My Amazon screen does NOT show free returns. If it did, I may take a chance. I could use some rechargeable AAs and have had declining performance from the Amazon Basics that I usually buy when on sale.
Its a pass for me.

afaik it's always returnable, if it's a valid reason. some things like food, may not be returned, but that is clearly spelled out on the page (usually on the right side)
I just ran across something unexpected. I just took a pair of >10y/o AAA Eneloops off of the charger each showing ~870mAh. The are the white ones with blue letters. Somehow they are not enough to power up my Logitech K850. As a test I pulled a pair of green (white letters) Eneloops that have been in a Logitech K375s that I have been using for a couple of months. I poped the green ones in and the 850 works fine. The green ones are around 8 years old.
Never seen that before.
F/U Addendum - I re rotated the batteries and all works fine. I think it was a contact issue. The white ones are so old that the plastic cover is starting to peel off at the button (+) end. I think the plastic was covering the + terminal. I was careful to put that one in last making sure there was no flap over the button and the keyboard fired right up. Just an FYI for any of you out there using old, peeling batteries.
PS: Why would someone dislike or "thumbs down" the original comment? The person was just expressing an opinion. Why not explain why you don't like the comment? My experience only but, most who use these kinds of batteries would likely agree with the original comment.

PS - Does anyone here have a good recommendation for some cheap - reliable 3.7V 18650s? Either flat or button top would do.
Agree with all who say eneloop or go home, still going strong after several years.
Powerex were the worst for me, avoid at all costs.
Tenergy is not too bad but I need to use an old nicad dumb charger to get them to charge up to a workable charge(not close to their stated capacity). To be fair, these are older than my eneloops. The panasonic charger will not charge them at all, get the dreaded blinking light.

All are reliable vendors. It you want top cells go with brand names-Panasonic, Molicel, LG, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony.. Some of the less well known may be OK if you are clear what you are getting. Occasional clearance/sales are not uncommon.
KNOW what you are buying in terms of required capacity vs current output.
Don't buy from Amazon unless you know for sure they are not fakes. Fakes are common. Amazon makes no effort at all to sort that out.

The capacity WILL NOT BE 2800. Probably more like 1900-2200. Until someone does a real test it's a crap shoot.
ALL NIMH WITH HIGH CAPACITY WILL NOT LIVE AS LONG AS THE 2000mAh variety. That includes Eneloops. There is a price to pay for higher capacity. This is true for ALL BATTERY CHEMISTRY OF THE SAME TYPE AND SIZE.
Their lifespan and voltage retention will not be as good as quality batteries. Probably no one has a clue about this since these 'easy come easy go' brands simply disappear after awhile.
