with one of the batteries that had obviously been charged.
i caught a sale a months ago on a new aa 6 pack like that,
so it may be why it's being discounted.

Chinese cells might be fine, but you're way more likely to run into issues and who knows where those were made, with what, by whom and what their standards are. Does this mean all Chinese cells are crap? No. Does it mean all Japanese cells will be perfect? Also no. But what it does mean is Japanese cells on average tend to be far more reliable and consistent because they all come from the same place.
My Eneloop and Made in Japan Energizer and Duracells are all going strong after many years. My IKEA LADDAs are from Japan as well and they're newer, but so far so good. I know IKEA has had Chinese cells before so it's possible they swap from time to time (Energizer and Duracell also change manufacturing countries without changing the packaging, so you always have to check). But last I knew IKEA were back to Japan and use gray wrappers and have slightly increased capacity over the previous Chinese made gen that I think were brown wrappers.
The same "unknown" quality lipo packs are used on all rechargeable consumer electrics. Look around your house and see how many rechargeable made in China devices you have. They're all using the same spooky very Chinese cells.
Just bought haven't used but extremely good reviews everywhere you go but not cheap but cheaper than AMZ ATM.
