brands vary a lot. high capacity ones have a very high self discharge rate and need to be topped off as close to actual use time as practical. that means unless you charge up the night before, or even closer to when you need them, you have quite a bit less capacity than stated. i also strongly recommend a charger that monitors each cell as it charges. it will have one status LED for each cell. you'll get more useful capacity and longer useful life this way.
