A rechargeable needs to be used a certain number of cycles to be "worth it". It's probably around 4x more expensive and taxing on the environment than a regular alkaline. So you'd need to use it for more than 4 cycles in it's lifetime to be advantageous. Using it in low drain applications probably won't be worth it because you won't get 4 full charges out of it before the end of its lifetime. I would only use rechargeables in medium to high drain applications.

I always seem to see a bunch of mixed reviews about these Amazon rechargeable batteries. This is a very tempting price, so, I'm curious, are these at least worth buying and having around to use, for things like TV/Roku remote controls? Or would this likely be a complete waste of $9?

How often are you changing batteries on the remote control? Seems like a waste to use rechargable batteries on things where you don't frequently change the batteries.

Umm source?
That's not how it works.
Rechargable don't have a fixed number of years.

You should always use rechargeables

Note that rechargeable do have a lifetime in that they can leak over time, just like alkalines, if you don't use them.

I've had a huge number of rechargeable batteries leak and die on me over the years with nominal/no use.

Interesting info.

Even if it lasts 5 years, a lot of remotes nowadays are smart remotes with voice and Bluetooth built in.
So rechargeables would still be the answer.

For IR only remotes, I guess one could use alkalines

This is a good deal. However, in every batch of these I've ordered (AA and AAA) at least 1 or 2 of them fail after a few charges

Damn, are these really that junky? I thought Amazon basics were supposed to be decent batteries. Did they change the manufacturer or something? Was thinking of getting more for my led headlamps, now those take some juice.
