Junk.Bought a 12 pack for slightly over a dollar a piece. Sounds like a great deal but just blew over $13 dollars for nothing. Charged 4 to full and another 4 were sent through refresh cycles (discharge/charge). Put 4 in a Sangean portable radio and in less than1 minute of use the "battery low" indicator was on and the radio powered off. Put the other 4 in and the same thing happened. I realize that rechargeables max out at 1.26V instead of 1,50V but still, I expected better.

How low is the self discharge?
Usually the lower mAH AA's are better for self discharge, but I wonder what corners were cut with these.

They are a little thicker than non rechargable / expensive versions so super tight fits wont work well. I've bought hundreds of ebl, Fujitsu, envelope, la Crosse, and more recently (2019+) Amazon ones and I throw them out when I can no longer get them to take a charge, currently in my stash I have ~70% Amazon batteries(TiVo/Roku remote usage, Xbox controllers, motion lights, everything has a fairly solid frequent draw so I don't care about energy loss when not in use.)Aside from the size difference, they seem about as trustworthy as the big name brands for my usage so as I replace rechargeable batteries I find myself going to Amazon especially due to the super cheap price compared to the other brands.
