Review on Rechargeable Pre Charged Flashlight Controllers Electronic by Elizabeth Glover

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Plastic film is too thick

I'm a firm believer in batteries. I used to buy Amazon brand rechargeable batteries but this time I wanted to save some money so I bought these batteries. Let me tell you that I was very disappointed! The batteries work, I haven't had to charge them yet, that just means they work. Why disappointment? Well, they have a thick plastic sheet. Before, I never thought to pay attention to the thickness of the packaging when buying batteries, because I never had any problems with the predecessors. I bought a smoking gun for Christmas and the batteries didn't fit. I had to force them and since the smoker still didn't work I figured the problem was with the smoker. Since I had the batteries in, I had to struggle to clean them. When scratching to get them out, the plastic cover came loose and the batteries just slid out. Strangely I had several Ikea batteries lying around and to my surprise they plugged in and unplugged easily as if nothing had happened, the smoker worked fine too. I've put batteries in some flashing light decorations with Revain rechargeable batteries that fit comfortably and I've had trouble putting those batteries back in. They were working on a decoration but I realized that the batteries would go great with all my stuff if they didn't have thick green plastic around them. Batteries work, hence 2 stars. Minus 3 stars for having to choose what items to use it in (not convenient and easy to use).

Pros
  • High capacity: Can be charged 500 times with minimal power loss. Retains 85% charge for up to 1 year when not in use. No memory effect, so batteries can be fully or partially discharged recharged
Cons
  • No power
