Raido Shack IC-3 batteries hyped.
 

My Pro 64 takes four AA's and :-/...

...."each one charges up to 1000 times!"
...."charge in just 15 minutes using a RadioShack I-C3 charger!"
...."last up to 4x longer in your digital camera than regular alkaline
batteries."


Has anyone around here given these a fair trial, should we rush out to
buy, or instead to string up the RS ad writer?

Aren't they the 15 minute rayovac's that have been around for some time? Charge
[properly] only in the specified charger and that charger won't charge anything
else? Seems regular NiMH a better bet -- at least for interoperability.

Most digital cameras eat alkaline batteries. The cam requires high current
pulses that the alkalines do not put out very well.

They aren't "Radio Shack" AFAIK.. They are made by someone else and
rebranded by RS for sale in RS stores.

These are Ni-MH batteries. They work as advertised.
If you slow charge them you get more cycles.
Note that the advertisement says "upto 1000 times"

I bought an overnight charger and four 1800 milliamp hour AA's from Big
Lots for $10

I keep these in a Pro-95 (which like your 64 has a charging circuit)

I just bought a second set of DURACELL NiMH AA'S (2000 Milliamp hours) at
Wal-Mart for my yaesu vr-500 also for approximately $10.

They last like an alkaline with out the down sides of Nicads.
