These are my go to for rechargeable batteries!

These may not be the BEST batteries in the world, and they are not the cheapest or the most expensive. In my opinion, these batteries are right in the sweet spot of all of those things! I have completely switched over everything in my home to a rechargeable AA or AAA batteries. With two kids we have a ton of batteries in every toy all over our home and its so easy to throw these on the charger and grab a fresh pair and not be worried about the money flying out of our pockets because my son left his toy on all night again. Tip: But a good quality Smart Charger that shows the battery level when charging. These do die eventually and letting them drain down to 0% too many times does not do good things to them but a good smart charger will help the battery life over the long run!

I was concerned... but no longer.

**** revised at bottom **** I'm concerned. I've ordered and received maybe 80 of these batteries. I originally got some batteries and the 8-Bay charger. I liked them enough to order more and get the 12-bay charger. But after a couple of charge cycles, I'm not happy. 4 of the AAA batteries won't charge at all. When the first one died, I didn't think anything and threw it away. Bad luck. But now 3 more of the AAAs are dead. So far, none of the AAs have died, but I don't use those much, and haven't really put them to a test. I'm primarily using these for a popular small LED "puck" light that is sold by Costco. Several days ago, I used the "contact us" form on the EBL website and haven't heard a thing. I hope these things don't keep dying, as I spent plenty of $$$ trying to avoid buying alkaline batteries. **** EBL contacted me based on the poor review and graciously agreed to replace the defective batteries. Thank you. What I've subsequently found out, by myself, was the batteries were not defective, just discharged too low. For the most part, the batteries were being used in LED puck lights, sold by Costco, that are remote controlled. Because they are always drawing a tiny bit of current for the remote control, the batteries discharge over a period of time. If allowed to totally drain, the EBL charger would not charge them, and they appeared dead. I've found that this behavior is quite common, and it's best if rechargeable batteries are not allowed to totally discharge. Of course, you are normally made aware that a battery needs recharging by the fact that your device doesn't work. What's the chance you caught each battery when it was "just about dead"? THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY REVIVE THESE BATTERIES, AND BRING THEM BACK FROM THE GRAVE. The trick is to manually give the dead battery a tiny charge, just so it isn't at zero volts. Then, the charger will will welcome the "dead" battery and charge it normally. HOW? Take a good batteryand touch the + end to the + end of the apparent dead battery. Also connect the - ends together with a short wire. After about 30 Seconds, the dead battery will have enough charge to be recognized by the charger and can now be charged and used normally. I've read that, on really bad batteries, it might take two 30-second treatments. If you ask me, the "smart" chargers should do this little trick themselves!

I'm impressed.

I've bought and tested several brands from cheap china no names to these EBLs. The imortant thing is their weight, which is 14g each. Thats good. Some brands weigh as little as 7g and an average for good brands at around 12g. 14g for these AAAs is really good. On first charge up and test out of the box, the mAh tested out over 16 batteries between 900 and 950 each, which will get better the more they are cycled. This is also a very good sign, they are pretty close to the rated mAh right off the bat..... and no nimh battery no matter what the brand is ever dead on the printed mAh rating. 1100mAh for an AAA size is pretty optimistic, but since they charged up only 100 or so mAh short of that on first charge/test, I'm sure they will indeed end up very close to the 1100mAh they claim. I really can't stress how awesome that is having tested so many brands of these things. I have not tested the self discharge rate. I will assume since these are this good, being really close to the rated mAh and their individual weight of 14g that the LSD claim will be as good as they say. If not I'll come back and edit the review. Be very aware of NiMh rechargeables and the deals you find.... if the AAA size isnt at least 12g and the AA size is not at least 28g, keep shopping. Light weight batteries are not worth the money. Also beware of the stated mAh rating. 2500mAh for an AA size is a realistic claim for a really good brand. Anything over that is wishful thinking unless its a super expensive high end brand that costs an arm and a leg. 1100mAh for an AAA size is optimistic even for a good brand. If it says something like "AAA size, 1800mAh!" or "AA size 3000mAh" its BS.... and those ones no doubt are light on the scale too. These EBL LSDs seem to be the top end real deal at a very good price.

