Product Description

Why is the Hybrid AA battery better? The Hybrid AA Battery is the next step in battery evolution. Original Alkaline batteries could only be used once and had to be thrown away. Bad for the environment, and bad for your wallet. Why throw money away? Nimh Rechargeable batteries were the solution, they could be used over and over again, but they had to be charged right out of the package, and would slowly drain even when not being used. If left sitting for a few months after being charged it would drain completely. The latest and greatest battery technological improvement, the Hybrid AA, overcomes these limitations by being ready to use right out of the package and holding it's charge up to four times as long. You can charge your batteries and they will be ready to go when you need them, no more charging immediately before use. *These batteries will work with any device that uses AA batteries, and replace any obsolete Alkaline AA or Nimh AA batteries.* COMPATIBLE w/ CANON PowerShot A560 A570 IS 350 A10 A100 A20 A200 A30 A300 A310 A40 A400 A410 A430 A460 A510 A520 A530 A540 A550 A60 A610 A620 A630 A640 A70 A700 A710 IS A75 A80 A85 A95 S1 IS S2 IS S3 IS and all other models powered by AA NiMH batteries

What you need to know about "HYBRID Technology" Batteries.......2007-10-24

Please note that I have not purchased this item ("NiMH Rechargeable Batteries with New Advanced HYBRID Technology"), so I cannot comment on its quality. However, I like to clarify some confusion about marketing claims here.

1. The claim of "4 times longer lasting" is actually referring to the battery's storage life (when it is NOT being used), and not its operation time or capacity.

2. No matter what brand of digital camera you have, as long as it accepts AA cells, you can use ANY brand of rechargeable NiMH cells in it. However, it is best to choose the latest generation of low self-discharge cells. Here's why:

All rechargeable NiMH batteries suffer from a problem called "self-discharge". This problem is especially bad for AA cells with capacity of 2500mAh or higher. If you charge up a set of those NiMH cells and leave them in your camera, the cells start to lose their charge rapidly even when the camera is off. Then when you want to use the camera a few weeks later, you'll likely be greeted by the "low battery" indicator. Because of this problem, you always have to recharge the cells just before using them.

A new generation of rechargeable NiMH (often called "read-to-use", "Pre-Charged" or "Hybrid") are specially designed to have very low self-discharge rate. They typically claim to retain about 80% of their charges in 6 months (the Sanyo eneloop claims to retain 85% in 12 months, but that was only based on simulation test under room temperature). However, this advantage comes with a trade-off in cappacity. Typical capacity of a LSD (low self-discharge) AA cell is only around 2000-2100mAh, compared to 2500-2700mAh for the older generation of NiMH cells.

I have personally tested several brands of LSD cells, and I can attest that they do work (almost) as well as advertised. For any of my photo equipment, I'll pick a set of dependable 2000mAh LSD cells over a set of unreliable 2500mAh cells, any time.

What you need to know about "HYBRID Technology" Batteries.......2007-11-08

Please note that I have not purchased this item, so I cannot comment on its quality. However, I like to clarify some confusion about marketing claims here.

1. The claim of "4 times longer lasting" is actually referring to the battery's storage life (when it is NOT being used), and not its operation time or capacity.

2. No matter what brand of digital camera you have, as long as it accepts AA cells, you can use ANY brand of rechargeable NiMH cells in it. However, it is best to choose the latest generation of low self-discharge cells. Here's why:

All rechargeable NiMH batteries suffer from a problem called "self-discharge". This problem is especially bad for AA cells with capacity of 2500mAh or higher. If you charge up a set of those NiMH cells and leave them in your camera, the cells start to lose their charge rapidly even when the camera is off. Then when you want to use the camera a few weeks later, you'll likely be greeted by the "low battery" indicator. Because of this problem, you always have to recharge the cells just before using them.

A new generation of rechargeable NiMH (often called "read-to-use", "Pre-Charged" or "Hybrid") are specially designed to have very low self-discharge rate. They typically claim to retain about 80% of their charges in 6 months (the Sanyo eneloop claims to retain 85% in 12 months, but that was only based on simulation test under room temperature). However, this advantage comes with a trade-off in cappacity. Typical capacity of a LSD (low self-discharge) AA cell is only around 2000-2100mAh, compared to 2500-2700mAh for the older generation of NiMH cells.

I have personally tested several brands of LSD cells, and I can attest that they do work (almost) as well as advertised. For any of my photo equipment, I'll pick a set of dependable 2000mAh LSD cells over a set of unreliable 2500mAh cells, any time.
