> DOES THE JOB
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
MY EXPERIENCE I use AAAs mostly for my MP3 players. 4GB USB 2.0 Mp3 Music Player with Fm Radio Function Voice Recorder Red. My wife began complaining that our rechargeables (several brands, most more than 5 years old) didn't seem to be delivering as much playing times they used to. So I purchased 4 Amazon NiMH rechargeables---which are said to be repackaged Sony Eneloops, which are generally acknowledged to be the best consumer NiMHs available. CAPACITY Honestly, I have not noticed any difference in how long the new Amazon NiMH batteries lasted compared to my old NiMH batteries. That means that there COULD have been a difference of up to ~20%. But then, I have a better charger than most users---see below. HOLDING CHARGE In actual practice (not charts of test results) most rechargeable loose about 1/2% of their charge per day, or more, so fully charged batteries are nearly empty after 3 months, or less, even if unused. The great (hypothetical) advantage of these Amazon batteries (Eneloops, and other advanced NiMH batteries] is that (theoretically) they hold their charge for years (when stored in optimal conditions), making them practical (but generally not cost-effective) in light-demand applications such as wall clocks or TV remote controls. In actual practice, even these batteries loose their charge much quicker when actually installed in equipment, depending on the type of equipment. My MP3 player is so "leaky" that fresh batteries are dead in about 3 weeks, even if the player isn't used---in which case Amazon/Eneloops wouldn't make any difference. CONCLUSION While I doubt that these batteries live up to their hype in actual use, I have no doubt that they are the best choice among AA/AAA consumer rechargeable batteries. PACKAGING The packaging is a nice 3" X 5" X 1" cardboard box, the batteries in the box are shrink-wrapped together. Honestly, I would have preferred a small cardboard box the size of 4 batteries which could be used for storage, particularly when traveling, since I only use one battery at a time. RECHARGING I strongly recommend Sony BCG34HRE4KN Cycle Energy Quick with Refresh Charger and 4 Pre-Charged 2000 mAh AA Batteries (Discontinued by Manufacturer). Yes, the Sony costs 2-3X as much as an average dumb charger, and has been discontinued, but is still available, and apparently Sony has no replacement model. Actually, at $33, the Sony is probably the cheapest truly smart charger you can buy. Minus $8-$10 for the included batteries, the Sony charger is, in effect, $20-$25. The next cheapest smart charger I know of is $45 without any batteries. Caution, cheaper Sony chargers which look almost identical are NOT smart. Most chargers are dumb and just charge a preset amount of time--usually 8 hours. They either undercharge or overcharge your batteries. (That is, they overcharge partially charged or low capacity batteries, and undercharge empty high capacity batteries). Overcharging damages batteries. Undercharging causes permanent loss of capacity. You also have to charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time---you can't charge 1 or 3, nor mix AAAs and AAs (except in pairs). The Amazon Basics charger is a nice little charger international travel, but IS NOT SMART. The SONY CYCLE CHARGER monitors your batteries as it charges. If a battery only needs to be topped off--the charger ONLY tops it off, often in just a few minutes. If your batteries need a full charge, they get it, regardless of their capacity, AND as fast as your batteries can accept the charge--usually just a few hours. You can charge ANY number of batteries at a time, including just one, and ANY combination of AAAs and AAs. If a battery dies on you while the SONY is in already in use--no problem, just insert the battery in a free slot and it will be properly charged. The SONY has a "refresh" function which (optionally) fully drains the batteries before recharging---which typically restores lost capacity. Using the "refresh and charge" cycle several times, I've resurrected a half-dozen nearly"dead" NiMHs (which I had just thrown in a drawer). I believe that this charger is why my 5-year old batteries have the same (or nearly the same) capacity as the new Amazon NiMH batteries. HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A CHARGER IS SMART OR NOT If it cost less than $20 (not including any batteries), it is NOT a smart charger. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question. ... show more

Works at a cheaper price than brand name.
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
I've had these for a year, and decided to hold off on writing a review. First, let me say I only use these batteries in remote controls and thermostats so there is no "heavy" application. They work as intended, and they have recharged many times and still work. For the price, it's much cheaper than the brand name and work just as well. I can't complain, and I have yet to have a battery go bad. If I need new rechargeable batteries I'll definitely re-purchase these again. ... show more

They perform very similarly to first generation Eneloops
Size: 16 Count (Pack of 1)
They meet their capacity ratings. The self discharge rates are very similar to first generation eneloops in my experience. They'll hold their charge for a few years if you need to throw them in a drawer, though don't expect them to last a decade like the modern eneloops do. I've bought a few different batches of these over the years. Have never had a single cell ever go bad. If charged properly, these things will last. They're pretty much forever batteries if you take care of them. ... show more

