Best Bang for the $ in rechargeable batteries IMO

Please note your mileage may vary from mine but I've had extremely good luck with Amazons rechargeable batteries & always make sure I get ones that are Made In Japan. Most of them I have now are going on 4 years old & are constantly being recharged & used on heavy demand items like cameras, RC vehicles, game controllers, etc. Also note that if you want & expect good longevity ... nothing helps more than using a good quality "smart" battery charger. I use the NITECORE Smart Charger that has served me well. Got it on Amazon too. You can select 2 different charge rates & I prefer the slowest rate & it seems to be the perfect recipe for good battery life. Every one of my rechargeable batteries are charged UP at the exact same rate & ALL & still are making it to 100% capacity at the time of this review & I can't complain about that. We use a LOT of AA & AAA batteries around my house & the rechargeables & smart charger is simply good money spent .

Bargain Eneloops?

The product came in a frustration free paper box, as shown in the attached photos. They where made in 2017/10. The batteries are made in Japan, and has a rated capacity of 750mAh. I popped four of these these straight into my old LaCross BC-900 battery charger to test. They were partially charged showing a uniform voltage of 1.34V (or around 89% full). After one cycle, the capacity reads out to be 762/805/788/821. After around 4 cycles, it improved to 821/802/827/847. Note that the LaCross charger doesn’t always give consistent results on mine, but it’s a good idea about the range of capacity, which are significantly higher than the rated 720mAh. There were many speculations that these are regular Eneloops (as opposed to the pros which are rated 900mAh+). It’s not the first time this has happened, and I have purchased similar rebranded Eneloops in the past (such as some old Duracell NiMH). The fact these are made in Japan limits the number of suppliers available, and that they hold over the stated capacity is also something that’s almost exclusive to Eneloops. Finally, it’s also said that while Panasonic owns the Eneloop brand, Fujitsu still has the right of production, and have been making them for the likes of Amazon, IKEA, Duracell, etc. At half the price of regular Eneloops at the time of this writing, and possibly even less when on sale, these are truly the best bargains out there for the finest NiMH available on the market. While it can be argued that the Eneloops are probably worth the ever higher asking price, it’s impossible to overlook that these are very likely the same goods for much less. Seeing how other cheaper NiMH tend to fail to perform, and having used Eneloops and their rebranded cells for over a decade, I’d say these are quite the bargain if you are in the market for LSD NiMH rechargeables. Lastly, there are also higher capacity variants available from AmazonBasics AAA High-Capacity Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) Pre-charged - Packaging May Vary, which along with Ikea Ladda are supposed to be the Eneloop Pros, in case you might need those as they rival Alkaline in capacity and endurance.

I buy nothing other than Amazon basics rechargeable anymore

I buy nothing other than Amazon basics rechargeables anymore! I use a HIGH quality single cel charger that tells me the capacity of each cell. All of the about 50 cells I have, are rated by my device at or very darn close the advertised capacity! If you have ANY issues with these, then it may just be your charger. Nothing beats a high quality charger. Many bulk and cheap manufactures sell cheap solid green label or solid red labeled batteries, (the outer battery jacket) Amazon basics ARE NOT these types. I also see no difference between the white jacket amazon's and black jacket Amazon's, they are all awesome. :) In a market where decent batteries are so hard to find, I'm so glad that Amazon has chosen not to sell junk! Thanks!!!

Good luck finding a better re-chargeable and a better price

I love these batteries and I love that Amazon keeps changing the printing on the casing so I can just about tell which year I purchased reinforcements. ;) The only downside is that these batteries aren't great for slow-drain applications like smoke detectors, thermostats and wireless mice. Much better, however for quick use and recharge, like camera flash and children's toys. In all applications I find that a non-rechargeable battery would perform slightly better/longer, however, to save the planet, these batteries are perfect for all but the most demanding, critical applications. I'm going into my 6th year using my first batch of these batteries so long term storage and re-use have definitely saved me money.

Batteries appear to be as advertised

Purchased "Amazon Basics AAA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries (8-Pack) Pre-charged" 20 March 2017. They are black color with green stripe at + end. Made in Japan and rated 750 mAh minimum. Model # HR03. Initially tested by charging, which added an average of 454 mAh capacity per battery. After charging, they were put aside for three months and then tested again. This time an average of only 125 mAh was added, which is an average loss of 17% capacity in three months. Battery capacity was tested (discharge mode) and the average was 767 mAh, with 746 mAh lowest and 786 mAh highest, measured with a LiitoKala® Engineer Lii-500 battery charger/discharger. Charge rate was 300 mA and discharge rate was 250 mA.

