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.

Quote from elefante72 :
If you have a good battery charger that measures internal resistance and capacity added (with a refresh cycle), you can see how they degrade much faster than an Eneloop. So while they are working "technically" their SOC will drop to 70-80 2-3x faster than an eneloop and they also lose capacity. That becomes an issue for longevity but also there are many electronics that like higher voltages and either you use a 1.5V alkaline, or a higher quality MIJ battery else you are going to get frustrated by greater swaps.

Then there is the environmental consideration (if you care). If you need to replace MIC batteries 2-3x more than the MIJ batteries you are adding 3x the waste into the environment. Granted most people don't care, but as I get older I look at these things more carefully and will pay more for a more sustainable product where it makes sense.
I've been a slickdealer for 20yrs and now half way through my life I fully agree to the environment factor specifically with batteries and a few other things…along with extreme over analysis of anything I buy.

Thanks! Just reminded myself why I didn't buy the $1.98 grocery store 12 pack.

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.
They put all kinds of thing on S&S that don't make sense. I recently bought a toaster oven aluminum baking tray that was on S&S discount.

Quote from mbaci :
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.
If you plan to keep them for a decade, then the Japanese ones will be cheaper by far, even at twice the cost. I have yet to see Chinese cells hold up even a fraction as well as the Japanese ones.

Got excited that these were AA, but they are AAA batteries. OP, you might want to update your title to AAA.

If you already have a Panasonic or Eneloop NiMh charger - you can use it to charge Amazon batteries. I would recommend you get a better charger though like this one: Opus BT-C2000-charger-set AC 100-240V Battery Charger Tester Analyzer NiMH NiCd AA AAA C D Cells, Wall Adapter 12 Volt Input Portable Option https://a.co/d/24Coy6W

These are very unreliable. I bought some high capacity ones before that was on sale and they charge to full really fast but maybe because they don't hold much at all! They run out of charge REALLY fast like worse than many generic alkaline batteries out there.

Now I have been buying IKEA LADDA 2450 mAh and has been very happy with it. An IKEA store is about 2 ½ hr drive from my city but everytime I'm in IKEA, I make sure to buy batteries!

I did not get the 20% coupon, but the 16 package (on same page just click 16) is actually a tiny bit cheaper per battery (14.44) and there is a 10% coupon on my page.

BTW, I have 2 year old amazon basic AAAs (green like these) and recently tested some of them and they were about 900 mAh on my LaCrosse charger.

I have had a lot of battery leaks over the years…. Would switching to rechargeable stop that? There should be no leaks for rechargeable right?
