 Camera SaverJan 06, 2006
By Darth Tater
I bought a Samsung camera way back when, and I found it to be highly unreliable. It wouldn't always turn on, and the batteries would die out quickly. I've tried alkaline and NiMH AA battereies (at 2500 mAh, highest I could find), and the results were the same. Then I read somewhere that most digital cameras required consistent voltage to function properly, which only Li-ion batteries could do. You can spend about 10 bucks for a disposable Li-ion battery, or spend 15 dollars more for the Lenmar model which you can use over and over again. The only other brands that I found that manufactured rechargable Li-ion CRV-3's were Samsung and Digipower. They both go for around 45 dollars, and the Digipower model has a lower mAh (1100) compared to the Lenmar.
It's been a week already, and my camera is still going strong on the same charge. Before, it wouldn't even last more than 30 minutes before pooping out on me.
I haven't had any problems using or charging the battery like the other reviewer. I'm sure he just got a defective charger with his order. Anyways, my only complaint is the lack of documentation with the packaging. Not that you really need it to operate the charger. Otherwise, it's a no-brainer purchase.

Works GreatAug 31, 2006
By cjenkins
We've used Lenmar rechargeables in other digicams with great results, so it was a no-brainer to pick up this CRV3 compatible battery for a new Olympus camera. The 1350 mAh battery comes with the charging base and two electric adapters (wall outlet and car's cigarette lighter which is not shown in the picture).
A nice plus by choosing this lithium battery is that is weighs less than a pair of NiMh AA batteries yet it runs cooler so the camera doesn't get too warm. The battery charges in a few hours and lasts quite a while between charges. We were able to shoot several hundred shots over multiple sessions without fully draining the battery.
The only quibble we have with this charger is related to directions found in the one page instruction sheet:
"Once the battery is fully charged, promptly remove the battery from the charger. Note: Do not leave the battery in the charger for prolonged periods after the battery is fully recharged."
This battery can't be left charging overnight; it must be monitored and manually removed when the cycle is complete. Why couldn't Lenmar put auto-shutoff circuitry in the charger when the light turns green just like in their other chargers?

 Works wonderfullyAug 15, 2006
By Stephen Pack
I was very disappointed when the AA batteries my digital camera came with died within a couple days. I've been using this for a year and a half now, and since I switched, I've never gotten so much as a low battery warning, even when I've taken a couple hundred pics between charges.

 Not very universal !! Probably okay if it ftJun 23, 2010
By Seth
"old boz"
I have seen this warning before, but I didn't expect it out of Lenmar. After all, they make batteries for all kinds of uses. A shorter battery would fit everything and could be compressed in with a spacer if too short.
There are many reviews at camera sites where aftermarket Li-Ions are too long and won't let a camera close properly.
I bought this to fit into my GPS. Wrong!! It is probably 1/8-3/16" too long. I am really disappointed. Also, the charging unit does not line up with both the + and - terminals. They use a system where the standard negative terminal lines up with a pin. However, there is a small whole toward the center of the battery where a center pin actually contacts the positive side. The rechargeable Li-Ion for my GPS does not have the center hole, so I cannot even charge it externally. This was a must for travelling since this comes with a 12V vehicle adapter.
That said, it may be done so that some moron does not try to recharge a standard lithium battery instead of a Li-Ion. It woul be a heck of an explosion!!
The problem now is will another brand of Li-Ion work. I.e., will it have the center pin hole and will it be shorter? Nobody shows those specs.
