Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A decade ago, a 1400 mAh discharge capacity NiMH rechargeable battery would have been marginally acceptable. For today's digital cameras and the current state of NiMH battery technology, this RayOVac product is inexcusable.
You notice that neither the package or the battery indicates the discharge capacity. Here's why: the specs on this product are so inferior that nobody would buy it for digital camera use if they knew the truth.
My information about discharge capacity for this product comes for RayOVac's own specification sheet, available at their website.

For less demanding devices like some GPS receivers, portable scanners, flashlights, etc., these batteris might be fine. But the package shows a digital camera and leads customer to believe that they are appropriate for a digital camera.
I give the product one star partly for being substandard as far as discharge capacity and partly for the deception that RayOVac uses in order to trick people into buying this product.
Here's the lesson for you: unless you know for certain what you're buying, don't buy it. If the manufacturer or salesperson can't provide the information you need, walk away.
Historically, RayOVac dry cells were very good in their day. I'm very disappointed in the way RayOVac has "modernized" the company with Chinese product outsourcing and deceptive marketing practices.
