Title: Good when new, but lifetime is short.
Product review: I've purchased 4 Powerex batteries and a Maha charger, and as part of this package also got a free bonus pack of 4 AA Kodak batteries. The Powerex batteries worked well at first, but after about a year of moderate use, the batteries would not hold charge and were pretty much useless. I've tried using them in a camera and a mouse, but they either didn't work at all (camera), or just lasted for a few days (mouse). As a last resort I tried using them for backup memory in a land line phone. This is a very benign application with a very low current requirement, and yet the batteries would only last a week before completely discharging. The free Kodak batteries, interestingly enough are still going strong, in all applications, and in fact have been used in the same land line phone now for at least two months without a need for a single recharge cycle.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
