I bought these in 2017 and the batteries were too fat to work in most of my devices. For whatever reason they had a larger diameter than AA batteries should.

Can anyone who has purchased them more recently comment on the size? Also how the newer versions compare to Eneloop?

Edit: Recent reviews still indicate that they are too fat. I would recommend passing on these.

This is better
They were, and for many years were literally rebranded eneloops, but then they changed manufacturers about 4+ years ago and now it's a crap shoot. Always always look at recent reviews for these as they sometimes have decent batches, and sometimes really bad batches.

Seems like they're sending out trash recently as there are many 1 star recent reviews saying they only last 3-4 cycles, battery life far shorter than expected, and someone even had a exploding cell. I would avoid these right now as all it takes is 1 leaky or exploding cell to damage a device to make this slick deal a total pass.

High-capacity batteries can't take as many charge cycles. In general, I've found high-capacity batteries to hold up far worse than ones with more moderate capacities (~2100mAh or less).

There's plenty of in-depth reviews on Amazon. From what I've read, the Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries used to be made in Japan and were excellent. But apparently they're now made in China and don't perform nearly as well.

For $4 more you get Made in Japan Eneloop batteries vs these 12 Made in China. Surely one has a friend, family or co-worker with membership who can order online on your behalf and ship it to you? That's what I did.

Thanks for this. For a 5% surcharge you can check out as a non Costco member, added like $1.50 to the total, still pretty solid deal for japanese battery

If it is a question between the Costco Energizers and these Amazon rechargeables, that is a no-brainer.
It is the Costco batteries, hands down.

Speaking for myself, if I did not already have a Costco membership. this might put me over the edge on getting one.
I went anti-alkaline years ago. When I started trying to calculate the money that I lost in items that were destroyed by leaking alkalines, I did not even have to factor in the savings of rechargeables vs disposable to determine that I needed to make the switch.
Ironically, it was the Kirkland Signature Alkalines that were the worst. I had some of them even start to leak while in the packaging...before I put them into something for the first time.
I know there are new-looking versions of the KS batteries because I see Costco put new wraps on them....but it will take a lot to get me to trust an alkaline ever again.

Anyways....getting back on point... When I started making the switch, I was still finding alkalines to swap a year later. If you have a family, I suspect that you will be stunned by the number of batteries that are in use in your house. I think it may be safe to say that, if you want to do a full swap....AND have a few batteries left over to swap out for charging......AND have a few for those that seem to disappear (If you have kids, trust me on this one. I finally locked mine away and they have to bring me dead ones to get charged ones) you are going to want to pick up several packs.
Technically, you could possibly do this over time.
Lately, however, deals on Japan-made rechargeables have been scarce.

Unless you have a ton of devices, I'd definitely recommend investing in some lithium AA batteries instead of these. I've been using the same 8-set I bought around 5 years ago and they're still working great. The main difference I've noticed is they work until they don't, no power drop in small motors, unlike NiMH.

Such a joke, slick deals people are clueless when they upvote stuff. Amazon basics are the most worthless batteries, worse then dollar store brands.

Same chemistry/purity, but more 'stuff' needs to be.....crammed....into the can. This design change results in more capacity, but ultimately less longevity. This is true for ALL the higher capacity NiMh. No free lunch. You need to choose your priorities and goal for the battery use.

Right, that's a reliable source of info.
Basics USED to be re-badged Eneloops years ago. They have not been for a good while now. I strongly suspect they may not even use the same supplier consistently anymore.
