I would not have thought of this brand. The normal batteries from Varta are great but the batteries are a joke. Have four of these batteries to get a charger. One of them is still in use, the other three are defective and that after the second charging. Am now switched to eneloop batteries that hold at least what they promise. In Ansmann batteries had the same problem as with this VARTA batteries. I can only advise them to buy these batteries. I use this type of battery mainly in outdoor GPS and since the eneloop batteries are simply unbeatable.
