How long do they stay charged? Have they been working for awhile? Should I just get the EN-EL14a instead or can I trust these batteries to be good?

They are good! They stay charged a fair amount of time and there is two of them, so I always have one fully charged all the time. You can't beat this deal, it even come with a charger for your car, boat or camper.

I have only had to rely on this item, once, as a back up while my original battery was charging. So I'm afraid I can't provide you with an answer to your question.

one of mine stays charged after charging and before use for about 3 weeks before depletion but the other one loses 50% of charge in same time frame. The battery when fully charged remains charged for a very heavy weekend of photography. The Nikon battery lasts for weeks. I bought a backup Nikon battery just in case while out in the middle of nowhere, I'm guaranteed a charge.

They lasted a long time, I have bought over 120 packets all at one time and had them over 3 months and still working just fine. If you keep them in the refrigerator, they too last longer and this I do a lot. I never had any bad experiences with having so many batteries and worrying about their expiration since I too use the rechargeable battery provided with the implant.

These are DX2400 and have an 800mAh rating. I started stocking up on these and the DX1500/2000mAh AA batteries 3-4 years ago and now have everything I own using these batteries. They hold their charge in storage and work great in every devise. I see what the Drill Guy answered and that is not what I got and those are not "Stay Charged" batteries. It is getting harder and harder to tell which is newer and older but the packaging in this add says they are Stay Charged and my packaging looked exactly as in the ad. Mine came from "movinonup" delivered by Amazon.

I have 2. They do not work. I would never buy these again. Do you think that this is an endorsement of these batteries?

Well, I purchased mine about 6 months ago and they are good until June 2021 which means they are guaranteed for 9 years. Hope that helps! Also, I would recommend buying from Amazon rather than a local store because you will get fresher batteries (higher turnover rate).

I charged them initially for about three hours. One of the batteries seems to take a charge overnight, but the other is pretty bad. I love the unit when it is working, but all too often, the battery goes dead without any warning. I've tried to get replacement batteries (thinking I may have a bad one), but can't find them anywhere. This is totally unacceptable! If anyone knows where to get replacements, please let me know.

They're very decent for the price. I would say that when fully charged, they seem to last about as long as Canon brand batteries. The only issue is that after a few days of sitting around, the charge seems to go away. So just make sure you keep them charged up. (I'd say try to charge them the day you need them, and they should work well for you.)

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

Actually that's a really good question. The answer is yes they do hold a charge for a long time. I've been able to get a couple of days out of my batteries.

it has lasted a good 16 hours on one charge but i think if you charge them fully they may last a little longer. hope this helps. another thing the price is right?

I bought these same batteries in May 2012. I recently ordered these again. (different supplier) I did not have any complaints or would not buy them again. Any brand battery can have a bad cell in the pack. I also like Renata brand. (not sure I spelled that correctly) Another choice would be Energizer. These 3 brands seem reliable over the years.

hi, always rinse them off with water immediately when done swimming and never let the battery go below a 1/4 charge. Even when storing and not using for a while, you will want to make sure to keep the battery charged. Also, they don't last for ever and if you have a local battery dealer, they can make a custom battery for you that will last longer then the factory. This is just my experience with the unit. I hope you find it useful. Tim

They are what they say, they last just as long as average battery but cheaper and with a long shelf life. Mine which I got last yr have a shelf life till 2015. I bought several.

Mine are lasting for over 1.5h and they outrun oem GoPro batteries by just few minutes. The real test comes after several charges but I don't have any complains so far. Good luck with your shooting;)

We have ordered those batteries several times and have had no problems. They seem to last 8-10 days.

I bought them a couple of months ago. I don't see a date anywhere on them but there is a stamped number of "43" on the battery. All the batteries were fully charged and I did not have any defective ones. I have bought the same batteries before from these people with no regrets.
