Product Reviews of Rayovac I-C3 15 Minute NiMH AA Size Carded 2 Pack
Product Review: Hard to Find, Quick to Charge!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought some of these, plus the charger, at a closeout sale, and they are the quickest charging (15 min!!!), most reliable rechargeable batteries I've ever used. They're not so easy to find, anymore, but I have yet to find a better, faster charging rechargeable. Awesome choice for gaming and photo devices.Product Review: Not bad at first, but ...
Summary: 2 Stars
Sure it's fast, but it's hot, really hot. Once charged you have to let the batteries cool off for a good 10 minutes. So how fast is fast if you can't use your charged batteries right away !!
And then there is the shelf life issue...after 8 months of using and recharging my Rayovac I-C3 batteries, using the RadioShack 15 minute i-c3 charger, my batteries don't hold their charge for very long, not even for a month (forget about storing these batteries for emergency use) and they seem not to last as long as before.
I have moved to using eneloop NiMH batteries and the La Crosse charger, hoping this will be a better solution.
Product Review: Outdated product but works great!
Summary: 4 Stars
Although Rayovac does not make this product anymore (not sure how long it has been off the market) I have the Rayovac 15 minute charger and wanted more of these batteries after my original set (bought 7 years ago) stopped holding a charge. The condition of the packaging was new and intact. They were delivered within the time frame promised by the distributor. The batteries charged right up and I have been using them in my digital camera and they seem to hold their charge as well as should be expected from new batteries. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.Product Review: Rayovac rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had some of these AA Ic3's for YEARS, that are still working. Sometimes I have to twist them when I load them into the charger, to get them to start charging. I've noticed other reviewers mention the same problem, but to me it's pretty minor. These are so great for my kids toys! We've used them in Leapsters, keyboards, cameras, etc. I don't understand why they aren't available in local stores anymore, they are terrific batteries that last forever. 15 minute charging systems are hard to find and expensive, so I'll be buying more of these batteries online while I still can, instead of investing in a whole new system. And yes, they do get hot when they charge, but I've never waited for them to cool down before using them. It's no worse than grabbing a mug of hot coffee and they do work right away.
