Duracell - rechargeable NiMH batteries Review

These duracell rechargeable batteries are great for toys, television remotes and things that don't drain the batteries immediately.  However, if you plan on putting them in your camera and using them for a long period of time, you should make sure you take extras with you.  The batteries do have a longer life than your traditional battery. 

Over time, the batteries lose their ability to hold a long charge time.  I feel somewhat disappointed that when trying to take 10 to 20 pictures in a row with my digital camera, i have to stop and replace the batteries right at the wrong time.  It makes me miss some really great photo opportunities. 

I do think the batteries are adequate for childrens toys as they are not in a continuous usage environment.  Make sure not to leave them in the charger when the charging cycle has finished as this actually drains the batteries you have just finished charging which defeats the whole purpose of you just charging them.  Also, the time to allow for recharging the batteries is 15 minutes, so be prepared with extra batteries or have to wait!
