Keep charging [Posted on 2005-05-25] THE battery is good after a full charge. It lacks in holding the promised charge. I find after 2 weeks it is questionable, depending on how many pictures were taken before the camera sat waiting to be used again. I got over 100 pictures when used in 3 days, Which is more that my AA nimh 2100mah. Which I bought from Walmart {so probably not a super battery} The wallmart batteries actually hold the charge longer {very sad}.The charge time is not to long when charger from half charge.
Over all, I hope the next ones I buy will be better than these. My solution is to carry a non rechargeable battery in my case for when the Delkin dies. I also try to give it a full charge before leaving the house, as there is no memory effect. I also recomend checking to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your camera. Every camera shuts off when the battery is at a different power level. My Nikon coolpix 3100, seems to shut down sooner than later. All reviews should mention what camera they are using for this reason. Have been using 3 months now.
Short life - check the data sheet [Posted on 2006-10-29] The data sheet on this battery indicates 1200 mAh. It's lithium, so it holds up better than NimH, but there are lithium rechargables available that offer higher mAh.
For the price it isn't bad, though.
Worse than AA batteries. Suddenly dies. [Posted on 2006-12-27] Tried this as a possible improvement over using AA NiHM batteries in my Olympus D-524 camera. Turned out to be a DOWNGRADE. Did not stay charged as long as my Panasonic 1950 mAh AA batts. It would die a sudden death -- no low battery warnings before the camera shut down. I have gone back to the dependability and predictability of the AA NiHM batts. The CR-V3 now gathers dust. It did not even improve the flash recycle time. Just a waste.
At last! [Posted on 2007-04-08] Solved all my rechargeable batteries problems with my Olympus SP-350 Camera... Best choice I've ever made regarding this issue.
works great [Posted on 2008-04-02] Though lightweight and deceivingly useful, it does the job of providing more power than batteries for the pentax camera I use. I have two, so I never run low on power. I re-charge them before going on a vacation so they will be ready when I am.