The real world experts have weighed in and they say its a 4-way tie!

I've been reading so many reviews on Amazon for too long and realized that I sill didn't know what AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries to buy (3 out of 4 of the ones I'm looking at have well over 2,000 reviews with a greater than or equal to a 4.4 rating! No wonder all those reviews still left me scratching my head because so many reviews across all the batteries with such a rating are just that well written!) I finally came to my senses and found a great article on the Internet that actually represents my and possibly your dilemma over picking the right rechargeable battery. It's so short and sweet. The answer is between all 4 brands (i.e., AmazonBasics, Energizer, Eneloop, and Duracell), there is practically no significant statistical difference and because of that fact, they recommend that we just buy whatever is the cheapest at the time we are buying. (The study is from 2017 and they did rigorous testing on the batteries) Amazon policy disallows links to sites outside of Amazon. The best I can do to direct you to said article is this: Do a google search for the following exactly as I have typed it, including quotes: "The Best Rechargeable AA and AAA Batteries" site:thewirecutter.com As of the time I am writing this review, the article is the first search result from Google. If you are using other search engines, you will likely have to leave off the: site:thewirecutter.com Just use the title of the article and make sure you land on thewirecutter.com web site. I am against any compensation via discounts, coupons, or any other cost break for giving reviews. This review is my true experience.

Milk...Milk everywhere... (great batteries too!)

Great batteries. I purchased a 12-pack of the white Amazon Basics (same price as these as of this review) not long ago and found that I needed a few more, so I ordered these. Both the white and black Amazon Basics AAA batteries appear to have similar specs, but these black ones pack a lot more punch. I didn't realize how much until I went to whisk the milk for my coffee in the morning. I swapped out the depleted white batteries for freshly charged black ones, I pressed the button on the whisker, and within a few seconds the milk was flying up the sides of the measuring cup and all over myself and the counter. The whisker has never spun nearly as fast, even with the white Amazon Basics being fully charged. I have learned to use a taller cup for milk whisking. While you might get 4 more batteries if you purchase the white version, but these seem (at least to me) to be the better buy.

So happy AmazonBasics has a more affordable alternative to the Panasonic Eneloop - Highly suggest!

We can never have enough of these AmazonBasics AA & AAA rechargeable batteries. They're a great price and work with the Panasonic Eneloop recharging stations Panasonic K-KJ75MCA4BA Advanced Individual Battery Charger With USB Charging Port 4AA eneloop 2100 Cycle Rechargeable Batteries. We originally started out with the Eneloop branded batteries such as these Panasonic BK-4MCCA8BA eneloop AAA 2100 Cycle Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 8 Packand they do work great, once the AmazonBasics line came out I decided to give them a try as they're generally a bit less expensive. They seem to be identical and are just wrapped with the AmazonBasics branding instead of the Panasonic Eneloop branding. Either way, both are a great purchase over standard disposable batteries and are well worth the investment. The AmazonBasics ones come with minimal packaging and are generally packaged in a small cardboard box that ensures safe shipping conditions and hassle free product packaging.

So far, so good!

These batteries have meet my expectations. They arrived with about 66% of charge, plenty to operate our wireless telephones. We placed them in our four "aged" Panasonic handsets and they were all up to full charge in no time. Our phones are all working great. A good value.

Great value and long charging life

Well, since these are just rechargeable Amazon Basics AAA batteries there's not going to be a lot of hoopla and hurrah about it. I will say that I've bought many, many sets and brands of rechargeable batteries over the years and there are a few things that set these apart. For one, they are well build/wrapped. The majority of budget rechargeables I've bought in the past, whether they were the better Harbor Freight models or simply plain Jane imported Chinese off brands, the casings tend to start coming apart after a while especially if you have a very tight charger or use them in devices that have a very tight fit causing you to have to somewhat pry them out of the device. Usually that starts tearing the casing fairly quickly and creates a potential hazard after a while which results in having to either be very careful of what you use them in or toss them at some point. Not these. They are well built and do not "delaminate" easily, for lack of a better term. So far I've bought four or five sets of these, and all of them are still working and holding full charges even two years after purchasing my set and after at least a hundred charges on each battery. Most rechargeables I've purchased in the past, even "name" brand units, have started losing charge capacity after about fifty charges. Totally happy with them and you honestly can't beat the price or ask for a better quality battery at this price. They also hold a charge during use for a very decent amount of time. In my opinion the mAh rating seems accurate and does not seem to diminish, at least not yet, after all those charges.
