Also, the quality of Amazon Basics rechargeables are complete garbage now. I purchased some AAA's last week, rated at 800 mAh. After charging and testing with my LaCrosse charger, it appears that at least half of the batteries won't deliver 800. Several are in low 700's.
Don't waste your money on Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries. The batteries I received all said made in China, and they're crap.

They come off a fresh charge at 1.4+v, and settle down to 1.2v with some use for a long time, assuming it's a decent cell.
Alkaline have a more 'linear' discharge.
These are likely NOT LSD, which do not take well to the constant charge that some phones may use.

I read great things about Ladda rechargeables sold at Ikea, but I haven't tried them. I don't have a store close enough to browse. I've also heard that Ikea has a tough time keeping Ladda's in stock. I believe Ladda's are made in Japan.
Every other brand seems to fall off after Eneloop and Ladda. I don't know of any other lower priced alternatives that have decent quality. If anyone else has suggestions, please let us know.

Isn't all Amazon essentials Chinese crap?
Get something better like real Panasonic Eneloops or IKEA batteries, or just go with disposables.
Don't waste a breath.
Don't.
Just don't.
You've been warned.
