Key Features

• Improved low self discharge
• Improved high recovery type
• Excellent Over-discharge Performance
• Pre-Charged using Solar Energy
• NOTE: To avoid damage or undesired rapid discharge of the batteries, DO NOT MIX: non-rechargeable with rechargeable batteries; fully-charged with mid- to low-charged batteries; new with old batteries; different mAh capacities; different brands
• Improved low self discharge
• Improved high recovery type
• Excellent Over-discharge Performance
• Pre-Charged using Solar Energy
• Ni-MH Battery Tips: Verify device compatibility with 1.2V Ni-MH batteries. Runtime may be shorter than 1.5V alkaline batteries. Check proper fit as Ni-MH batteries are slightly larger than alkaline batteries to comply with IEC standards. Replace all batteries simultaneously and consult the device manual for specific requirements. Charger Tips: Use only Ni-MH specific chargers with independent charging channels and voltage monitoring to prevent overcharging or undercharging. Avoid timer-only chargers and never use chargers designed for other battery types (like NiZn or Li-ion), as this may cause damage or leakage.

Customer Reviews Summary

The AmazonBasics AA Ni-MH are a great alternative to the traditional alkaline batteries in almost all your electronic devices. For the cost per battery and number of charge cycles per cell, you'll get a great amount of value over time, especially when utilizing high power devices. The AmazonBasics are considered best in value when compared to many other Ni-MH batteries (when not on sale) and even more so during 'Lightning Deals' or 'Prime Deals'.If you head over to CFP or Amazon US (NLee), there has been much debate on whether or not these are rebranded batteries by FDK (Fuji), the rechargable batteries made by them are better known as Eneloops. So far, the consensus is they are identical to Eneloops (2nd or 3rd generation) that are 'Made in Japan', as long as you have the one's with white wrappers or the higher capacity Ni-MH in the black wrappers. As far as I can tell, they hold the same capacity and have the same LSD (low self discharge) as the regular Eneloops I have.At the regular price, the AmazonBasics Ni-MH are a much better value than most places for the given Panasonic Eneloop equivalents. When on sale, it's almost next to impossible to match the price. The only exception I have seen so far are the Duracell Ion-Core AA Ni-MH batteries, which are rated at a higher capacity and are identical to Eneloop Pro's and the AmazonBasics Ni-MH High Capacity. You can get these for roughly $9.99 at your local Staples store from time to time. When at the sale price, the higher capacity batteries may be worth the extra money, at the expense of of a higher LSD rate and a lower rating of 500 recharge cycles.These batteries are great for replacing most of the alkaline batteries in your electronic devices, such as your remotes, toys, game controllers, etc. Unlike alkaline's, Ni-MH's will not leak (rate) due to a parasitic draw and ruin your devices, this tends to happen in flashlights or electronics you tend to leave and don't use for a long period of time. Being LSD, they hold their charge much longer than first generation Ni-MH batteries.The AA Ni-MH batteries can be recharged many times and it is very unlikely you'll reach the 1000 charge cycles, unless you discharge the batteries regularly on a daily basis. A good quality smart charger can extend the life of the batteries, as they tend to have features such as, refresh, independent charging, and they stop charging the battery when they are determined to be fully recharged. However, this does add to the cost of maintaining these batteries ($30-$80 depending on the charger), especially if you don't already have one.One issue you may run into with these batteries when compared to alkaline's and especially lithium AA batteries, is the weight. Ni-MH batteries, while being environmentally friendly, are quite heavy. For weight critical applications, these batteries are much heavier than their counterparts. If you use Ni-MH batteries in your flashlights or game controllers, you will definitely notice the extra weight. Though, given you don't have to go and buy non-rechargeable cells, that might be a great thing, or terrible if you like having lightweight equipment
