Energizer NIMH's 2500mah junk!

[gregoryh]

Well as usual you guys are correct. After several cycles of use the self-discharge is terrible. Better charge them and use them immediately. I think I will discard them rather than wear out my 9000 trying to get use out of them. I always grab the Rayovac Hybrids I bought before Walmart quite carrying them. Now I will try to find some Eneloops. Even tho the capacity is less, they seem to last longer on the average due to the rediculously accelerated self discharge. In the dumpster they go!
Thanks guys for all you valuabel insight to this rediculous disease we seem to have contracted!

Duracell Pre-Charged (LSD) made in Japan white top surrounding the +ve button are confirmed rebadged eneloops .

These may be easier to find in local stores - pricing can be high - but many stores put them on sale, so they can be had for $10/4 or under (also there may still be packs with the instant $2 off coupons)
