If they are not made in Japan they are not worth buying. Huge quality difference. I have eneloops that are 18 years old that still work great!
There is a specific factory in Japan that Fujitsu now owns (FDK), they make the best NiMH batteries in the world--aka the gold standard. I have some Fujitsu ones. Panasonic licenses out of that factory via Eneloop, so does Ikea. Ikea Ladda are equivalent of Eneloop Pro, so if you have one of those in your hood those are probably the best batteries/price ratio I could ever find. I 100% agree on your statement I have Eneloops over 10 years old still clicking, and EARLY made in Japan Amazon ones before they put them in some nameless factory in the jungle somewhere to the lowest bidder who I am sure employs 100% proper labor standards and environmental disposal.

However at a < buck a battery the Amazon ones if they last 5 years, well I guess that isn't bad and the discharge/IR (Internal resistance) doesn't pop it will be lower lifetime cost than an Eneloop because of the obvious made in a legit factory cost more $$$. With that said a 1 year warranty isn't exactly awe inspiring, at that warranty getting disposable AA seems to be a better deal.
There's a 20% coupon that shows up for me.

These are actually decent value, they are much better than random chinese brands. The japanese batteries are very expensive.

I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but these are rechargeable batteries. Why does Amazon offer them on subscribe and save? Do they think you'll toss them when they need charging?

They're good batteries, though. I have some I rotate through a 1 cell AAA flashlight I wear on a chain. They don't last like alkaline, but they're easier on the wallet once you recharge them a few times.

Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question, does it come with a charger? I didn't see it stated anywhere…

Mine did not, and the link doesn't mention one. I bought a cheap-ish smart charger that I can use for multiple types of batteries, including 18650s, for my very bright flashlights. It does a great job on these, too.

I see that you noticed that these are AAAs instead of double A's, and won't work. But to answer your question, Amazon rechargeable AA do work just fine for Xbox controllers.

All of the amazonbasics rechargeables I received in recent years were made in China. While there is substantial quality difference, they are less than half the price per a Japan made battery. Some people say there is a few DoA in a pack and others can be dead within a few charge cycles. Not a heavy battery user but among 20-30 I keep using I have not noticed that behavior yet, so I would still buy it if I didn't have too many.
