Also, I totally understand trying to defend the deal you posted, but let's not spread misinformation.
Sure, the EBL batteries use the same battery chemistry as Panasonic's Eneloops, but they are in no way, shape, or form comparable. Project Farm did a discharge test on multiple NiMH batteries over one year.

TL;DW - EBL ranked last in almost all tests, both when new and after a year of use.
Community Reviews
This bundle is a budget AA and AAA rechargeable battery set with a multi slot charger that stands out for convenience and higher power input. The charger has a 20 watt USB C port, USB A support, and can handle eight batteries at once, with some praise for its solid everyday use and no reported issues. The batteries are repeatedly described as decent for low drain gear like remotes, toys, controllers, and deadbolts, but the labeled 2800mAh capacity is often said to test closer to the low 2000s. Charging can also be slow, and the charger appears limited for capacity testing and some USB C cables.
Common Questions (5)
The batteries are commonly reported to test below the printed rating: the 2800mAh AAs often measure around 2200-2500mAh, and the AAA cells also tend to come in under the label. They can still be solid for lower-drain devices like remotes, toys, controllers, and deadbolts.
It can charge AA/AAA NiMH cells, but the listed charge current is only 300mA per slot, so a 2800mAh AA can take roughly 8-11 hours from dead to full. That slower rate may help reduce heat, but it is not a fast charger.
Yes, it can charge the same NiMH chemistry used by Eneloops, and it does not care about brand. The main caveat is that the charger is slow and some users prefer higher-end chargers for better capacity testing and termination behavior.
No. Capacity testing is limited to one slot, while the other slots only charge batteries. That makes it less useful if you want to test multiple cells at once.
Yes. The charger is described as able to charge 9V batteries in addition to AA and AAA cells.

Per the EBL charger you recommended, only slot four can test. I deliberately rotated the batteries so you can see the how the wrapper is designed and made sure slot 4 clearly shows "SANYO". Total capacity after a single charge, discharge, and recharge cycle is 1878mAh. This was done with the charger set to 0.5A, which is the default setting.
And before you ask, no... I will not test them again. I have taken very good care of these batteries and will not subject them to any additional unnecessary stress. They have lived a simple and comfortable life, which I wish to maintain. Slow power consumption, slow recharge, and a long rest before going back to work. The lack of abuse is likely the reason why they have performed so well for so long.
Not once did I move goal posts, not once did I try and put words in your mouth, not once did I insult you or your intelligence unprovoked (I was cordial until you started hurling insults). You doubted. I delivered.
I hope you find peace.

So many ones. I should play the lotto!
Can it be assumed a battery is bad when an old battery charges for much higher than its capacity rating? Or is my charger just not catching the full battery signal? I have some 2005-era "Made in Japan" AmazonBasics AA NiMH rechargeables that didn't stop charge until 3700mAh. I had set it to charge at a faster charge rate of 1.0A to not miss the full cutoff signal.

I have reason to believe that the actual cutoff isn't capacity, but voltage. Once the batteries hit 1.4V, they should stop charging. It's possible that the internal structure of the cell is compromised to the point where a slower charge isn't enough to boost the voltage to the 1.4V cutoff, so the charger "calculates" that it is still charging the battery, hence the 3700mAh capacity reading on yours until you boosted it to 1A.
