Monster Rechargeable Batteries By cukal6 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We bought these batteries 5 years to go in my digital camera. They have lasted me 5 years! It's just now starting to get to the point where I have to recharge them about once a week. When we first purchased them, I could go months without a charge. Of course, I am using my camera for a lot more videos and I assume that eats up more battery.

It only takes about 4 or 5 hours to charge these batteries. I usually plug them in before I got to bed and they're ready to go in the morning. If I'm only charging 2 at a time, it only takes a couple of hours.

I will probably be getting ready to purchase new batteries in the near future and they will definitely be the Monster brand.

I have never even heard of this brand, but if they hold up in cameras they have to be good.

We use rechargable batteries with our digital camera too. Good to know theres a potential for them to last 5 years! Wow.

Yes you are correct that taking the videos uses the batteries faster. I love my rechargeable batteries! I do the same as you. Plug it in before I go to bed and in the morning they are completely charged. Of course it doesn't take all that time but it's most convenient for me to do it that way!

I did not have these, and used like three brands before I gave up, and it outdated itself. :)

Sounds like you got some really good rechargable batteries. 5 years is pretty good!
