In August I bought a set of DuraLoops (Duracell Pre-Charged LSD = confirmed re-bafged eneloops) - charged them up on 8/23/08.
Put them in the Pentax K100D dSLR on 11/20/08 - almost 3 months after charge.
I depleted them tonight to the point where the camera shutdown -
so that's almost 4 months after charge .....
BUT the shot count was a whopping
1,169!!! - some, but mostly without flash - but this count for me is bordering on the
unbelievably good.
Look back at Post #
35 where I show the shot count specs of the Pentax K100D for various battery types - the spec for 2500mAh NiMH was 430 shots no flash - DuraLoop = 1,169 = 272%!!
and the best figures were for lithium CR-V3 batteries at 730 shots, or lithium AA's at 660 shots without flash -
here are the DuraLoops exceeded both those - achieving 1,169 shots with a few flash shots -
that's some 60% better than spec for lithium CR-V3
or 77% better than lithium AA's
I am most impressed with these DuraLoops (re-badged eneloop-R)
