the only rechargeable that have failed for me have been the china made rechargeable.
Last week I picked up a Wii remote that was dead, one battery was from china and dead, the other was Japan and read at 1.4v. the wii remote was not used, it just sat for months and that was the last china battery in my collection.
spend the money on japan batteries, it is worth it if you use them more than 3-5 years.
The other method yiu can use is to use a fully ccharged nimh and short thr positive to the positive and the negative to negative for a few seconds and then put it on the charger. I just have a power supply and it is a lot easier.
I have China made Duracell's that are working fine after 5 years. In looking at reviews in aggregate it's not clear there is that large of a difference in reliability and it's definitely not as large as the price difference. A single data point doesn't change that.
12 Eneloops costs $32 right now which means you'd need a 300% difference in failure rate to make the Eneloops cheaper.

After looking at a lot of reviews, it's not clear to me the failure rate is any worse than the rebranded eneloops and they are a lot cheaper.

I have 8 year old Eneloops and Duracel, The Eneloops and the Japan Duracel are still in use (all hold good charge), the Chinese made Duracel have all failed...

This thing is awesome, it's set and forget and can also handle Li Ion batteries. For USB charging, get a wall adapter with 2 or more Amps. It's really handy if you travel a lot, in a pinch you could charge regular cells with a power bank if needed, in the car, etc.

Tldr; failures can end up costing way more than the savings you had from buying a quality battery.
