Title: 50% Failure Rate -- But They Reimbursed Me
Product review: I've had good luck with other brands of rechargeable batteries before, but these by Energizer are a huge disappointment. I've had a set of four for just a year or so and to my surprise, two of the four have failed. There are no leaks and no apparent damage, yet these batteries will no longer charge and even after a full charge cycle, the power output is not even sufficient to power my flash. Checking them with a battery tester indicates the power level at just half the level of a full charge, rendering these defective batteries useless.I should mention that I advised Energizer via a cordial message. Assuming it's rare for relatively new batteries to fail, I provided the manufacturing lot identifier and offered to send the batteries to them for testing. But, no, they didn't ask for the batteries. However, they sent me an Energizer battery coupon that was valued at roughly the cost of my two prematurely failed batteries.
