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.

That said, I'd recommend spending a few cents more per battery and getting the Amazon Basics High Capacity rechargeables (currently on sale for $1.07 per battery in a 24 pack). I recently purchased them and they are normal battery size and the higher capacity has them lasting about as long as my enloops.

People buying these are bad for environment
Anyone have any suggestions on good chargers that don't reject batteries if they're even slightly degraded?
Not a fast charger (which actually extends battery life) and the reviews were solid on some forums I went through trying to find a decent charger.

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.
I bought a (12) pack of Amazon AA rechargables in 2019 to replace some eneloops that died a year or so after purchasing them, afterwards as my *OTHER* brands (prior to buying the 12 pack I had 0 from amazon and give or take another 100 or so from the various big names as I use a TON of AAs) have failed since then I've replaced them with amazon batteries as their failure rate was pretty much in line if not better than the big names at a fraction of the price when purchased on sale (in my usage of the word, it's when none of my chargers will charge them, I don't test how long I can run X on a battery, I only care about rechargeability as I can easily swap batteries as needed.) So, in other words as plainly as I can put it: amazon batteries in my limited usage do not fail at a higher rate than the more expensive batteries so I've been buying only amazon batteries (except for big sales) since ~2020 to replace failed (other mfg) batteries, while at the same time I've not thrown away very many amazon batteries resulting in them going from ~12% of my rechargeable AAs to nearly 70% without increasing the number of rechargeable batteries I own by much if any (numbers are all guestimates, but if you're religious about X battery mfg then by all means, keep buying them, they'll appreciate your business. I'm just giving my *limited* experience in response to all of the oh noes posts.)
Hope that clears things up for you once again I'm not quite at the level of OCD that I'll tag individual batteries and keep a log how long it takes to charge and discharge each, but I'm easily able to note which batteries have been thrown away and was surprised that amazons seem to last as long (chargeable lifespan only) as those costing significantly more so I've migrated to them except in the cases of good sales on others.

These amazon batteries went from Made in Japan to Made in China. Get these now and you will see a big difference in quality. It's even in the amazon reviews.