So Far They Pass The Test

So far they have been as good as any of my higher priced low self discharge batteries. I tested the EBL 1100mah batteries against Tenergy Premium 1000mah, Tenergy Canturion 800mah low self discharge and a set of energizer alkaline batteries. I put a set in identical flashlights that hold 3 batteries and turned all of them on at the same time and let them run until there was not enough usable light at a distance of 25 feet. The Tenergy 800mah Centurion lasted for 8 1/2 hours , the energizer alkalines lasted for 9 hours , the Tenergy 1000mah lasted for 10 1/2 hours and the EBL 1100mah lasted for just over 11 hours. One note is the energizer alkalines were the 1st to start dimming. Especially the last 3 hours , but they held on to make 9 hours. But thats how alkalines are. All the rechargeable batteries stayed full brightness until the last 45 min before going dim.

Great bang for the buck

*The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is the simple fact that they're still an economy battery. I'm sure there are better, 5-star batteries out there, so I guess I'm kind of rating these based on a bigger scale. Hmm... Is that fair of me?* I've lost track of how many of these batteries I've bought over the last 4-5 years, but rechargeables tend to grow legs and walk away, so I've restocked a few times. And that fact makes it difficult to review these because the old and new are all intermingled and I don't know which is which. There are a few facts that I can pinpoint though: 1) I don't recall ever realizing that a battery suddenly just won't hold a charge anymore. That means that even the oldest of the bunch are still doing well enough that they haven't caused me to even take notice of diminished capacity yet. And I use a lot of batteries, so they're on constant rotation! 2) I know for certain that I've yet to receive a bad battery from the factory. Every one of these has been charged and ready to go right out of the pack. 3) Without over-analyzing it, I've always felt good enough about these that they've become my go-to when I need more. Their capacity vs. price makes them a really good value and I've found them to be totally reliable. What's not to love?

These are good quality batteries (1100) mah

These are good quality batteries (1100) mah. I have bought EBL batteries before and I have been completely satisfied with their performance in the past, These are no different as soon as they arrived I put them to charge usually takes about 4 hours to fully charge. These are great for led flashlights and they really last they are low discharge so they maintain alot of their power even after a while in storage. They also come with 4 plastic storage cases to store all 16 batteries each case houses 4 batteries. Overall very satisfied.

UPDATED REVIEW: I had to update this from a 1 star to a 5 star - my previous review was faulty.

