For comparison, I have the old white label Laddas and they still hold a fantastic charge after being used in my controllers for years. My Amazon China batteries still need to be recharged after sitting in a drawer.

Ikea Ladda comes in two capacities, 1900mah and 2450mah. The 1900s are usually 4 for $10 and the 2450s are 4 for $12. The difference here is that Laddas are made in Japan, where all Eneloops are made. These Amazon batteries are made in China.

but i guess later should be the reason.
These batteries are slightly bigger in size than regular AA's. I got it last year, still holding good charge, 1 battery failed though.

Do you have trouble using them in any devices because of their size?
might be batch issues. or inventory cleanup.

I've heard these are a little larger and wonder if they would fit in my mouse, which is what I use mine for (also Chinese). One of mine failed already also. The battery in the remote on my Roku TV is always coming slightly "out" causing me to have to open the compartment and click the battery back in. I wonder if a slightly larger batter would solve the problem.

Alkaline batteries are probably still ideal for things like TV remotes because they can last years without needing to be replaced. Even these rechargeables that are "low self discharge" (or "precharged") do deplete a bit over time.
And if you have issues with rechargeables and use them somewhat often, look into a smart charger that can fully discharge them before charging. This will help maintain the life/capacity of the battery.

Think I'm going to pass on these AAs. Wish my mouse were rechargeable.
Just tuck a small piece of foam inside the battery compartment (or glue one to the door of the compartment) to keep the batteries from sliding around in there.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been looking for something to stick in that compartment. I'll try some foam. By the way, I just looked at the remote and realized the batteries are AAA, not AA. Weed is legal here in Arizona LOL. I did compare my Chinese AAs to a regular one and they seem the same width. By larger, do you mean in length or diameter?

From 3 different batches of Amazon basics rechargeables deals to serve a family of 6 since 2018, they consistently pale in comparison to the former in: idle discharge, capacity, and lifecycles. They start strong but taper down really quickly compared to eneloops.
Edit
Bigger compared to basics aa recvargabkes bought from amazon direct