As always, affordable rechargeable batteries for everyday use
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
TL;DR: Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries offer good value, especially if you catch them on sale. They're not the highest capacity or longest-lasting in terms of charging cycles, but they are far better than non-rechargeable batteries for both the environment and your wallet. Just keep in mind a reliable charger is essential to getting the most out of them. PROS: 🥳 Great value, especially on sale. 🥳 Less waste compared to disposables. 🥳 Ideal for low-drain gadgets. CONS: 😩 Capacity is on the lower side 😩 Don't hold charge as well as premium options. 😩 Performance can decline sooner than expected. DETAILED REVIEW: VALUE: For the price, these are hard to beat. If you catch them on one of Amazon's several sales, they're a great deal for rechargeable batteries. Not top-tier performance, but still a solid choice. PERFORMANCE: They're decent for everyday gadgets, but not as durable or long-lasting as more expensive brands. They're not the best at holding charge over time, and you might find they start to lose their capacity a bit quicker than more expensive options. In fact, I've had some go a little funky before reaching their supposed 1,000 recharge cycles. But for everyday use, they get the job done. You'll get decent use out of them, but don't expect them to last too long without some decline. PRE-CHARGED ISSUE: They come "pre-charged," but the charge is often low. Always recharge them before first use to get the best performance. LONG-TERM VALUE: Definitely better than disposables, even with the cons; especially in terms of cost and environmental impact. I've had an issue recently with a non-rechargeable Duracell battery that was way before it's expiration date leaking in and damaging an expensive microphone after just 1 or 2 months in there... But I’ve never had a rechargeable one do that. For me, that’s a major win. ** EDIT: Just a low-drain device warning and fix. One thing I recently discovered is if you use these in very low-drain devices (like, in my case, a kitchen timer), it's possible to over-discharge them without realizing it. In my case, the LCD numbers became faint and the alarm got very quiet long before the timer completely stopped working, so the batteries still had juice when I took them out. However, the battery voltage had already dropped below the minimum voltage that certain smart chargers require to detect the battery, which was the case with the only charger I currently have. If that happens, the charger acts like the battery is dead and doesn't even acknowledge you put in a battery. If this happens, don’t panic, you can revive it by briefly connecting the depleted battery in parallel with a charged rechargeable AAA battery using two wires: positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative. Hold the connection for about 15–30 seconds. This can raise the voltage enough for the charger to recognize and charge the battery normally again. DISCLAIMER: I’m not recommending this as an officially approved method, just sharing what worked for me. Reviving an over-discharged rechargeable battery this way should be done carefully and at your own risk. Make absolutely sure you connect positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative, avoid short circuits, and stop immediately if the battery becomes hot, swollen, or damaged. If you're not comfortable doing this, don't! ** ... show more

No, those are NOT rebranded first-gen Sanyo eneloop cells
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
Review Image by NLee the Engineer
I have previously tested the original AmazonBasics NiMH Precharged Rechargeable Batteries (in black wrappers) back in 2011. Recently I purchased a set of those new AmazonBasics NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (in white wrappers), because people kept asking me: "Are those rebranded 1st-gen Sanyo eneloop batteries?" Based on my observations so far, the short answer is "NO". But wait, don't leave yet! I measured the capacities of those AmazonBasics AAA batteries, using my La Crosse BC1000 charger. Here are my findings: - Right out of the package, the average remaining charge is 562mAh, or 70% of the rated '800mAh' capacity. - After one recharge/discharge cycle, the average capacity jumped to 797mAh. - After another 2-3 more cycles, the average capacity leveled off at 821mAh The above behavior is consistent with my previous test results for original (1000-cycle) eneloop, 2nd-gen (1500-cycle) eneloop and 3rd-gen (1800-cycle) eneloop cells. Note that just as in this case with AmazonBasics cells, all eneloop cells are charged to around 70% when they left factory. Based on electrical characteristics, I believe that those white AmazonBasics cells are indeed rebranded Sanyo eneloop cells. But it is impossible to tell whether they are in fact 1st- or 2nd-generation eneloop. This is because to the end-user, there are no measureable performance differences between 1st, 2nd or even 3rd-generation eneloop cells beside their cycle life claims. Because of the '1000-cycle' claim, most people would jump to the conclusion that white AmazonBasics cells are equivalent to 1st-gen Sanyo eneloop. My closer examination, however, suggested that they are more likely to be rebranded SECOND-generation eneloop instead. Please refer to the picture I uploaded to 'Customer Images' section. Look closely at the positive terminals of those three types of batteries, and you'll notice the difference in their so-called 'vent holes' (the name is misleading because those openings are not actually used for venting): In the case of AAA cells: - First-gen eneloop AAA cell has triangular-shaped vent holes - Second-gen eneloop AAA has vent holes with rounded tops - White AmazonBasics AAA has vent holes with rounded tops In the case of AA cells: - First-gen eneloop AA cell has triangular-shaped vent holes - Second-gen eneloop AA has no vent holes - White AmazonBasics AA has no vent holes Therefore based on their mechanical aspects, I have to say those white AmazonBasics cells are most likely rebranded 2nd-gen Sanyo eneloop cells. Why would Amazon intentionally sell rebranded 1500-cycle eneloop cells as just 1000-cycle? The answer is Price Differentiation. Manufacturers often de-spec a product when it is sold under different brand at a lower price. Otherwise it will erode the market for their higher-priced brand. What if I'm wrong and those AmazonBasics cells are 'only' 1000 cycles? Well, you could find out the difference in... TEN years. So for now, just pick whichever brand is on sale and be happy. ... show more
