Do the batteries hold their charge? If you charge them fully but they sit in your bag for a few days are they still fully charged? Or do they drain?

Maybe some of their battery stock is better than others...mine held their charge just fine. I am happy with my purchase. I knew there had been some negative reviews when I made the purchase but figured it was worth the gamble at that price...it paid off for me. Also, I figured the chargers were worth the price even without batteries so why not try. BTW...the chargers work fine too. The AC unit is way better than the charger that came with my RX 10.

They do drain a little. I just checked a battery (loose) that was fully charged a week ago, and it's down to 86%. Not terrible. The battery in my camera, which I filmed with on and off for 90min in short bursts, is down to 88%, ironically. If you're traveling for a day or 2 in transit, I'm pretty sure they'll be close to full. And in my experience, they do last well on the job.

The batteries don't hold a charge for more than a few minutes and die again. I finally quit using it as it was a total waste

The batteries drain quickly. The AC unit is Ok and worth the price even without batteries. It is way better than the charger to my RX 10.

Yes. Put them in a dumb charger for a few minutes and they will begin to take a charge. You can then put them back into your smart charger and they will charge.This works for most but not all batteries that fail.

The ones that I purchased, yes the battery is rechargeable. But, if there's a way to replace the battery, that would be great because the batteries suck now. They don't hold a charge for anything. I haven't checked to see if I can replace them. I'll check tonight though.

I forgot mine for a couple of days and I have not had any problem with them. They still have the same full charge as before and I use mine in a nebulizer so I'm aware of the time they are used for.

I have had no problem with mine they still work or recharge well and hold a charge when not in use. I really haven't recharged them enough to know how long "Normal" would be.

mine was almost fully charged too when I got mine. I think they pack them with the chemistry activated (probably to save the battery - these kinds of rechargeables don't like being flat), and these packs hold their charge for a long time.

I leave the batteries charging all the time, except when I'm using the trimmer of course, because they take so long to charge. Have been doing this with two batteries for a year or so and they still seem to be holding a good charge.

I would do one of two things. Charge them for 24 hours. Or send them back. Mine only lasted about 3 charges. That still put them roughly the price of a good disposable battery, but these are not high quality.

I purchased these batteries for our 3 week trip through Europe and they never failed once. Used them in a Nikon CoolPix L820 and the camera worked flawlessly. The battery indicator always showed full charge, until the charge was depleted, reason I bought 2 sets, and we always had the backup with us. At night I would charge the depleted set and by morning they were ready to go. During the entire trip I had to pull the charge out 3 times, and we took over 1800 pictures with the Nikon. Hope this helps.

They are not rechargeables. Not sure if they're used. I don't remember. It's been a while. I checked them on a battery tester and they have a full charge.

I charge them all the time. I'm sure it may take longer than lower output batteries but I have not measured the difference.

Yes, my batteries lasted a short time also. I purchased rechargeable ones & the charge has lasted so far 4 months.

I believe all batteries of this type will loose some amount of charge. My experience has been that it holds a charge well even if not being used for a number of days. I wish I could be more quantitative but hope that helps.

I have not done that as of yet. It is my understanding you can leave them in as long as you want and a trickle charge will keep them at full charge. This info was from another sight.

There are low drain rechargeable batteries on the market. These hold their charge longer even when not in use. They are what I use and buy then off Ebay.

I've left them in for a reasonable period of time (life of batteries) with no ill effect, though it could possible shorten the battery life. I have no evidence, just a hunch.

The batteries are delivered fully charged. I normal recharge every other day. Although the charge will last longer.
