sthnguyen: #tenergy_aa_nimh_batteries Same problem with Tenergy AA batteries. I purchased 40 AA batteries since they were almost as cheap as alkalines. At first everything seems alright but then I noticed that they did not seem to work after a few uses. I realized that they do cannot hold a charge. I tested two of random batteries in my charger that has a test mode and found the capacity to be 0.036mA and 360mA for another and will test the rest. Given that two random batteries are pretty bad doesn't bode well for the rest of the batteries.

I have Tenergy C and D size batteries and they work fine. They hold their charge over at least three months and they are still working but I will definitely try to stay away from them in the future regardless of the battery size.

What it comes down to is either Tenergy had very poor quality control by not testing the batteries after production or knew they were bad and shipped them anyways (which is fraudulent). Either way, it is unacceptable as Mattb had put it.

Word of advice. Stay away from Tenergy AA batteries. Sep 30, 08
