Are these NiMH or NiCad? Do they have the Duracell 5 year guarantee?

NiMH Batteries and it does not say 5 year Guarantee on packet but they say they will replace any defect any time!

Yes. I've had Duracell rechargeables for years and never had a defective one.

So am I! The date on the few batteries that I checked was 2020; six years from now. Duracells are guaranteed for 10 years -- when they are fresh. I wonder what the charge is on mine. Mine are going back due to misrepresentation.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. This is a NiCad battery. NiCads are a thing of the past. The best thing that you can do is send your old battery module to a re-cell company and have them re-cell it with nickel metal hydride (NiMh) cells. The NiMh cells hold more energy, last longer and are not as subject to "outgassing" as NiCad cells. (This is probably why your module failed.) Texas Battery and Provisional Battery (in Atlanta) are two that I use. You can Google "battery module recell companies" to find one near you.This is cheaper and easier in the long run...and you get your ORIGINAL battery pack back so you know that it fits.Hope this helps.

Bought quite some time back and no longer have the package but I seem to recall the battery being NiMh.

Can't judge yet. Have used for more than a year, and it's still trucking along. My experience w Li-Ions has been great.As opposed to Ni-Cads, they perform well till they're expended.

As far as I know Dewalt does not make a NiMH battery. If you mean NiCad then the lithium battery will last longer per charge and will hold its charge longer on the shelf. NiCad will get a memory if you do not charge them all the way up and then use them all the way down before recharging, Lithium does not have this problem.

I too had a Hydro Pulse that lasted a year (just past the warranty). I loved the product. It really had saved me from Doctor visits and buying drugs. If I did start to get an infection it would clear up fast. This time I went with a waterpik that has a two year warranty and just purchased the tips. I really could not tell any difference for half the cost.

How do the Duracell Nimh batteries compare to the Energizers? Are they better, safe for the S5 IS?

It seems like the deciding factor is the seller you get the batteries from. Mine came from a seller listed as "Duracell" and I haven't had a single problem. We've used 18 of the batteries so far and they've all powered devices as expected, didn't expire until like 2020, and haven't leaked. (I really hope I haven't jinxed myself!) Oh - and mine didn't have Chinese writing on them. They were all in English.

See my Customer Image for this product page. The Duracell Pre-Charged cell with 'white top' is equivalent to Sanyo eneloop (made in Japan). The one with 'black top' is equivalent to Rayoyac Hybrid (made in China). Most people seem to prefer the 'white top'. But both versions are good in my opinion.Be careful that Duracell also sells ordinary NiMH cells with very similar 'Copper Top' color scheme. Make sure that your cells actually have 'Pre Charged' printed on them. The ordinary NiMH cells are not worth getting, since they all suffer from rapid self-discharge problem.

The Duracell Rechargeable NiMH Batteries have a 2,650 mAh and are Duralock. These Duracell Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries are charged and ready to use right out of the package.

Sorry, there is no date on the batteries. I don't know what the guarantee period is. From experience over the past 10 years or so, the batteries remain useful for 4 or 5 years.

My mother returned hers after 55 days under the 60 day guarantee offered on the infomercial. They refuse to honor their own guarantee and we're still fighting with them. I'd stay away from this product.

These are the pro/contractor packs from my understanding. Basic, bulk, no frills packaging for heavy users. So far they seem to have a life span the same as other Duracells in my experience. I have no idea what you might have received, but the units that I got were fine.Here is a link that describes them.http://professional.duracell.com/en/procellHope this helps.

The Low Self Discharge Batteries are listed as LSD NiMH. In my opinion these pictured here work fine for me since I change batteries on a couple of pest deterrents about every 1 to 2 months. LSD NiMH batteries will keep most of it's charge for a year or 2. If you are planning to keep batteries stored for a year or more I would suggest sticking with the standard Duracell's and Eveready's. They hold their charges way longer. Rechargeable batteries are for toys and devices that frequently need a battery change. Here is a link to a Wiki on the question that you asked. Hope this helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel%E2%80%93metal_hydride_battery

When I purchased them it was over a year out from purchase date. Was very satisfied. I use 4 per day so easy for me to decide. Hope you have as good luck as I did.
