Why did they change the batteries they had out? The older 2200 and 2400 NiMH were awsome these new things they are selling are total junk.

They have seem to pulled the older better batteries and replaced them with these new precharged batteries and they arnt bad right out of the package but after that trying to recharge them and them actualy holding another charge like the first forget about it.

Some of my older duracell and kodak cells have flattened out after some 50-75 charges i lost count after the first year or so so i decided to just ditch em all and get new ones. Man what a mistake.

They feel like the older ones as far as weight and the ends look like they are of the same metal but they sure dont perform like the older ones for sure.

Anyone else have any thoughts on whats going on?

Im getting about the same amount of shots from these newer rechargable as i do with plain old alkalines. 20-30 and they are cashed.

What camera/device are you using them in? When I was shooting with my S2, switching to the newer low-drain type NiMHs almost doubled the number of shots I could take.

Who is "they"? No problems with my Eneloops. My Energizer and Duracell NiMH batteries run low when I leave them in the bag for awhile.

I'll never go back from the Low Discharge NiMH. You must have gotten a bum set.
