Featured Comments

Standard capacity batteries are a better choice in that case. They will generally hold up better and have lower self-discharge. I have had such bad experiences with high capacity batteries (including Eneloops) that I now actively avoid them. As a side note, I bought the standard capacity Amazon Basics AAAs and they tested 850mAh on average.
Don't bother with this e-waste. Get eneloops, LADDA, or energizer; just make sure it's "made in Japan" like FDK.
I've spent a whole pile of money on Eneloop non-Pro AAs that I expect to be reliable and stand up to high current draws in an emergency or on a regular basis. But there's plenty of applications where I just need a battery that won't leak and probably won't be cycled twice a year - especially in AAA. I consider these my #2 choice, and you can buy twice as many, if price is preventing you from going alkaleak-less.

Edit: I failed to notice these were "high capacity" and would prefer standard capacity.

Yeah my Roku remotes just burn through AAAs. This is a fine option

I have used eneloops for photography throughout the day for many years and had no issues. Even had a set endure a washing machine cycle and still did its job. I have also used these and ikea ones but the ikea ones couldn't hold enough juice.
None of these choices including the amazon ones are bad though. Never had a leak.

Same. It's the voice remote, right? No amount of Googling has produced a solution other than a solid pool of rechargeables.

I have used envelops for at least a decade and are happy with them. Don't think I have had one fail as of yet. The big issue IMO is using rechargeable batteries in led flashlights since they are only 1.2 volts compared to 1.5 volts in alkaline batteries. I have heard some flashlights won't even work with rechargeable 1.2 volt batteries but I haven't had that issue yet and most of my flashlights use the lithium 3.7 volts rechargeable batteries. If your led flashlight will work with rechargeable 1.2 volt batteries it will be quite a bit more dim because if the voltage drop. Lithium 1.5v AA and AAA batteries are available but they are expensive! Hopefully lithium batteries will go down in price BUT since electric cars are becoming popular and use lithium in their batteries who knows what's going to happen with the pricing?

That's the 800mAh version though, as opposed to the 850mAh this deal is for. The 24 pack of the 850mAh is still ~$20

Not if they are used in low-cycle applications, as the person you just replied to posted. Reading comprehension FTW!

Personally, I already have too many of similar batteries so am looking for better ones to go on sale
