. (Which would mean -300 mah per year) On arrival I put them into my LaCrosse digital recharger to fully charge the batteries. All of the batteries were down anywhere from 858 to 1080 Mah.(more than 50% drained) There are no manufacturing dates on the batteries or packs. I sent an e-mail to Sanyo asking if there was a way of telling when they were manufactured. They told me to return them to Amazon as defective. These must have been sitting in a warehouse for 2 to 3 years. Let the buyer beware of marketing claims!
