Amazon Basics - Meet or exceed, actually. They have a high failure rate in my experience (upwards of 30% in the first year after just a few charges), but they have always tested at least, and sometimes a bit higher than, the rating on the battery.
Duracell - Phenomenal batteries. Meet or exceed the rating advertised. Just more expensive. I still use a set from 2015 if that says anything.
Energizer (Japan) - Energizer makes batteries in Japan and China (think maybe a smaller amount in Poland too). I only buy the Japanese ones now and seem to have a much better experience. Japanese ones always meet or exceed their rating advertised. Had a few fail over the years sooner than they should have, but still a good experience with the brand.
EBL - Here's some info for this exact set of "2800mAh" batteries being advertised, because I just happened to get some very recently and the data just came in last night:
AA 1st battery - 2209mAh AA 2nd battery - 2223mAh
It's bananas that EBL does this considering the batteries aren't bad at all. They hold a charge, put out roughly what the other brands do, and are usually a good price. The AAAs that EBL sells are just as problematic. They'll claim 1100mAh, but two I just tested yesterday were 823mAh and 833mAh. That measured capacity is just fine and normal for a AAA battery, so it's incredibly frustrating that they advertise a much higher number.
That's almost as bad as the "9900 mAh" 18650 on Amazon.
Why is this even allowed?
