Do Rechargeable Batteries Lose Their Charge

If you use off camera flashes, this charge and some good rechargeable batteries are a must.

These rechargeable batteries hold their charge better than my previous set.

Holds the charge well, don't have to waste non rechargeable batteries

If you hate buying batteries over and over, or you hate how other rechargeable batteries lose power quickly, these bad boys are for you! I use these exclusively in my camera flashes now and the refresh rate is much faster than on my other batteries at this point.

This is my 10th HP4. I use rechargeable batteries and use these daily. I lose them every now and then as a mechanic, then quickly return to Coast for another.

So far these batteries are exemplary. Hold a charge well and are very inexpensive for what you get. Do recommend.

Do know how I went so long with out. Charges really fast, no 4 to 5 hours waiting for my batteries to charge up.

These are the best rechargeable batteries I've ever purchased. They hold a charge far longer than any others I've had.

Not much to say about this.. it's a rechargeable battery. Get it if you don't want to wait to charge just the 1 battery that comes with the OM-D. Also get it if you have the battery grip from Olympus as it is nice to double your photo time without swapping out batteries midway through. I would have tried one of the generic cheap brands, and I'm pretty sure they'd hold up well, but most require another charger and I just didn't want to deal with carrying around and juggling chargers and batteries, so I stuck with the pricier Olympus brand.. hey, at least you know it should work without a problem.

I also own the standard Eneloop batteries, but these are even BETTER. These rechargeable batteries easily exceeded my expectation. I decided to by the Eneloop Pro charger kit so I can charge these up. Summary: - These come with 4 x AAs that were precharged via solar energy. - They are 2550mAh NiMH batteries at 1.2V. - If you dont use them, they dont really discharge like most rechargeables. Theyll hold about 85% of their charge over the course of 1 year. - You can use the charger to charge both AAA & AA. - There are charge indicator lights. - It has an integrated, retractable AC plug that makes it nice and portable. - It will automatically shutoff to protect your batteries from overcharging. - You can recharge them up to 500 cycles. The Eneloops Pros are definitely my go-to rechargeable batteries. I used them for the external flashes for my Sony mirrorless cameras, as well as for their transmitters most of the time. These are great for high-drain devices. =]
