I bought these and their rechargeable AAA's a few years ago and they were all garbage. They didn't hold much of a charge, so they went dead very quickly. Unless they've recently changed them, I wouldn't recommend them.

I believe there are at least two versions of each capacity. One is made in China, the other Malaysia. In general, standard capacity (~2000mAh) batteries hold up much better than high capacity versions. That extra capacity costs a lot in overall lifespan and a little in self-discharge.



Yes, people ignore the value of these batteries. Pretty much nothing else comes close in terms of price per battery or price per Ah. While EBL and a bunch of others are also cheap, nearly all of them seem to have massively overstated capacities. The 2500mAh EBLs I tested were actually roughly 1850mAh. The Amazon Basics batteries I've tested average at least roughly their rated capacity, in some cases greatly exceeding it. The made in China 2400mAh ones I tested mostly exceeded their rating.

While costly, actual Eneloops do seem to be the best quality. They are extremely consistent and come the closest to precisely hitting their rated capacity (no more, no less). I can't say for certain but I suspect at least some of the rebranded Eneloops are either rejects or ones that didn't meet the quality standards to be actual Eneloops. Some of the ones I tested (especially the Watson MX/CX) were much less consistent and showed evidence of high self-discharge. Interestingly, the 2550mAh Watson MX averaged slightly higher capacity than the 2600mAh Eneloop Pros.



For starters, those are AAAs, not AAs. Secondly, they're ten times the price ($7.50 vs $0.75 each). I don't know where you got 2250mWh from but that's just plain wrong. Lithium-ion AA/AAA are a whole different beast, and not always for the better. Nearly all of them are from no-name companies, of questionable quality, and use proprietary chargers. They almost always have higher self-discharge than a decent NiMH because they have to continuously power the regulation circuitry. That circuitry can also cause interference or other issues with some devices. The ones with built-in USB charging sacrifice considerable capacity to accommodate that feature. The ones you linked are 750mAh. A standard capacity NiMH is usually at least 800mAh. Some can reach almost 1100mAh. Also, the reviews for those batteries are almost entirely from people who got them free. Not that I put too much faith in Amazon reviews anyway, since I've seen plenty of garbage products with seemingly great reviews. In my opinion, lithium-ion AA/AAAs are more for niche purposes, powering devices that won't tolerate NiMH.



EBL is not a good brand. Most of their batteries have outright fraudulent ratings.



Manufacturing location is not a reliable indicator of quality. There are garbage batteries made in Japan and quality ones made elsewhere, including China. In recent years, Amazon sells ones made in either Malaysia or China. Sometimes it even varies depending on the quantity you buy.



They definitely do. Cycle through the various listings/quantities and you'll see it vary between made in China and made in Malaysia.

I have ones. I'd not say it's completely garbage, but it doesn't even 50% close to Ikea. Discharging much faster so their specs or quality is 👎

I've had good luck with them overall. I had a couple that went too low to be charged, which required connecting it to a charged battery for a few seconds so that the charger would charge it.

Odd comments. I got 8 pack some time ago and they perform pretty much as expected. Are they VERY good? I am not so sure but they aren't terrible. They last pretty much as expected in my remotes and in my mouse.

My experience has been similar - they aren't Eneloops or Energizer rechargeables, but they last at least 70 percent of these and are priced at a 1/3rd of the cost. Occasionally there is a dud, but this is rare. I use them in my kid's toys - no chance of them leaking and destroying the internals and they last reasonably long.

I have the AAA version and they're okay. They don't seem to last as long and discharge a bit more in storage but they get the job done and probably worth the price. I have a couple which were so low in charge, they couldn't be charged with my Panasonic charger but they charge on my Opus charger if you keep them on for a while

It's cause IKEA ones are supposedly rebranded eneloops from Japan. Ppl complain about Amazon one not holding a charge and overall not reliable. If you're good at maintaining your batteries then Amazon one is fine.
