Customer Review: What you need to know about "HYBRID Technology" Batteries
Please note that I have not purchased this item ("NiMH Rechargeable Batteries with New Advanced HYBRID Technology"), so I cannot comment on its quality. However, I like to clarify some confusion about marketing claims here. 1. The claim of "4 times longer lasting" is actually referring to the battery's storage life (when it is NOT being used), and not its operation time or capacity. 2. No matter what brand of digital camera you have, as long as it accepts AA cells, you can use ANY brand of rechargeable NiMH cells in it. However, it is best to choose the latest generation of low self-discharge cells. Here's why: All rechargeable NiMH batteries suffer from a problem called "self-discharge". This problem is especially bad for AA cells with capacity of 2500mAh or higher. If you charge up a set of those NiMH cells and leave them in your camera, the cells start to lose their charge rapidly even when the camera is off. Then when you want to use the camera a few weeks later, you'll likely be greeted by the "low battery" indicator. Because of this problem, you always have to recharge the cells just before using them. A new generation of rechargeable NiMH (often called "read-to-use", "Pre-Charged" or "Hybrid") are specially designed to have very low self-discharge rate. They typically claim to retain about 80% of their charges in 6 months (the Sanyo eneloop claims to retain 85% in 12 months, but that was only based on simulation test under room temperature). However, this advantage comes with a trade-off in cappacity. Typical capacity of a LSD (low self-discharge) AA cell is only around 2000-2100mAh, compared to 2500-2700mAh for the older generation of NiMH cells. I have personally tested several brands of LSD cells, and I can attest that they do work (almost) as well as advertised. For any of my photo equipment, I'll pick a set of dependable 2000mAh LSD cells over a set of unreliable 2500mAh cells, any time.
