Will be buying more in the future. These batteries are a great value since they can be reused so often. Good performance from them as well.
I've seen a website that has a picture of this battery sawn in half, and it's obviously just a double AA inside. If you're camping, that just renders the flashlight almost useless.Look at the rated capacity of the battery.
These only have 2500maH. A decent D-cell should have 5000maH capacity; a good one, 10000maH.
These Ray-o-Vacs are really just a "AA" battery in a "D" case. When I put these batteries into a flashlight with regular D-cells, they only last about a quarter of the time; it seems like I have to open the flashlight and replace them every time I use it.
-Boyce Byerly Paul L.'s review is exactly on the money.
The battery itself is palpably far lighter than a regular D-cell.
This batterys specs is baffling - it should be at least 8K - the MAHA NiMH D-Cell is 10K millamps / hour.
I have seen complaints that they aren't for high capacity use so know what you need them for. Got these to use in a solar recharger and they charged great and we are using them in a lantern and they seem to work just fine.
I can't speak to the inner construction of the Rayovac, but it has a capcity of 2200 mAh -- definitely in the AA range (in fact, somewhat low for a good rechargeable AA these days). Do a little web searching and you'll find the Energizer is really an AA-sized cell in a "D" package - but sells for much more. If you want the power capacity that a "D" size package should give you, look elsewhere -- the capacity should be in the 10,000+ mAh range. Be careful when shopping for rechargeable batteries. The Rayovac (and Energizer) products have the same Amp-Hour capacity as a "AA" battery.
