Difference between 2000 mAh and 2500 mAh? Would using the eneloop battery (maximum 2000 mAh diminish the performance of a product which some say should be powered by 2500 mAh batteries?

Your S3 will perform just fine with the 2000mAh eneloop cells. There is really no performance gain by going to old-generation 2500-2700mAh cells. Using larger capacity batteries is like installing a larger gas tank on your car. It allows your car to run longer between refueling. But it does not make your car run any faster. If you always charge up the NiMH cells just before use, then larger battery capacity means you can take more pictures before recharging. But if you leave the cells in your camera for a few weeks, those 2500mAh may become exhausted, whereas the eneloop cells are still 95% full. This is like having a larger gas tank for your car, but the gas is constantly leaking even when the car is not in use. So the tank may be empty in a matter of weeks. You will do better with a smaller gas tank that doesn't leak. For all my photo equipment, I'll pick a set of dependable 2000mAh low-self-discharge cells over a set of unreliable 2500mAh cells, any day.

Yes! mAh is Milli-Amp hours.A battery rated for more mAh will power a phone for a longer amount of time, given the same usage pattern.

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

We are lucky if the rechargeable batteries last 3 hours...so very annoying. I started doing a little research and found that these rechargeable batteries are the best on the market : eneloop AA 1800 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack (discontinued by manufacturer) Anyone have any experience with them?! They have really good reviews. I'm wondering if I do get them if I should get a better battery charger, if it really matters at all?!

The difference is the mAh which means the amount of charge the battery will hold. The higer the mAh the longer the battery will emit power between charges. It will work.

Either will work fine. I leave mine on 500 since I'm usually not in a hurry for my batteries. Add a guideline you generally charge lithium ion batteries at one half capacity per hour, unless otherwise specified by the battery manufacturer.

I noticed a very slight difference, but it could have been a placebo affect of taking out the shiny Energizer Lithium battery and putting in white eneloop rechargeable. I'd have to do more research, I thought a one-time use Lithium just lasted longer than NiMH.

I have to admit that I bought the batteries for a tool for size. Forgot to check capacity but it looks like at least 1800 mah. Things have happened which has kept me from using the batteries. Sorry can't be more help. Price is right though

It will work. Single Lithium cells provide the same nominal voltage, which is between 3.3-4.2V. They're interchangeable in this regard. the milliamp-hours rating is capacity, so 2000 mAH is 2/3rds the capacity of 3000 mAH. It will work, but you may get less runtime - I say "may" because the mAH ratings of both OEMs and aftermarket batteries are notoriously inaccurate. You may be looking at 2 batteries with the same useful capacity. In all likelihood, the charger cuts out at a specific voltage (that's how li-ion chargers know when the battery is full), and the battery's capacity won't matter. The only reason it may is that to charge a larger cell, you may wish to provide higher current to speed it up. This presumably will take longer (50% or so) to charge a true 3000 mAH battery than a 2000 mAH. If the battery is fully discharged, the charger could be damaged by attempting to charge too large a battery due to the initial current draw, but I think that's likely not a concern here.

Thank you for the info. A few days ago, I got the 'Eneloops' anyway. Maybe my stock Panasonic batteries had run their useful life course, because the Eneloops work very well and last much longer than the Panasonics. Plus the 7 hour audio and text recharge message does pop up when they run low (someone had suggested that the phone just 'dies', with no message). In any case, I can always use the Eneloops until I am not satisfied with their performance. They only cost me like ten bucks for 4.

I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in mine and swap out with a spare set every month or so to stay ahead of dead batts. It's nice that they run it on 2 AAs - I'm currently using a pair of 550s that use 4 AAA each.

Voltage is the same.. mAh rating is overstated. It doesn't last as long a genuine battery but for the price I suppose I will live with it. Probably 20% less run time. Also energy retention isn't as long.

no comparison, Duracell is clearly the better battery. maxell batteries just don't have the same output or last as long as Duracell.

I would think they can be charged together. The mAh value simply is an indication of the length of time the battery will operate. It has nothing to do with out put current or voltage. The 2300 may take a bit longer to charge than the 2000, but I cannot say for sure that would be the case. I would put the 2000's together and the 2300's together. Don't put one size next to the other size.

You can not say the battery is 2000mAh and then in the description state it is only 1500mAh. In this case you must assume that it is not a 2000mAh battery, but instead only 1500mAh. Very poor advertising and buyer beware.......if you only read the title you may assume you are ordering a higher capacity battery than is described in the detailed description. Maybe it is a mistake on the part of the seller (giving them the benefit of the doubt), but either way I would call them and ask them what you are really getting.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

I would think its 2000 mah for each battery giving you 4000 mah total. The way the batteries are placed in the grip is set up so that only one set of contacts are in touch with the camera (I believe this way is called parallel) instead of in series so that the voltage is not changed. Think of it like a diesel engine that runs two batteries at 12 volts!