UPDATE: I had previously given this product a 1 star review, but after deeper research, I have to switch to a 5 star review and as much as I hate it, admit that I WAS TOTALLY WRONG with my 1 star review and apologize for anybody I may have negatively swayed with my negative review. I have to also give the company a 5 star review for working with me to help make sure the issue was the battery or my personal user error. Thank you Tina with EBL customer support for reaching out to me and giving me some help! My Issue (mine, not the batteries): I'd bought 16 of these batteries originally back around January, 2016, and according to my STUPID "smart charger", after a few charge cycles usually 1 battery would read as faulty and just would not accept a charge. So I'd remove one battery every couple of cycles until eventually I was down to almost nothing. Then I made my post and I agreed to test these batteries with a different batch of 8 after speaking with the company and the smart charger was doing the same thing. The problem was not the batteries though... I have a degree in computer electronics (although it's as old as the hills and seldom used)...so I sat and thought through what the problem could be and remembered something I read while researching 12V chargers for car batteries - if the voltage on the battery is too low, a smart charger may not even start charging the overly depleted battery, so I applied this knowledge here. I have an old "dumb charger" for AA batteries (and these were AAA batteries from EBL), so I rigged a couple of rubber bands around the AA charger and took the battery that was reading low (and another since you need (2) batteries to charge) and charged them for 30-45 seconds in the AA charger to give them a little initial boost, then put the AAA batteries back into the AAA battery "smart charger" that I've been using and it was enough to make the charger accept the battery as valid and recharged it fully. I've done this for 6 cycles and had this issue 5 times, but every time that small boost was enough to make the charge start. This is NOT a problem with the battery, this is an issue with my charger not wanting to charge a battery that has been depleted to the levels that my AAA batteries were. I do not know what the cutoff point is for my charger calling a battery "bad" as it was, but I am using these batteries for my 6 year olds LED lamp that we use for a night light. If she wakes up in the middle of the night she can just pick up this light and find her way to our bedroom without leaving lights on through the house. The thing you need to know about LED's is they are "Light Emitting Diodes" which require 0.7 volts to turn on, and these are ~1.5 volt batteries. I can't explain this properly without writing a page of explanation, but briefly, the lower you discharge a battery, the more abusive it is to the battery, and depleting the battery from 1.5 volts until the LED's are dim is depleting the batteries until they are near or even slightly under 0.7 volts is a point that batteries should not be discharged, at least if you want them to last anywhere near the full number of recharge cycles. If I'd been using these batteries on a small remote controlled car, I'd have pulled these batteries earlier and they would have charged fine, but LED's take so little power to run that by the time they are visually "dim", the batteries are extremely depleted. So bottom line, these batteries are working 100% as they should. I haven't done any side by side comparisons to test the increased reserve capacity (11000 Milliamp hours) versus other 800 mAh which is more of the normal side, but I have to say I'm happy with these batteries, and grumbling under my breath at my charger for making me eat crow. :-p Shipping was quick, and my package arrived undamaged. For people that say the batteries arrived and were not fully charged as advertised - the batteries were (likely) charged when they were originally packaged, but batteries do deplete over time and if they sit on a shelf for a while, they will naturally discharge on their own through no fault of the battery. Think about it...if you don't run your car for several months, your battery probably won't start your car. Tip: When you buy a car battery, buy a dry cell battery if possible, and if not, buy a battery no more than a month old as batteries will discharge and sulfate (form sulfur crystals on the lead plates). A dry cell battery is one where the electrolyte is not added to the battery until you purchase it, so you have no chance of forming sulfur crystals on the lead plates while the battery sits on a shelf waiting to be purchased.

EBL, The Best Rechargeable I've Found

This is my second purchase of EBL AAA batteries. Nothing went wrong, I just found more uses! They're great in small flashlights, in remotes, in toys, a portable radio, lots of places. This time though, I also got four more of the magnetic base motion lights that I have found to be incredibly useful for maneuvering at night without turning lights on. The EBL charger juices the batteries for them up fast. I love the recycle aspect and didn't like throwing batteries in the trash all the time. I have left them on the charger for a week with no heating up because of the auto shut-off. Compared to others I've tried, I'm sticking with EBL.

Need a few break in cycles

Out of the box I put them on my smart charger's Refresh cycle to "condition" them. When it was done working on them, they all met or exceeded the rated 1100 mAh. It costs me a day of availability for new batteries; but necessary to get the best performance from rechargeables. You could put the new batteries in your device, use them until depleted (less than 5% left), charge, use them again until depleted, charge and use again. After that, they should be pretty good. But, I have to depend on my batteries for work. They have to perform well when I put them into a device. And I change them out often during long shoots when I have a chance to avoid missing a shot because of a drained battery. I don't want to/can't do "on the job" training of batteries. Now, for continuing maintenance, I'll have the smart charger Discharge and then Charge used batteries. Its best to pull any rechargeable batteries from their device and Discharge/Charge them before they become Completely Drained. Otherwise you might have to throw them on a "dumb" charger that blindly throws current at any inserted battery to "wake them up again." But, that doesn't always work, and is the subject for another debate.

EBL THE BEST VALUE IN RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

I've been an EBL rechargeable battery user for years and here is why. First, EBL Rechargeable Batteries are the best value anywhere. Second, EBL batteries have charging capability as good or better than other comparable batteries. Third, EBL sells batteries in packs of four. When you order EBL batteries the are sold in lots of four, and the fiur batteries come packed in a nice, recloseable polymer case that provide me with the ability to keep track of the batteries in quantities of four, makes it possible for me to date each pack of 4-batteries this info applies to both AA and AAA batteries. I don't know if EBL ever won an award for their batter chargers.m, but they should. Give EBL chargers and batteries a chance. Yes the are slightly more expensive than the Amazon brand,but the value EBL batteries and chargers provided far out way the few extra pennies you spend on competitors batteries.
