They took 85 shots with flash in my digital camera with
thier first charge and they are still going. It would have cost me at
least 4
sets of alkaline batt to do the same. A1 Thanks again Edwin" |

Ecobatteries reccomends Maha
fast chargers. Why do the batteries in my camera do not last ? If one battery has a lower voltage than the others then it is
faulty
and
will pull the others down. Replace it. To test for this, when the batteries are discharged measure the
indivual
batteries voltage with a
voltmeter. Only place a voltmeter across a battery
instantly and never use an ampmeter. As rechargeable batteries self discharge
they must be charged before putting them into storage. If left in a
charger
that is turned off the batteries will discharge through the charger. NiMH Information Web sites Click here for ordering and pricing. |   Maha MH C204W fast charger. $49.00 |
