"No, NiMH rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended for use in Blink cameras. Blink officially advises against using them because standard NiMH batteries output 1.2V, whereas the cameras require 1.5V to function correctly. "

These are 300mAh batteries. You can see reviewer have tested them. Why post these fake deals? SD needs to remove this garbage.
That's because the reviewer has no clue what he's talking about. That's the total capacity delivered in mAh during the charge, not the total mAh capacity of the battery. You'll see a few posts on SD of people claiming the same thing about Amazon's rechargeable batteries too, and other Amazon reviewers on other rechargeable batteries. There's even a few battery charger posts (NiteCore?) of SDers claiming the charger killed their batteries and now their batteries only hold 300 - 400 mAh now. And those are for 18650 batteries!

Can you provide proof these do indeed are 2000 mAh? I can only trust visual evidence.
"An intelligent LCD display gives real time feedback for each slot, including battery voltage, charging current, elapsed time, estimated percentage and the total capacity delivered in mAh."
Some battery chargers do a test and can show an estimate of the total capacity. But this would require it to be outside of charging mode and in some type of "test" mode. And most battery chargers only test in 1 slot, usually the first one of the last one. The reviewer's photo is showing he's still in charging mode, and has all 4 slots filled. Their test mode is fully draining the battery and then recharging it and shows you how much mAh was charged back into the battery during it's "test".
