Anybody used these? I've been seeing Rayovac AA rechargeables for pretty low prices compared to fancier-branded NiMh. Currently 4 for $4 shipped from Adorama http://www.adorama.com/BYRAA404.html. The low price and the fact that several minutes of googling turned up no real info on this particular type of cell make me skeptical. Rayovac website has 3 different product lines of NiMh but no mention of Lithium nor any products with packaging that looks like these. I'm thinking maybe an ill-fated product line now relegated mostly to eBay and Amazon Marketplace sellers?
Edit: looks like they are not Lithium. Package says "like" Lithium with the "like' in small print.
From a Fat Wallet post:
"I have a 4-pack of these Rayovac 4.0 batteries in my hand.
These are NOT Lithium.
They state on the box "Ready to use LIKE Lithium"
Also on the box "Works in all chargers"
They are 1.2V NiMH, capacity not stated anywhere on the pack or the batteries.
They are pre-charged like the eneloops and say that they retain 80% of capacity after 6-months."
