The Kodak 2500mAh is priced at $7.50 for 4 and my sample lives up to the claim.

I don't know if they have more than one suppliers, but mine are Sanyo.
`HR` marking and "Made in Japan"

Charged overnight in Duracell 30 minute charger
From a sample of four cells, they tested 2.49, 2.49, 2.50 and 2.51 Ah at 0.5A discharge rate to 1.0v

I've read (on AmondoTech's site) that high-capacity NiMH cells sometimes lose more energy per day. I wonder how these Kodaks will fare.

The one thing that's lead me to think these are Sanyo OEM, is they have multiple part numbers on the package, one of which is HR-3U, Sanyo's 2500 part #. I might need to get some for my Mag74, now that it's bored for larger cells.

They should perform equally to the Energizer 2500mAh which I tested to be around 2,000mAh after sitting around for a little over a week. Keep in mind that the discharge is high during the first day or two and stabilizes. These Energizer gave me a full capacity of 2.4Ah, so among four batteries, they lost 17% in eight days. Give 5-10% for day one and 1% thereafter. It doesn't seem too bad.
