As an alternative, the Ikea Laddas are supposedly rebadged Eneloop Pros at well under $2/battery. Ive been running those and have been happy with the results.
People put way too much stock in the whole "made in Japan" thing. Not all batteries made in Japan are good, nor are all batteries made in China bad.
You are correct that the Energizer NiMH are usually made in Japan, however they are definitely not rebranded Eneloops. They have different physical and electrical characteristics. Strangely, there's a huge difference between the 2000mAh and 2300mAh version. The 2300mAh version are garbage, while the 2000mAh seem fairly decent.
I know people often bring up the supposedly rebranded Eneloops, such as the IKEA Ladda or Watson MX/CX but I'm not convinced they're as good as genuine Eneloops. The ones I've tested have been quite inconsistent, unlike real Eneloops, which have all performed virtually identically. Also, a site that did long term testing had rebranded Eneloops at the bottom of the chart, while the genuine ones did quite well.

They are 1.2v, which is under the normal spec of 1.5v (non rechargeable or rechargeable ion batteries)
All my AA batteries are rechargeable, and I recently stopped getting anything 1.2v because random toys for the kids just wont power up or run unstable with the lower voltage batteries, so lithium ion rechargeable are worth it for me in this case.
I'm sure there's degradation, but they still work and we just toss them back on the charger a bit sooner.
You'll know. They don't hold a charge. I got some counterfeit ones and contacted eneloop, they said I voided the warranty because I used a non eneloop charger! I was very pissed off. I was using a nice powerex charger too
Agree. I bought rechargeable usbc 1.5v batteries from Aliexpress. Been using them over a year, very stable.

It's not fun to grab a 'charged' NiMH only to realize it basically fully discharged itself since the last time you charged it.

I haven't had that problem with the higher capacity cells, but everyone's experience is different.
Wife just bought several floating candles (see: Harry Potter) and the set uses 20 AAA. So far, I've only had to use one set, but I can see this getting expensive.

Funny, we had the same idea on the floating candles. That's how I came across posting this deal.
I had just bought some Powerowl rechargeables as well as some EBL Year of the Snake batteries. We have a Slytherin in the house and they wanted to put the Snake batteries in these candles and we will have a fun battle of the houses to see who wins. (Ravenclaw are PowerOWLs, Gryffindors are the brave Eneloops)
Man he really goofed up that segment by transitioning directly from the 5-6 yr NiMH test followup right into the comparison chart for NON-RECHARGABLE lithium vs alkaline.
While there are circumstances where people may get close to these numbers, the average person (even with the best charger) isn't going to come remotely close.
ProjectFarm recently did a comparison of rechargeable batteries used for 6 years @17:05.

Here [aacycler.com] is a site that has done some long term testing. I find the high capacity AA results interesting. The Panasonic Eneloop Pros rank 7 out of 39. The Japanese IKEA Ladda, Duracell Ultra, and Fujitsu Black are in 35th, 36th, and 37th place. They only beat the Panasonic 2700mAh (which I don't know the origin of) and Energizer 2300mAh (which I too have found to be awful).
