The VARTA Ready2Use rechargeables are a new generation of batteries that come precharged and can be used right away. Ordinary rechargeables get discharged during storage and lose much of their capacity. With VARTA Ready2Use rechargeables you won’t have much of a capacity problem. Once charged these new batteries still retain 80% of their capacity after one year of storage. Please note: VARTA Ready2Use rechargeables do not require a special charger and can be used for all applications: whether it be wall clock or high drain devices such as digital cameras – Ready2Use is always a reliable solution.
