 NOT another new wrapper for the same old Rayovac Hybrid (but I wish it were) Jun 09, 2010
By NLee the Engineer
When I first saw the product description of Rayovac Platinum LSD NiMH AA, my immediate reaction was: "Oh no! Not ANOTHER new wrapper for the same old Rayovac Hybrid!". After all, that's exactly what Rayovac did last year for the so-called Rayovac 4.0 cells. But after examining this package more carefully, it turns out to be not the case.
First encouraging sign: unlike the case with 'Rayovac 4.0' cells, those 'Platinum' LSD cells actually have their capacity number printed on each cell (2100mAh for AA, 800mAh for AAA).
I measured those Rayovac Platinum AA cells upon arrival using my La Crosse BC-900, and they contain about 87% of their rated capacity. After two discharge/recharge cycles, their average capacity reached 2095mAh. This performance is very consistent with that of the old Rayovac Hybrid AA cells. However, by comparing the shapes of their (+) and (-) terminals, I can tell that the 'Platinum' cells are indeed different from 'Rayovac Hybrid' and 'Rayovac 4.0' cells. (Check out my Customer Image and judge for yourself)
Rayovac claims that the Platinum's charge retention rate is same as previous generation Rayovac LSD cells: 80% after 6 months, 60% after 12 months. In contrast, Sanyo claims the eneloop can retain 85% charge after 12 months. My own testing has shown that this claim is accurate.
One disturbing sign is that: Rayovac states that the lifespan of new Platinum cell is only '275 cycles', while previously it was '500 cycles' for the old Rayovac Hybrid.
In summary, the new Rayovac 'Platinum' LSD cell is not any better than the old 'Hybrid', yet it may suffer from shorter lifespan. As of this moment, it is being sold at a much higher price than Rayovac Hybrid and Sanyo eneloop, so it is just not a good value.
[Update on Oct 16, 2010]
Long-term self-discharge test: after 3 months sitting on the shelf, a pair of Rayovac Platinum AA cells retained 83% of original capacity. This is slightly worse than the rate for old Rayovac Hybrid, whcih typically can retain 85% after 5 months.
[Update on April 26, 2012]
I re-tested some Rayovac Hybrid and 4.0 cells recently, and was shocked to find out that their capacities have all deteriorated badly. In particular, four Rayovac 4.0 AA cell (circa 2009) have dropped from 2100mAh to below 800mAh. Even after more than one dozen Discharge/Refresh cycles on my BC-900, their capacities only recovered to 1100-1500mAh. Therefore I can no longer recommend Rayovac rechargeable batteries.

 Great Performance in my Canon SX20 IS A+ Jun 06, 2010
By Stuntman Mike
"Mike"
These are great batteries for your digital camera!
I picked up a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch Articulating LCD at a big box store close to my house recently.
Got it home and I played with the 560mm zoom, and took a ton of pictures and videos. Did a ton of messing around with the settings, and testing different apertures, etc. I had been wanting to play with this camera for a while, so no telling how many times I focused in on subjects while just looking around.
All of this with the same set of these 4 AA batteries with the charge they held out of the package. They are most definitely pre-charged.
After a day, I figured the batteries were probably toast, and threw them in my Energizer 8 Hour Smart charger (also new product at big box store).
They showed 3 hours remaining initially, then were fully charged within 1 hour or so.
The pictures above are accurate.
These are 2100mAh LSD batteries. Perfect (or really good) for Digital Cameras like the SX20 IS.

Platinum Batteries Apr 20, 2011
By Fishrman
This is a great product. These batteries have long-life and a quick recharge. Make sure to look for the charger that fits a USB port. This is a nice compliment to this product.

As far as I'm concerned the best rechargeables for your money! Apr 12, 2011
By M. & S. N.
"Bargain Shopper"
I absolutely love the Rayovac made rechargeables.
Why?
It's not necessarily because they have the highest power output or last the longest...it is because they absolutely seem to have the most output and lasting charge of anything this cheap. You simply can't beat the cost versus quality here.
These batteries seem to outlast my energizers on a regular basis and I've decided to only purchase the Rayovacs from now on.
Highly recommend these to anyone and everyone in need of good, long lasting, and reliable AAs.
