Review on Long-Lasting Power: EBL Rechargeable C Batteries With 5000MAh Capacity, Pack Of 8 by Eric Schwalbe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Didn't last long…but company replaced them free of charge

I bought these batteries two years ago and use them in some battery operated candles that I have. The candles are on a timer and come on for a few hours each day. I found that these needed to be charged fairly frequently, which I can get past. But I also noticed that they would consistently throw an error message on my battery charger. I found a youtube video for how to fix that (put negative end of charged batter to negative end of dead battery and use metal tongs to connect positive ends for a minute). That seemed to work well enough to then let me charge them. Today after fully charging they wont work at all. I would expect them to last more than two years especially since i don't use the candles all the time.Edit: the company saw my review and offered to replace the old batteries. So far, the new ones are working. I am hoping they last longer. I appreciate the great customer service!

Pros
  • Life of a battery is everything.
Cons
  • Not ideal for emergency situations that require quick battery replacement
