Rechargeable Batteries POWEROWL Capacity Discharge Reviews Summary

Battery Life

Pros:

• "I have had these AAA rechargeable batteries for over a year and I have recharged them when needed - they are in use nightly in automatic candles and lanterns, and they are STILL GOING just like day one."
• "I have purchased both AA and AAA batteries along with an 8 bay charger. The batteries have worked well in all the devices I have used them in."
• "I have been using this brand of rechargeable battery for a couple of years. They charge fairly quickly and last a long time."
• "I have a lot of battery-operated candles, and rechargeable is definitely the way to go. No more buying and land-filling the short-lived regular batteries."
• "I have a charger and batteries from over a year ago. They continue to perform."
• "This is the third set of these batteries I have ordered and am slowly replacing my other rechargeables with these. These batteries hold their charge much longer."
• "I am one of the few people who still owns landline phone headsets. I bought this pack to replace all of the factory installed rechargeable AAA batteries that could no longer hold a charge."
• "I've used this brand for years and have no complain. You shouldn't expect a long life from this kind of batteries due to the technology used (NiMH in general have higher self-discharging rate, lower output and bigger capacity). But I must say that the first pair of AAA batteries are still working after 3 years."

Cons:

• "My flashlight tends to lose intensity very quickly with these batteries."
• "These batteries drain super fast and now 8 months out, they will show up green on the charger after 2 minutes of charging and then have no power in them."
• "I bought the AAA and AA of these batteries, but they do not hold a charge. The charger shows they are fully charged (solid green light). But when I use them in simple items such as a digital thermometer, they are drained overnight."
• "Would have really liked them to replace all the battery trash we produce, but they hold their charge poorly. If charged and then left in drawer for like a month, they are already empty again."
• "They claim to be rechargeable up to 1200 times, and I didn’t even get close to half of that. Now the batteries won’t charge at all."
• "We use these in our ozark tac lights when we take our dogs out at night, and they only last for a single use. We have to recharge them every day."
• "I have only had these 7 days, bought the 24 pack and bought 8 more due tomorrow, Wish I hadn't have ordered more. I have had to charge these 4 times already. 3 out of 24 won't charge and 4 won't even hold a charge."
• "So far over half don’t work. I won’t order these again!!! Brand new out of package put in our remote and didn’t work, switched and put in our ELB brand ones and it worked fine."

Customer Service Experience

Pros:

• "Product was AAA rechargeable batteries. 3 of them would not charge. Their customer service group did an admirable job of working for a solution."
• "UPDATE: I received a message from this seller after making this review... The seller is serious about their reputation and they do stand behind the quality of their product 100 percent because shortly thereafter, I received a full refund for the purchase of their batteries."
• "I had an issue with some of the batteries not lasting the whole warranty period before no longer accepting a charge, but the warranty support was a nice surprise."
• "Compaired to Eneloop batteries these are disappointing... Update: because I was unhappy with this product, company offered me a refund. Excellent customer service."
• "I purchased the Powerowl USB 8 AA charger, and I love it. One of the other bonuses of purchasing the unit is their customer service."
• "I have purchased both AA and AAA batteries along with an 8 bay charger. The batteries have worked well in all the devices I have used them in... but the warranty support was a nice surprise."
• "***UPDATE***Company saw my initial review and reached out to me. Gave me a new set of batteries to replace the defective ones."
• "2nd edit; A new package arrived the next day. Tracking info was sent and communication with the seller was stellar."

Cons:

• "I had high hope for these batteries based on their advertised mAh rating of 1000 mAh... Simply stated, DO NOT BUY these batteries."
• "I am livid. Let me know if I did something wrong because if not these are trash."
• "These things are worthless, don't waste your money."
• "Batteries don't even last a week. I've charged and recharged them several times over the two months I've had them."
• "I normally use Enelope (panasonic) rechargeables but decided to try these. It's frustrating because even when fully charged they don't work in all electronics."
• "I fully charged them and placed batteries in my LED push lights I have over the bar. The very first time I went to use them, (2 weeks later after being fully charged) the batteries were dead."
• "These batteries are horrible. I FULLY CHARGE them (my charger says they are fully charged), yet they won't work in any devices."
• "We bought this to go in our go bag for storm season and love them. Out of the book the AA took about 5-6 hours to charge and the AAA took about 2-3 to charge. We bought their charging device to use too and enjoy the versatility of their device too."
