Batteries Reviews

Sony's T-665C is an awesome PDA! Downside? So many cool things to do with it that you are liable to run low on power away from homebase sooner or later... (usually at the worst possible time!)

With this product this is no longer an issue. AA batteries are available everywhere. I think it is a bit over priced, but the first time it saves your [tail], you won't feel so bad springing for it!

My Clie is indispensible for my work. Sony batteries have been unreliable in the past. This portable charger gives me reassurance that I won't be stuck at work with a low battery. I've used it twice, and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend this accessory for people have their cradle at home, spend long periods away and heavily use their Clie.

This helps me when I am in class and I am typing and typing and do not have time in between classes to charge my Clié. I'd recommend it.

Streamlight Scorpion is a very good general purpose flashlight, as the light is bright, and quite even when the beam is set tigth. The light is easy to operate with tailcap end click-on switch, but there is no separate momentary switch. You can depress the click-on switch halfway down to get the same effect, but that is not as good a solution as a separate momentary switch would have been.

The light is brigth with fresh batteries, but the light dims quite fast as the batteries are used. The light bulb heats up with constant use, and that can melt a hole into the plastic lens. That has happened twice to me, as the light has been clicked on accidentally without me noticing that. The light beam is adjustable, but when adjusted wide, there are some serious dark rings on the beam. The body of the flashlight is covered with rubber sleeve. I like the feel of that, although it is possible that the flashlight can stick to clothing when removed from pocket, but I haven't any problems like that.

This flashlight is a very good choice for general purpose flashlight, and the price is reasonable. It is not suitable for a tactical light (for law enforcement, for example), mainly because it has no momentary switch.

One night I was fixing my speakers in the rear of the car. I used my Scorpion Streamlight to give me some extra light. For some reason I accidently left the flashlight on when it was sitting on the backseat. Meanwhile, several minutes later I smelled some burning and it was the Scorpion slowly burning a hole through my back seat. I was upset but surprised by the power of this little flashlight. Whenever I bust out this little guy out my friends react in awe by how much light comes from this little flashlight. I'm quite pleased but the batteries aren't cheap. My advice on batteries are to look for some on Ebay that run cheaper and buy in bulk. It has a nice rubberized grip for nice handling. I even hold it with my teeth when my hands are occuppied as I look at my engine in my car at night. This flashlight kicks the shizzle out of a maglite but it really drains the batteries if you have it one for a long time.

The Streamlight Scorpion is a small light that puts out a lot of brightness for its size.

Powered by 2, 3-volt lithium batteries this flashlight is pretty small (both in diameter and length). You'll be amazed how such a small flashlight can light up a room or an object at night.

The pushbutton switch is on the bottom of the light, so that might take getting used to. It's a three function switch (on/off/momentary on). The body of the flashlight is coated with rubber, so it's easy to grip if your hands are wet. However, this makes it difficult to bring out if you keep it in your pants pocket or a holster.

The beam quality is nice: no "holes" or "rings" in the spotlight.

Pluses: small size, bright light, manufacturer with good reputation for quality, lithium batteries have 10 year shelf life.

Minues: Takes 3-Volt lithium batteries (can be expensive), flashlight is fairly expensive.

This is a good light to keep in the car glove compartment for emergencies because it's small and the lithium batteries will keep for a long time.

Would I buy this again? Yes, but because of the cost I would make sure that I don't lose it.

Mostly, this is great. You get a reasonably powerful backup system, software control, and even a nice power strip. With its 500VA rating, you'll have plenty of power to ride out a short outage, and plenty of time to safely shut down in a longer outage. It's easy to set up and works great.

OK, here is the key flaw. This unit is advertised as being a great item for home or home-office computers. Problem: Its alarm starts to beep - quite loudly - ANY time the power goes out. I find this really inappropriate for a piece of electronics. My power is reasonably reliable, but like most people, we have occasional outages. In fact, my local utility likes to service the lines in the middle of the night.

Do I really need a loud beeper to wake up the family every time we have a 10 minute outage at 3am?

APC really needs to add a control to deactivate or otherwise control the alarm.

This power supply will run my equipment for 21 minutes, more than long enough for me to switch to a back up generator. If I ignore the power outage, it automatically backs up files. In addition, it will kick in for low and high voltage conditions, and bridges those annonying one and two second outages that cause reboots. All in all, it is a real convenience.

And the alarm CAN be controlled. It can be shut off entirely. It can also be set to remain silent when the PC is off or hibernating. It can also be set to remain silent between a given hour and another given hour.

I love my ZR45MC, but it really requires this extended battery.

The battery that came with my ZR45MC is woefully inadequate for anything but a handful of brief cameo shots. Also, the charge doesn't hold for any extended period of time. You may pull out your ZR to catch a great moment in time only to find that the battery has discharged while idle in the camera bag. Not using the LCD does help the situation quite a bit.

