Editorial Reviews:
The DPS-3000 will appeal to everyone who uses AA batteries-especially users of high-drain products like digital cameras, two way radios, CD and cassette players, remote control toys, hand held games and many more electronic devices. It includes trays for charging AAA batteries - Two Quick Chargers in one which makes the DPS-3000 adaptable to many more electronic items.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: rechargeable batteriesComment: I purchased these to use in a digital camera. Great battery life, no problems thus far.Customer Rating: Summary: TWO DEAD BATTERIESComment: TWO OF FOUR BATTERIES WERE DEAD AT FIRST ATTEMOT TO CHARGE THEM. "One Year Warranty" requires $5 co-pay plus SHIPPING which makes the WARRANTY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE TWO WORTHLESS BATTERIESCustomer Rating: Summary: Rechargeable Battery Kit w/4 batteriesComment: I like this item as it does charge the batteries quickly and can be carried in the car for a quick charge when traveling.Customer Rating: Summary: Please READ THIS REVIEW before you return product to Amazon!Comment: I too shared many of the apparent problems with this charger/battery combo! I was about to return both sets I purchased; however, was able to resurrect the product and it works GREAT! The batteries now work super in my digital camera, cordless mouse, cordless keyboard, and even flashlights.
What I did:
1. I fully discharged the batteries in a flashlight - left it on overnight.
2. I fully charged the batteries in the charger overnight (ignore the steady green light indicating a full charge).
3. I repeated steps 1 and 2.
The batteries now operate great. They hold a charge and operate items I only operated previously with DuraCell Alkalines. The green fully-charged indicator on the charging unit also appears to be operating correctly now.
Other problems noted such as overheating and unit not staying plugged in have not been an issue for me. The unit is secure in a wall socket, the batteries are secure in the unit, and the operating temperature (even after 12 hrs) is just a little above room temp.
I hope this review may save you some grief and a potential needless return of the product!Customer Rating: Summary: I wish I would have listened to the reviewsComment: I wish I would have listened to the other reviews. I have had the exact same experience as all the other negative reviews. Charged the batteries, put them in my Kodak Zx1 and they lasted just a few seconds. Tried another pair, out of the four and same thing, lasted a few seconds. Popped in some regular old alkaline batteries, and lo and behold, they worked.
It really surprises me that Amazon continues to sell this product. This is JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, just like all the reviews say. Don't waste your money and time. I took a chance to save a buck, and got burned. Don't do the same. Too bad I have to even give this product one star.
