Ikea LADDA 2450mAh - $11.99/4pack
This is taken from IKEA USA official website as of January 12th, 2026. The eneloop deal is better.
Community Reviews
Panasonic Eneloop AA batteries stand out for long life, reliable charge retention, and strong performance in high-drain gear like Yale locks, Roku remotes, Xbox controllers, and motion sensor lights. The standard 2100mAh cells are praised for lasting years, with some still working after a decade or more, and the made in Japan packaging adds confidence. The main cautions are price versus IKEA LADDA or other alternatives, and the need for a sensible charger because very fast charging can hurt longevity. The 2450mAh version can also be too thick for some devices, so this is a durable everyday pick if fit and charging speed are handled carefully.
These Eneloop AAs can hold charge for years in remotes and locks, including older units.
These batteries can be a better long-term value than IKEA LADDA based on charge-count math.
These Eneloop AA batteries can last about 4.5 to 5 months per charge in a Yale WiFi lock.
A Panasonic pro charger can fully recharge these batteries in about three hours instead of roughly six hours.
These batteries can be used safely with Panasonic chargers since Panasonic makes Eneloop.
Fast charging can shorten NiMH battery longevity by increasing heat exposure over time.
Shipping and checkout can fail for some addresses, while Subscribe & Save may work as a workaround.
Some devices may not accept the 2450mAh Eneloop size because it can be slightly thicker.
Rechargeable performance in Yale locks can be limited when devices require higher voltage than many NiMH rechargeables provide.

With Nickel-based batteries, you DO NOT want to fast charge them, because heat is bad and shortens overall lifespan of the batteries.
My go-to recommendation is the Powerex MH-C9000 (either the original or newer Pro version; the newer one is smaller and remembers your last used settings, otherwise they are identical).
With this charger, and SLOW charging my batteries (maximum 200mA for AAA or 300mA for AA), I have only had ONE eneloop fail on me in under 10 years, and can otherwise easily get 12-15 years out of eneloops.
As for specific chargers to AVOID, I haven't seen them around a whole lot lately, but DO NOT buy any chargers from LaCrosse Technology. They may look nice, but were plagued by bad power supply issues that resulted in overheating and in a few cases, fire!
With young kids and numerous controllers/remotes/etc, many of my eneloop AAs have lasted 15-20 years.
I've not seen a NiMH specific Opus charger before (I usually see those in discussions about Li Ion batteries), but it looks similar to my Powerex MH-C9000 but with a more cramped display. Intelligent chargers that let you define the charge rate, and can do break-in/battery analysis tasks are definitely the way to go.
NiMH is 1.2V per cell. Using these in a device that demands alkalines will probably work, but will probably start in a "low battery warning" state and hold there for quite a while.
Li Ion... are 3.6V cells. To make a AA cell, they have a buck converter in the cell to drop the voltage to 1.5V. This is how they fudge things and advertise "constant 1.5v output" (and because of this, they don't work well in high drain devices, as their current output is limited to the buck converter's capability).
When you use these in a device that is made for alkalines, they'll show as full, but as they drain, the battery meter might not even be able to warn you of the batteries getting low, as they can jump from 1.5v output to just being dead.
There is no rechargeable battery chemistry that can mimic the exact alkaline voltage output curve from fresh to dead.

With only one exception, all my eneloops have lasted at least 12 years. The Amazon ones I've tried, most failed around the 5 year mark, with just a couple of them making it close to 7.
I also use their charger [amazon.com]to recharge my Eneloops, and it's been goo as well
That said--when you get into the "high capacity" NiMH batteries, in general the higher per-charge capacity comes at a cost of a much shorter lifespan of the cell, typically only lasting somewhere in the 5-7 year range, as opposed to standard capacity eneloops easily doing 10-15 years, possibly more.

I am seeing that price for the AAAs.