This extended battery makes a good primary battery and seems to go more than twice as long as the normal one. Also, you can then use the original as a backup (as long as you refresh it's charge occassionally :-) ).

The battery is great, but Amazon offers the accessory kit with the same battery, plus a mini-dv tape and a carrying case for the same price. The case is useless for the ZR series, but might come in handy for some other purpose.

This product works well especially for those people that can't ever seem to find a pack of batteries around the house. Nothing like going to the gas station and pay $10 for a pack of batteries. I think this would be a great investment for you if you use your radios a lot.

I love this battery this is what i use for my cobra frs 250 and it works perfectly!!! Thank you !

Good product - but had to guess whether it would be compatible with my camcorder. Luckily it was.

This battery is great if you need record for a long time. I bought this battery 6 months ago as a replacement for the sony one that came with my camcorder and just didn't hold a charge anymore.

This energizer NiMH battery is great - there's no memory effect so you don't have to run it down before charging it again. On my Hi8 camcorder, I've used it for over 4 hours of recording and it had power left when I put my camcorder away.

I'd definitely recommend this battery for those who are planning on doing recording of events where multiple camcorder tapes will be used - this battery will last through a few of them. With this battery, I don't feel the need to have a backup in case it runs out because . .. well . .. it just doesn't run out.

It is a bit on the heavy side though, so if you have a smaller camcorder or if you will be handholding the camcorder for a while, I'd recommending going with slimmer battery. This adds quite a bit of weight to the camera, so be prepared to carry that weight with you wherever you go.

Overall, this battery deserves 5 stars because it does what a battery is supposed to do. Though its weight is its only issue, that can't be helped because the dense cells inside the battery are what allow the battery to hold so much charge.

The batteries that come with this are made by Sanyo & are EXCELLENT !

Careful on 2 fronts:
1. The charger used to be made by Sanyo & is no longer true. They are made in china but the quality seems to be very acceptable.

2. Can charge 4AAs & only 2 AAAs. But you can all do 6 at the same time.

3. It charging time depends on mah rating. It charges in 1 hr for 800mah AAA. It takes 2 hours or so for 2100mah. But stil it is worth it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well-designed rapid charger that does worldwide voltages (110/220V). Comes with four 2100 MA batteries. Batteries can be charged 1, 2, 3 or 4 at a time. It accepts a maximum of 4AA's or 2AAA's. A separate power cord that plugs into the side of the charger is provided, unlike the usual alternatives - either ungainly flip plugs on the back of the charger, or prongs that stick out an inch from the back of the charger - that are common in chargers of this size. The whole ensemble, including batteries, fits nicely into the accessory pocket of a large digital camera pouch with at least 2 inches (thickness) of space for accessories.

When the battery in my panasonic cordless phone went flat and would no lonegr hold charge I bough an aftermarket replacement. After 3 months the replacement was as bad as the battery I replaced. So far the Panasonic replcement has worked fine.

I'm just now buying my first replacement battery. I have used this battery in my phone for over 6 years. Held a charge for days and days.

We purchased a Mavica that came with a NPF330 battery several years ago. Like another reviewer mentioned, our battery began to act up in very little time though we could never associate any particular event with why it happened. The old battery would show over 100 minutes available until you used the camera - especially with the flash on - an then would go to zero! It never worked well after that.

This new battery is great and I appreciate the other reviewer's mention of luggage inspection machines perhaps being a problem. I'll try to keep this battery out of harm's way now that I know what might harm it!

Sony's battery works as promised; nothing special about it. It works the same as any other lithium battery, starting out with great battery time, but slowly decreasing over the years. The one thing that bothers me...

I bought this battery to replace a Sony NP-F330 that came with my Sony camera. That battery started experiencing problems only one year after purchase. I noticed that the battery seemed to jump from 90 min of battery life to, suddenly, 0 min left. This only atarted to occur after my luggage went through those metal detectors at the airport. The security people said that it was possible that all lithium batteries, not just Sony, could be ruined as a result of going through airport security. Since the time I've bought this new battery, I have not gone to the airport, so I don't know if this battery gets ruined also. But just beware, going on vacation could ruin your...battery.

I haven't seen this problem in other reviews, so it might just happen to me. Who knows...

Other than that problem, this battery has no problem charging, being used, etc. I just don't think that a battery should cost almost half the price of the camera itself. Oh well...

We have this battery as well as the 2 hour Info-Lithium that came with our Sony Mavica. It's a great addition, especially when we're out and about and don't want to miss a shot because of a dead battery.

what can I say: Its the right battery for my Sony D8 camcorder. Longlasting and not overly big. 5 stars if the price was better.

This battery works in all conditions and is a never fail battery. I have used it for 7 years and never had problems.

My original sony battery was short lived, ordered this one...et voila! super long duration! I can film and film without worrying about the battery dying. another product that works exactly as advertised! congrats sony and thanks.
