These Granicell AA NiMH rechargeables are aimed at low cost everyday use, especially solar lights, toys, mice, and other single battery devices. Capacity testing landed anywhere from about 1,791 to 2,350 mAh on multiple batteries, with one reading at 2,325 mAh, so the pack can be far closer to the label than expected. The spread between cells is wide, though, and that makes them a weaker fit for devices that use multiple batteries together. Outdoor solar charging can also wear NiMH cells down quickly, so they make more sense as cheap swap batteries than long life replacements.

Common Questions (5)

  • Measured capacities reported in testing range from about 1,791 to 2,350mAh on multiple cells, with one result around 2,325mAh. That is below the 2,800mAh label, but still roughly 65% to 84% of rated capacity depending on the cell.

  • A true capacity test requires fully cycling the battery: charge it to 100%, discharge it to 0%, then recharge it and read the final discharge result. A partial charge can make the measured mAh look lower or otherwise misleading.

  • They can work in solar lights, but outdoor solar charging can wear out NiMH cells quickly if the panels are dirty or charging is weak. They are best suited as cheap replacement batteries you swap out when they no longer hold a charge.

  • Yes, if the Hampton lights use the same-size AA NiMH cells and the same voltage. They are not suitable if the light uses LiFePO4 cells, which are a different voltage than NiMH.

  • They are a better fit for single-battery devices like mice or small flashlights. The tested cells vary a lot in capacity, so in devices using multiple batteries one cell can die earlier and drag performance down.

I bought the bevigors a month ago. Tested 8 and all 8 were around 1900mah
Thanks for the info!

For others who haven't seen the BEVIGOR ones, they're listed at 2,800 mAh (so the above 1,900 mAh testing showed about 68% of the listed capacity).

Here's a link to the BEVIGOR deal for reference:

Of course there's good products for less money but those are the exceptions, not the rule. To find good cheap ones, you might have to try 4 or 5 different ones, to figure out what's good. With that being said, there's a lot of truth to the saying "You get what you pay for". I understand what your saying and sometimes you can get lucky and it's right but more times than not it's not. I'm more of a buy once cry once kind of guy. For the most part, higher quality merch cost more to make so it cost more to buy. It's that simple.
From my former IT Director, who grew up in Soviet Bulgaria..

"We were too poor to be cheap". His way of saying "you get what you pay for".

Not great, but A LOT better than I guessed. I ended up only doing 3, I messed up the setting on slot 1 so It only read slot 2, 3, and 4,but I got, 2325, 1853, and 1829mah from the 3 that took. I'm trying to upload the pictures but sometimes SD acts jenky when I do pic uploads. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I'll keep trying but those are the numbers I got. That 2325 is a tad over 80% of rated capacity which blew my mind! Testing them takes forever because capacity testing on my charger is hard set to .5 amp and the testing cycle starts out with a charge to 100%, then a discharge to 0% and back to 100. Takes forever. Even if they were mostly charged to begin with, which they weren't, it still takes about 4 to 5 hrs to drain and 4 to 5 hrs to charge back up at .5 amp. About uploading images. Does anyone have any tips or tricks or maybe can help me find out what I'm doing wrong? I feel like I do the same process every time but somedays it works and other days it doesn't. So back to the batteries. One tested a bit over 80% and the other 2 where right around 67%. 2325mah is still less than the advertised 2800 by around 20%, but for the price of these I'd be super duper happy with 80% if they were all 80% I don't like that they are so different. Its not good when using 2 batteries in a device and one dies before the other one/ones and the voltage drops. That's why they recommend you should always put in all fresh batteries every time you change out batteries. But if the fresh batteries start at different capacities, it defeats the purpose of changing them at the same time. The internal resistance on all 3 batteries were all real close 60 milliohms. I'd like that to be lower, especially for high drain devices but all things considered, & "all things" mainly meaning price, 60 is not the worst number.

EDIT: I just loaded up 4 more batteries to do another capacity test run. Be back most likely tomorrow after I get the results.

UPDATE: the next 4 tested at 1791, 1881, 2350, and 1863mah. They are all over the place. To be honest, the average capacity was a LOT higher than I expected, so thats good, but them being so different in capacity is not. Even at the lower end of what I got (1800ish mah) I think they are well worth 10 bucks, especially if you are using them in single battery devices, like mice, small flashlights, etc... but because of how greatly the capacities differ, I wouldn't recommend using them in devices using multiple batteries. That's my take.

Don't erase my wiki post 'gregkurthfo', there are more reviews on the 1/2 stars that show this is JUNK, DO NOT GET SCAMMED. Protect your fellow SDrs. "COMPLETE RIPOFF. Advertise 2800mah but the reality is completely different. Using a charger/tester the REAL MAH is between 280 to 306 in ALL 24 BATTERIES. How many people have been scammed with this useless product?

I tested them myself and got 2325, 1853, and 1829, 1791, 1881, 2350, and 1863mah on the first 7 I tested. I'd post pictures of my results but SD isn't letting me post pictures. I don't think the reviewer is lying, my guess would be its more likely human error in doing the test. He might have done a capacity reading after the batteries were first bought and already had a partial charge. The mah reading on the charger is only going to show how much the batteries took until full. To get a true reading you have to completely drain the batteries before you test. My tester when doing a capacity test, first charges the battery to 100%, then drains to 0%, then back to 100%. It takes a long time because the charging/discharging speed is hard set to just .5 amp . The last 0% to 100% is the final reading it shows.

I wouldn't say it's "imaginary". I think saying their listed mah rating isn't accurate, or "over rated" is a better description. I tested them myself and got 2325, 1853, and 1829, 1791, 1881, 2350, and 1863mah on the first 7 I tested.

Test charge is adjustable on the LaCrosee BC-900 charger, but the discharge rate is always half of the charge rate.
