24 AAA 1100mah for $14
Hmm although the 1 star reviews maybe don't think their capacity / voltage performance is up to spec.

BTW, high capacity NiMH have a higher self-discharge rate and far inferior overall/cycle life.
The vast majority of those 1100mAh AAAs have outright fraudulent ratings, including the ones you linked. The only ones I've seen come close to hitting that rating are the Tenergy Premium Pros. Most of the cheap brands outright lie about their capacity. Amazon seems to be the biggest exception.

Japanese produced cells beat Chinese produced cells, so the game seems to be finding the best Japanese cells for the lowest price, which means figuring out which off-brands other than Panasonic Eneloop (expensive) are still produced in Japan in 2026.
Ugg, why can't it be simple. =)
Edit: more research -- looks like the best bet if you want quality is the regular (not pro/high capacity) Eneloops and IKEA Ladda 1900 AA / 750 AAA (equivalent to the regular Eneloops as long as they stay "made in Japan") and then just waiting for sales on either.

Aside from Energizers, most Japanese NiMH seem to be rebranded Eneloops. Despite that, many of them don't seem to hold up nearly as well as actual Panasonic branded Eneloops. Even ignoring the results on that site, I've been very disappointed with some of them (especially the Watson MX/CX). Whether they come off the same line or not, some of the rebranded ones seem substantially inferior.
I've come to the conclusion that if you want the best quality cells, you have to shell out for actual Panasonic Eneloops. In my testing, the Eneloops have been unmatched in quality and consistency. That's not to say there aren't other options worth considering, especially when some are a fraction the price.
