I like its endurance. One charge can last up to 20 hours of shooting.
from Paxton Florida on 8/24/2008
It gets hot and makes batteries hot
from Atlanta, GA on 8/24/2008
The charging time is less than other batteries but provides a deeper cycle and longer use which transforms to more shots
from Oak Ridge, NC on 8/9/2008
Easy to use.
from Detroit on 7/11/2008
small enough to fit in your bag and the recepticles are tight enough to hold a spare set of batteries securely
I've had no issues with these batteries and charger so far. I get 400 to 400 flashes on these batteries and they recycle quickly. I like them.
I have been using this product for over 1 year. Charger does get very warm but I have experienced none of the issues those with bad experiences have. product works great, charges fast and holds charge for days at a time (re: in between flash usage) Have taken pictures all day with SB-600 and no problems
I would not recommend these to my worst enemy!
I'm used to using a different AA 2700mAH battery in all my Nikon SB800s and Vivitar 285s with AWESOME results.
Well, when I saw these POWER2000 AAs rated at 2900mAH I thought I'd give them (being rated at 200mAH higher) a try to compare performance. BOY WAS I LET DOWN! Not only do they not not even recharge my SB800 but 2 of the batteries were totally defective. Very dissatisfied.

One year ago I bought these batteries, and at the same time for approximately same price I bought the Energizer's batteries (2500mah) at WalMart. I used both these sets intermittently. The Adorama batteries became practically unusable after 6 months and I discarded them, but Energizer's ones are like new until now.

Have given this the old college try, but it just doesn't work.
Plugged it in with batteries carefully and fully inserted, both lights turned red, and they never turned green. One turned off after a while. I tried putting them in my flash, and they died after four or five test shots.
Really a poor product, from what I can tell.

from Indiana, PA on 4/16/2008
Nice easy to use NiMH and Nicad fast charger with 4 NiMH AA batteries.
from Wellington, Ohio on 3/31/2008
I really like the "folding plug" and the lack of external cords. This makes the unit very, very compact for travel.

2 sets ordered , both resulted in short life forall batteries , also 2 cameras , 1 did not ship for inventory shortage , also 2 kits of bag,memoryand an unusefull lens cleaner . All worked but thebatteries ! Never last a day out ,and cameras werean easy pair . Batteries allways got a lot hot inthe charger . I've decided to measure the current,it's easy if you have the meter and put a littleplastic & a little foil in (one)-ve side battery.It pumps 350 mA thru esch pair of AAs, wich is agood reason to "fry" the NiMHs ...

I have been using the Adorama batteries in my Canon EX580 and EX580II flashes with great results. They have out performed other batteries by providing more flashes with quick recycle time. They work great and are available at a great price.
from Corning, NY on 3/23/2008
Charger easily fits in camera bag. Charge lasts longer than most available at stores. [...]

Its a good charger but the batteries are an off brand. Not sure how good they are.
from Flat Rock, NC on 2/21/2008
Recharges quickly. Recycled faster than I could make up my mind what to shoot next at a big and loud party last weekend. I took 250 or so pictures and the flash recycled at a constant rate for the duration. I am very happy with the batteries.
from Honesdale, PA on 2/12/2008
Excellent batteries and charger.
They are Power2000 professional brand.
I will be buying more of these batteries.
These are niMH batteries so please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the best use practices of this type of battery for maximum battery life. You can hurt this type of battery by letting it discharge too deeply.
For storage:
Unlike NiCads which store best discharged and shorted out I would suggest storeing them with a partial charge in them.

After arriving, I connected the charger to a 220V line and it exploded. Fortunately, the batteries where ok. I'm using another charger now.
