Sony Cycle Energy AAA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack)

Editorial Review:

Sony's newest rechargeable battery technology seeks to bridge the gap between regular alkaline batteries and NiMH rechargeable batteries.

They maintain 85 percent of their charge after one year and can be recharged up to 1,000 times. This new technology offers consumers the convenience of a ready-to-use rechargeable battery that is longer lasting and environmentally friendly.

Pleased so far:

I've been using the orange-colored Cycle Energy version of Sony's rechargeables, but tried these because of their low self-discharge characteristic. They're best-suited for low-drain applications, I assume, such as mice, keyboards, and TV/DVD remotes. They may also work especially well in high-drain, low-duration devices such as LED flashlights or night-lights. Compared with the original version, it appears the user trades off some run-time for improved shelf-life. After less than a month of use, they've... more info
