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.
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.

These are rechargeable nimh.
For those wanting rechargeable called for voltage dependent applications, possibly in cold weather, you need voltage regulated lithium AAs, like Tenevolt AAs.
I've had a set for a while…haven't used them extensively but they seem to work pretty well and do put out a true 1.5v. I've tested them.
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ladd...-00509814/
And actual testing has the Ikea performing just as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efDTP5S
The Eneloops are actually mid-pack on both the raw performance *and* balance for cost, and IKEA performs identically on capacity after 6 years of usage.
TL;DR here is echoing what others have said, this Japan vs China nonsense is just nonsense, but it also points out what should already be intuitive, if you care about longevity + output, you can't beat single-use lithium's.
And while these are the "lowest ever" it's because the previous "lowest ever" was Christmas, and before that, Thanksgiving, etc: the price of this battery continues to fall over time.
Ikea ones are bigger bodies on some places where eneloop or energizer just fits just fine. And some say specifically not to use rechargeable (reason for buying disposable).
I bought ikea every year during birthday a year when ikea used to send $10 coupons. Otherwise buying energizer from costco when it is on sale.
All kids toys, mouse, even clock uses rechargeable. I keep the disposable comes with toys for occasional use or gifts (toys for other kids when it didn't come).
I think I only once bought disposable AA last year (still 60% in it, only using for the smoke detectors).
As far as price, if you like eneloop then this is good price. Not everyone got ikea or costco near by. Otherwise, the quality on them is fine.
Anyway all companies get sold to x and y, changes quality. Few still stand after being sold, like eneloops, Metabo hpt, etc. Few struggling and standing like Yamaha, sony, etc.
What PF does may make sense for the batch he did. I only stick with branded rechargeable opposed to cheap brands, only because the possibility of damage can be done to modern electronics by cheap ones.

If you need battery, this is a good deal.

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.

There's zero relevance to your reply since Powerowl NiMH rechargeables were NOT what was tested in Project Farm's latest battery video. Their lithium non-rechargeable testing well is completely irrelevant.
If you need battery, this is an ok deal. The 8 pack is bit cheaper than this.

I charged up a set of 4, put them in plastic holders, 6 months later I tried to use them, all dead. Put them in smart charger, and it showed them basically depleted.
Does this with any of the Tenergy AA batteries I bought, had bought 2 sets at different times, months apart, so they should be different lots.
