Yeah I've just done the Amazon Basics ones in the past and I've been happy with them - https://a.co/d/01DFN8gZ . You can easily find a 4-port charger for them as well for under $10.
Extra information:
Since I've done the research in the past, here is some additional info. There are generally two kinds of AA and AAA rechargeable batteries - NiMH and Li-ion. NiMH are 1.2V and Li-ion are usually 1.5V. So Li-ion you may actually be able to eke out a little extra brightness out of it, though probably not very noticeable. Li-ion tend to be a little more pricey though as well.
The biggest thing is that they use different chargers, so if you ever decided to go with the Li-ion, make sure that the charger doesn't say "NiMH only."They do actually make universal chargers as well though for still under $10, like this one - https://a.co/d/0jktfnzb that can do both types.
This mini lantern stands out for its tiny size and handy clip, making it easy to pack for tents, picnic tables, and emergency kits. It gives enough light for ambient camping use, patio tables, card games, and power outages, and the low price makes buying a couple appealing. Brightness is the main tradeoff, though, since 500 lumens can feel modest for an omnidirectional lantern. The 1K version offers more brightness and battery life, but this one is the compact pick when portability matters.
Households wanting backup light during outages, because it works well when the power goes out.
Campers who need the brightest option and longer runtime, because the 500-lumen model is smaller but a bigger version offers more brightness and battery life.
It can be bright enough for small-area use like tents, patio tables, card games, and backup lighting during outages. For an omnidirectional lantern, 500 lumens is also described as dim compared with a 1K-lumen model, so it fits ambient or close-range lighting better than broad area lighting.
Rechargeable AAA batteries are a practical match, and 1.5V cells can produce noticeably more brightness than 1.2V NiMH cells. If you use rechargeable batteries, the charger must support the battery type, since NiMH and Li-ion use different chargers.
It is plenty bright for camping, patio tables, and picnic-table card games, especially when placed at both ends of a table. The compact size and clip make it easy to pack, though the light may need to sit away from the table and can attract insects.
The 1K version offers more than double the brightness and more than double the battery life with AA batteries, but it is significantly larger. The 500-lumen model's main advantage is its smaller size and weight, making it the better pick when portability matters most.
I agree. 500 lumens would be good for a directional flashlight, but for an omnidirectional lantern, it's dim. It would work well inside a pillow fort, I suppose.

Personally, I have the 1K lum version, and while it's not on sale I'd recommend going with it instead. At least for me, it was well worth $10. Not just double the brightness, but more than double the battery life using AAs instead of AAAs. Either way, regardless of the version that one buys still use rechargeable batteries, of course.

The 1K version is also significantly larger though. The main selling point on this 500 lumen one in my opinion is the small size/weight. Plenty good enough for ambient light in a tent and won't take up much space in your pack. Clip is handy too.
If portability is not a concern a bigger and brighter one (with better battery life) would be better for most. If a tiny size is of paramount importance, hard to beat for 5 bucks, if you have a need for this sort of thing.

The lantern can provide very bright ambient light for camping and patio-table use.
The clip and real-world size reference help with judging portability before buying.
The lanterns work well as backup lighting during power outages.
The 500-lumen model offers small size and light weight for packing convenience.
The 500-lumen output can feel dim for an omnidirectional lantern compared with directional flashlights.
The 1K-lumen version may be a better choice when brightness and battery life matter more than compact size.
The lantern may need careful placement to get brighter results, and the light can attract insects.
