Kodak Max 4 NiMH 2100mAh Rechargeable AA Batteries

EASTMAN KODAK 8909012 MAX AA NIMH 4/PACK BATTERIES

1 Does not hold charge
I gave this review 1 star becaause I could not select any lower.

This battery is one of the worst that I've come across. It does not hold a charge for more than 15 shots in a Kodak DX series camera. I am using the recommended Kodak charger. I use the sony batteries without any issues. DO NOT PURCHASE unless you have money to throw away!!! Note that I have had the same issue with a previous set of Kodak batteries, but thought they may have been giving problems because I hardly ever use.

2 Worth the extra money
These batteries are green in color, not red as shown. They are made by Sanyo in Japan & are of excellent quality. They last really long. Get only the Kodak Charger & NOT other brand, i had the bad experience in mixing battery & charger from diff brands.

Now, i got more of these & use them in toys, kitchen electrics etc. etc. Got some Kodak AAA as well & each charge lasts 3 months or so in my wireless mouse.

3 KODAK NiMH Pack
A quad package of a better environment.
Being able to recharge is vital especially at the very high cost basis.

Shopping here does have a great benefit in cost comparison as well reviews. Thats why I think, we all look in here and shop.

The NiMH batteries do not have a memory so that is another advantage. NiCAD's do.

Kodak I think does charge a premium for its name and private lable on the products. But what do people expect? Getting a quality package of a product but paying for less...

4 Why so much $$$?
I love Kodak, and was saddened by the recent financial trouble the company has recently been going through. I hope they survive. But I can't help but wonder why so much for batteries that the popular brand-name competitors charge half the price that Kodak charges for theirs? These have the same power rating and quality as Kodak's.

5 A great battery for high drain devices!
I've used Kodak's 1850mAh NiMH batteries for about a year in my Olympus C-4000, and they're fantastic. I can get hundreds of (daylight) shots, or several weeks of intermittent use, before needing to recharge. With its higher capacity, the 2100mAh battery should be even better.

These high capacity NiMH batteries work great in frequent use/high drain devices, such as cameras, flashlights, PDA's, CD players, toys, etc. Unlike NiCads, they don't contain the toxic heavy metal cadmium. They aren't subject to any significant "memory effect," so they don't need to be discharged fully before recharging. They will outperform both NiCads and throwaway alkaline batteries in high drain devices, and can be recharged more than 500 times. Their only disadvantage is that they self-discharge over time, losing 1-2% of their capacity per day. Alkaline batteries are still the best bet for low drain devices such as clocks and remote controls.

With the appropriate adapters, such as those sold by Star Batteries, you can even use your NiMH AA's in your C and D cell flashlights!

For best results, charge these in a charger designed for NiMH batteries. For longest battery life use a smart charger that protects against both overcharging and overheating, and signals when charging is complete.
