Is it normal for these to charge to 1.45 Volts and 2250-2300 Mah? Using a lacrosse BC-700..

it is normal. all charge will charge above 1.2V (NiMH rated) for a while.. and that 1.45V will drop back to 1.2~1.25 quickly after you use for 10min.

I believe they are rated for 500 charges. They are excellent batteries for my Fenix Flashlights.

yes it will charge them with a 1amp power source, also even with a low power USB port, My computer only puts out about .9 amps and it charges 4 2000 mAh AA NI-MH batteries just fine

HI,The original batteries only state they are 9.6V, no Ah stated. The replacements say they are 9.6V and 1.3Ah. I just checked on a replacement battery that has been in a tool for at least 6 months and it still very well charged. This pair of batteries is as good or better that the originals.

I think that it's the output from the battery rather than the chemistry. I used li-MH rechargables, with an output right at 1.3v. You might be ok at 1.4, but you're right on the edge at that point. Also, pay attention to the color change rate. One of the RGB leds being offered is a nice slow rate, and the other FLASHES

They're marked at 3.7 V.... Mine were actually ranging from 4.7 to 5.2V. Not safe!!!

I owed two for back up and they hold a better charges than the one that come with my drill. GREAT PRICE. Mind don't have the XR on them and they work great. Don't worry about them. You'll be very happywith them MR.WILSON. DANNY CUTLER

Yes, they are not charged as received. Mine were all setting around 1.2 volts which is almost fully discharged.

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out.Jamie.

I have two 12V22AH batteries wired in series producing 24 volts. It all depends what your using the batteries for. I charge mine on a 2 Amp.24 Volts charger. It may take more but certainly not the charge your suggesting. Be careful. You may explode the batteries or ruin them. How are you wiring them? Series or parallel?

John, I bought these batteries and they plugged and played. I had been using the original batteries which held a charge for a very short time. These fit my drill and I use the same charger that I originally received with the drill.

I charge them all the time. I'm sure it may take longer than lower output batteries but I have not measured the difference.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

Hi Kat, Yes these batteries are 1.2v (the standard voltage), and are rated at a capacity of 2ah 'typical', and 1.9ah "minimum" . I am quoting these specs directly from the label on the batteries themselves. Hope this helps. greentyco.

I have the same issues! I have had great success with the 750ma (green) batteries, so I ordered some of these 900ma (blue) batteries hoping for longer life. Instead I got varying voltages, higher than 3.0V that the flashlight did not like, plus, they are slightly bulkier and get stuck in the flashlight. They should be built to the same standard, but they are Not!

I'm in North America. Make sure that the positive side of the batteries are put into the position in the charger where the positive polarities are. Make sure that the negative sides are where the negative side of the charger is. There should be a latch on the negative side pushing them forward to charge. I put these batteries into a high power LED flashlight. They are outstandingly powerful. Good luck.
