Powertron Lithium 3V Batteries Size CR2032 (Pack of 25) Review

A great price on these batteries, but unfortunately I've found they only last about 1/3 as long as the name brand versions you find at the local drug store. Given the price, they might still be worth it even though you end up changing them out quicker, but I'm torn because I'm ending up creating a lot more trash by using these - which is not very environmentally friendly of me.

Energizer Overnight NiMH Battery Charger Review

Energizer Overnight NiMH Battery Charger

Sold at Sams with 8 AA and 4 AAA batterys. The clue about how this charger works is in the instruction sheet: "Note: If the unit is unplugged or power is interruped during the charging cycle, the time will start over and run the full charge cycle." and "The charger is designed to charge AA NiMH batteries (maximum capacity of 2500 mAh) and AAA NiMH batteries (maximum capacity of 850 mAh) For lower rated capacity batteries simply remove the batteries before the charge cycle is complete based on the following charge time." (table of approriate charge times is listed)
In other words this charger doesn't sense overcharge because it only has a timer. After 8.5 hours the charger turns off. Period, end of details. Why do you think this Energizer battery charger is so cheap? Now you know.

AMZ-MIS043 Review

I bought these batteries for my Sony voice recorder which I use 3-5 days in the week for 4 hour lectures. I used to go through regular batteries weekly and I finally decided that it'd be better to just get rechargeable batteries so I wouldn't have to buy new ones and throw them out a week later.
After fully charging these batteries for 2 hours (I have the energizer compact charger for AA and AAA), I took them to my 4 hour lecture and by the end of it, the battery charge was low. I thought I still had more time, so I brought them to my next lecture. Bad idea! The batteries died 30 minutes later and I missed out on 20 minutes of my lecture because I didn't realize that my recorder had turned off.
Each subsequent use of these batteries just got worse and worse. I was charging these batteries everyday and hoping that they wouldn't die before the lecture was over.
These batteries don't last long at all. I'd say they only last for a few hours. I tried using these batteries for 2 weeks, then I finally went and bought the Duracell rechargeable pre-charged batteries as others had suggested. I've been using the Duracell ones for a week of 4 hours lectures, and I still haven't had to recharge them.
