Review on Tenergy Centura 1.2V NiMH Rechargeable D Battery, 8000mAh LSD D Cell Batteries, Pre-Charged D Size Battery, 4 Pack - UL Certified by Dave Skidmore

Questionable failure rate. 8 batteries bought, 1 battery defective after 2 discharge and charge cycles. That is 12.5% of the failures. Is it acceptable? I would say no Fully charged batteries last longer than traditional alkaline batteries, so the trade-off can be worthwhile. Instead of buying 16 batteries from Walmart for $24, which is 2 charge cycles, I bought 8 tenergies from Amazon for $46, with one battery dead. This dead battery costs about $6. Just note that this item is non-returnable, buyers beware. Update 5/4/19 I got help from Jerlin from Tenergy customer service who contacted me and explained that although the batteries were out of warranty they offered to replace the dead battery. Got a replacement today. Many Thanks.
