Product Description
Rayovac Hybrid rechargeable batteries come pre-charged and ready to use. This battery technology also takes NiMH rechargeables to a new level. While all batteries self-discharge over time, Rayovac Hybrid NiMH batteries hold their charge better than many traditional NiMH batteries, while not in use. This means that customers can now charge their batteries and know that when they need them, Hybrid batteries will be ready to go without having to go into the charger again. Lasting longer in high-drain devices than regular alkaline, and being able to recharge over and over again mean convenience and value to your customers!

 Leaking after 4 months? February 22, 2010

I'd been searching to replace the aging rechargeable batteries that I use in my camera equipment. Diligent work on the internet, and Amazon lead me to these Rayovac Hybrid batteries.
They hold a charge well, I've been using them in my Canon Speedlite.
I probably have about a dozen charge cycles in them now. Over the weekend I had the first set of batteries in the charger... imagine my surprise to find them leaking!
I will be keeping a close eye on the second set which have been on the card up until now. I would not want to run expensive camera equipment with faulty batteries!
I suggest keeping a close eye on these if you decide to purchase them.

These destroyed 1 very expensive electronic device (complete with smoke) and caused a cheap maglite to burn out almost instantly. I have no idea what's going on with these, but they seem to be dangerous. STAY AWAY!
EDIT:
I tested them with a multimeter and they're putting out exactly how much voltage I'd expect them to, they weren't charged backwards (showing DC positive), and they were charged with the same charger that charges 16 other NiMH batteries just fine.
I'm willing to accept that it might have been ridiculous coincidence, but I'm now too chicken to try them in anything else.
 Not worth it! December 10, 2009

Bought the charger and extra batteries for my point and shoot camera. First, the batteries fit pretty loosely so you'll have to make sure its stays on. Second, I think the number of shots I took was only 15-25 before my camera wants me to replace the batteries! Shocking for a rechargeable batteries that's hyped as hybrid long lasting for camera. Wish I can return them, but I already tossed out the packaging.
 Finally - a rechargeable that I actually like! November 27, 2009

It's an on-going love/hate relationship. I really want to find a rechargeable battery that 1 - takes a charge and 2 - holds a charge. NiCads were not the answer because the capacity was too low, they drained over time and there was that annoying "memory" thing. It looked like NiMH's were a good fix, but I got ticked off that there was never any juice left when I went to use them. For a long time I used re-chargeable alkaline, but if they drained to zero, they were junk; also they stopped making them.
So here comes the Hybrid from Rayovac and I must say that I really like them. They take a charge and they hold it for a long time. Proof? - I have a high end flash for my DSLR. It uses 4 AA batteries. It takes a lot of juices to fire off a flash (FYI - it will illuminate the entire backyard at night and I have a big back yard!). One drawback of the big flash is the re-cycle time. When you shoot, you do not want to wait for the unit to re-charge for the next photo. The answer is to always use fresh, alkaline batteries, but this is expensive and a waste. I was pleased that these Hybrids recycle faster than brand new alkalines (I was surprised at this) AND they can sit in my flash for months and still be ready to go when I need them.
Finally - someone has got it right!
Great solution to AA battery problem November 19, 2009

2100 mAh batteries that hold their charge! What more could we want.
I bought 6 double-4-packs of these batteries. I.e., 48 batteries. They all worked great except for one that didn't hold a charge. A 2 percent failure rate is not bad. I charge them with the Duracell CEF23DX2 4-hour recharger. (The faster the recharge, the shorter the battery life. The battery life on a 4-hour charge is almost the same as overnight recharging, and about twice the life as a 15-minute recharge.) The third leg of a battery solution is a battery tester. I use ZTS ZTMMBT9R MINI-MBT9R Mini '9R' Multi-Battery Tester, which tests both NiMH and Alkaline batteries. I bought these batteries for my Nikon SB-900 strobe lights. But they are so handy I am using them for other purposes, too, such as my electric toothbrush. I will be ordering more of these batteries.
