Thanks to ahV for this.
I also thought that going totally flat after 2-3 days was pretty normal. Anyway, I've always looked up to Sanyo as a battery brand. They've had a lot of experience in this field and has a very good track record. I remember the days in the late '80s when they were THE brand when it came to Ni-Cd battery-packs for radio-controlled race cars.
I still have faith in the brand.

nope... based on the info given by the guys..the charger used varies...whether using a dedicated SANYO charger or professional one like MAHA, the discharge problem will kick in for the 2500s. PM me your batch number and I can do an initial check for you
After studying the data given these few days, I oredi know what are the suspected/ affected batches. 2100s and 2300s should be fine...keep using them and let them 'die' a natural death due to the number of expected charge cycles. Do monitor your 2500s ..if they do not give you a reasonable length of usage ..the discharge has surfaced then... I hope that clarifies.
I do experience quick discharge of my 2100s..but I dont really mind since I charge them the night before I shoot..AhV said:nope... based on the info given by the guys..the charger used varies...whether using a dedicated SANYO charger or professional one like MAHA, the discharge problem will kick in for the 2500s.

Yup, my first batch of 2500's were all on Sanyo charger, and they performed badly after a few months. I then bought a Konnoc charger, thinking that my 3-year old charger has started the twilight years. Pleasantly surprised is that the batteries are still behaving the same, and discharge-recharge does nothing different. I then concluded that it must be the batteries, and at that point, AhV has started this post! Timing just nice for me!
Last Saturday was a wedding, again the 2500 performed badly, having charged fully ALL my batteries the day before or the same day, my flash died at about 30 shots! ONLY 30 for the 2500! I was using the SB-80DX.

my F1 batteries stunned me further yesterday afternoon! just charged in the morning for a sunset shoot in the evening, only to find out its LOW BATT after around 10 shots! good thing i charged all 3 sets of 2500(only 1 set is super duper fast). wat blinding speed! they must have slipped on lemon or something... mux have broke the speed barrier... bravo!
my 2100 exhibits the same winning F1 formula. how exciting!!!
cheers!

noted .... how long ve you used them ? are they at the end of their charge cycle ? If not, drop me an email. I will feedback to SANYO accordingly. Keep these 'BAD' 2100s and pass them to me when necessary. If they are confirmed BAD, SANYO will probably replace them
I am sure they are keen to know y your 2100s are suffering from discharge issues too.Well, a point to note is that Ni-MH batts self-discharge if they are not used...of cos, at a reasonable rate lo... cheers!

AhV, i emailed u sometime back.
cheers!!
my 2100s seemed to be old stocks.. sad..
I just came across this thread this morning and will go home to check the batch no. on my Sanyo 2500s which certainly are faulty.
I charged 4, used 2 on my wireless mouse and they lasted a month. I was quite shocked as the disposable ones that came with the mouse lasted 6 months! Then I used the other 2 and these lasted less than a week (I don't even use my PC everyday).
Thanks for your effort in this, AhV.

HI AhV,
Just joined clubsnap cos heard of news about Sanyo batteries....
I bought 4pcs of Sanyo 2500 in March for my Japan trip.
surprised to know that there are so many complaints as i enjoyed using it for the first time cos my fuji S5000 need 4AA and i took about 200+ pictures during my trip n it last me about 1week. didn't really used it after my trip so mayb i shld try using it again one of these days.
Btw, if there is really problem with my batts, can i ctc u?
tks alot.

hihi ...dun be alarmed unnecessarily .... If you have working batches, good for you. We are the early supporters and users of SANYO 2500s. Unfortuntately, we had experienced this quick discharge issue on our batts. As for you, my advice is keep using them on your power hungry digital equipments and drop me an email if sth happens. If nth happens, we are happy for you
My current 2 sets suffer from the rapid discharge bug too. No such problem when I use the 2500s from Konnoc or the 2300s provided by Fujifilm. A side issue is how long should we expect the Sanyo batteries to last. Mine earlier batch of 2500s died after 80-odd charge cycles.
BTW, AhV, I've PMed you previously, as your mailbox rejected my emails.
