The last time I ordered these (May 2021) I ended up with 5 completely dead batteries out of the 24. From the get-go they wouldn't even register on any chargers, nor show any voltage on a Fluke 117 multimeter.
Fast-forward to today: only a handful of the remaining 19 are still functional. After a couple of slow-drain cycles they tend to die. I primarily used them in my Govee bluetooth thermometer/hygrometers.
Source: I have many years of experience with alkaline, NiMH, NiCad, LiPO, LiFePO, and Li-ion batteries. I attempted to analyze and charge the "dead" AAA batteries in multiple chargers, but none were able to revive them.

Recently bought the AAs. They were able to take a charge with a good charger, but they were DOA. Not a good sign for batteries that are supposed to be precharged.

I have had similar experiences with the amazon basics rechargables in the past. I have only had one eneloop fail, but almost all my amazon basics ones are dead and I purchased them a couple years after the eneloop

I have about 20 batteries consisting of a mix of eneloop, Tenergy, and Energizer that are at least 5 years old and are still alive and kickin'.
I recently tried EBL rechargeable AAs, but just like the Amazon Basics they didn't last long at all.
bought the aa (24x for $10) a month or so ago and have used 8 of them, they are all fine, pre charged, fit fine for various lanterns/flashlight/toys etc. $10 for 24 for either aa or aaa, i would buy again. time will tell if they are durable or not. but i would not pay $1 per battery considering previous deals and mixed reviews.
When the hell will we get off the standard garbage AA, 1.5 Volt AAA 1.5 Volt land fill/hazmat waste. That standard has been around too long, we need a new standard, lithium ion rechargeables, that have a 5-10 year life in form factor that actually works.
They have been making "rechargeables" AA and AAA for 50 years, and they still suck.... We need a new battery standard because the 1.5 v dinky batteries just don't suit recharging. Lithium ion is higher voltage, Nicad is lower. We need a new stadard that bins alkaline sizes in new products in favor of a decent rechargeable standard.

These are AAA.
