They simply don't last,

I tend to be careful with my rechargeable batteries - I always try to discharge them fully and then charge them up to the top. Especially when they are new.
For Rayovacs, I've found that the first 30-40 recharges are great. Then the amount of time they last on a charge starts to rapidly fall off; falling off faster than a coder a few hours after her last pot of coffee.
While the 9 volts are slightly better than the AAs, slightly is the key word. I've gone through three of these batteries and its disappointing how consistent they are - after about 45-50 charges they are worthless. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for rechargeable 9 volt batteries
