I wouldn't purchase them. The bad outweighs the good. They can be dangerous and virtually impossible to dispose of them safely.

Is it any more dangerous than camera batteries and power tool batteries?
The maximum discharge rate EBL told me is 2A so it won't recycle a flash as fast as NiMH battery. However, there is regulator inside the battery so the voltage is pretty much constant 1.5V regardless of the current draw (must be less than 2A). I think they are good for things where alkalines would leak. It has slower self discharge rate than even Eneloop so for low drain devices it would be good.

I bought a pack of "Deleepow" batteries similar to these. I tried them in a Dremel tool, and right off the batt (pun intended) one failed, internally shorted the protection circuit, and self-discharged with plenty of heat released. It would never charge again. Too fragile for me.
