Product Reviews of Rayovac I-C3 15 Minute Rechargeable Batteries, AA , 4 batteries
Product Review: The best and fastest on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a digital camera and I was tired of going though AA batteries every day. Generally rechargeable batteries take 24 hours to charge which is way too long. Then I saw this product that boast a 15 min charge time. So I gave it a try and it works great! I got a 4 pack of AA's and I just swap between them when using my digital camera. These are the only batteries that I will buy from now on.Product Review: The longest lasting rechargeables I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a very high-drain device, these are great. I have and edirol r1 portable studio recorder, and these batteries will allow it to record for 4 hours straight. With other rechargeables, I'm lucky to get 1.5 hours recording time.Product Review: There are better products out there so shop around.
Summary: 1 Stars
There are additional costs to this product to seriously consider before you purchase it for the first time.
1. High start up cost:
The batteries need a special I-C3 charger and the batteries won't charge in any other charger I have tried. The special charger for the I-C3 is expensive. It also has trouble charging regular NiMH batteries - they can take up to a whole night to charge.
2. Product is not competitive:
There is nothing special about the battery or the charger.
The rating of the battery is 2000 mah and the battery charges in 15 minutes. I have recently purchased another brand of NiMH batteries that are rated at 2500 mah. They charge in 15 minutes on a less expensive charger
3. How long will the product really last?
While the product indicates, on the packaging and in the description, that it will take 1,000 charges the manufacturer's website indicates only 500 charges.
Product Review: They do what they say they do!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is my understanding that Rayovac is no longer producing these batteries. Get 'em while you can because these are the *BEST* batteries for consumer goods I've ever used. 15 minutes fills em up, every time. Love it. WHY would they ever stop producing? Well apparently they tend to discharge fast while sitting on the shelf but 15 minutes later, they're all charged up and ready to go so who cares!
I love 'em!
Caveat: You do have to use their charger, but that seems like a small price to pay considering it's a *very* small charger and quite easy to use.
Product Review: Three years, still going strong in all my devices
Summary: 5 Stars
Who has time for 12-hour or even 4-hour rechargeables?
I've been using Rayovac I-C3 rechargeables for 3 years
with complete satisfaction in all my AA- and AAA-powered devices
(cameras, music players, even a portable fan!) On the road, the
15-minute recharge lets me 'top up' during lunch,
taking hundreds of pictures a day. Power-hungry cameras recycle fast
and display is bright on these high-current (2300 mAh) batteries.
The compact, 2-battery charger DOES work on European 230V current.
After 3 years and 25000 pix, my first set of AAs is just starting to
fade. I hope these stay on the market -- I've seen nothing better.
High cost? Must have saved $800 already compared to discardables.
