Powerex 2700!

cwtan12 · 16th April 2007

I am using Eneloops but I see a lot of Energizer which is a lot more expensive than Eneloops here. Anyone using Energizer?

I have a set of 4 2500mAh Energizers... it's outright

!!! Cannot hold charge at all!

I am now using Powerex 2700mAh. I last charged them 1 month ago and yesterday I can still fire quite a number of shots with them in my flash.

gomobile · 16th April 2007

actually the 2700 GP seem to perform well le, i always charge them and use them 2 - 3 time s a week for few shots. 2- 3 wks later still got power.

if im not wrong, 2500mAH energizers also have batch problem just like sanyo 2500mAH. maybe they are OEM from sanyo. u can call energizer up and get the batts changed. my fren just got a new set of 2500

good luck!

Zaknafein · 18th April 2007

and btw, im also using powerex 2700... works very well for me!
but just out of curiousity, anyone that has used both powerex and eneloop batts can share with us, which brand do u prefer?
