Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Performance Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Recharge up to 1000x Times, Pre-Charged

've been using this 8-pack of Amazon Basics rechargeable AAs for about six months now, and they've proven to be a solid, no-nonsense choice for household electronics.Performance: The 2000 mAh capacity delivers decent runtime - my wireless mouse lasts about 3-4 weeks with moderate use, and they power my TV remote for months. Whilst they don't quite match the longevity of premium brands, they're perfectly adequate for most applications.Charging & Longevity: The batteries charge reliably and hold their charge well when not in use. I haven't noticed significant capacity degradation after numerous charge cycles, though I'm nowhere near the claimed 1000 recharge limit yet.Value: This is where these batteries really shine. The price per battery is excellent, making them ideal for households that go through lots of AAs. Having 8 in the pack means you can keep spares charged and ready.Minor drawbacks:They do run slightly warmer than some premium alternatives during chargingInitial charge out of the box was quite lowPerformance in high-drain devices (like digital cameras) is adequate but not exceptionalOverall verdict: These are dependable, budget-friendly rechargeable batteries that do exactly what you'd expect. Perfect for remotes, clocks, wireless peripherals, and other moderate-drain devices. Not the absolute best performers, but excellent value for money.

This is the 3rd set of these batteries that I’ve bought now. They’re brilliant. Cheaper than a lot of others on the market and last way longer. I’ve bought other brands and they’ve all since stopped charging but these are still going strong. I’ve had to buy more because my kids keep staying them for them game controllers

Further to my review yesterday titled 'not to be trusted' suggesting the batteries were faulty was not a fair one.Yesterday I had a further 2 batteries which were 'dead' and my 'intelligent' charger status was null so I was beginning think that something wasn't quite right so I put then in a 'not so clever charger' for a short while and they have come back to life.I'm still not sure how 2 of 4 batteries could be 'dead' and the security light still working and why there was such a discrepancy of charge when all the batteries were charged at the same time.My conclusion is that the jury is still out on 'not to be trusted' until I can be confident we are not going to be left in the dark when most needed but for most purposes where usage is monitored my now initial impression is that they represent very good value for money.

Like many people I tend to use a lot of AA and AAA batteries. I've tried various manufacturers of rechargeable batteries, but read an independent review that praised these Amazon Basics batteries. I tried some and have been impressed.They seem to last well, and are usable straight out of the box, although with a slightly lower life before requiring a recharge. In fact my understanding is that often these batteries need several recharges before reaching full capacity (just what I've heard, can't confirm). According to my 'smart charger' they are full at 1.48v so almost the same as 1.5v alkaline batteries.I did have one that wouldn't automatically recharge. Normally people throw them away when that happens, however there are several internet videos that show you how to 'kick start' the battery so that it will recharge. I've used the technique on several occasions (for various makes of battery) and it works a treat. From having a seemingly 'dead' battery it recovers to become a fully usable battery again so don't chuck those apparently duff batteries away. Amazon don't like URLs in reviews so you'll have to look it up yourself.

Good quality batteries, longer lasting that most standard alkaline batteries. Great for torches and toys ect. Of course being Nickel–cadmium the output voltage is limited to 1.2volt so May not be suitable for some electronic equipment. (If you need the full 1.5volt opt for Lithium Iron batteries)

Just what I wanted

The Amazon Basics 8-Pack Rechargeable AA Batteries are a solid choice for the price. They hold a decent charge, and I love that they’re pre-charged and ready to use. My only issue is that the batteries do take a bit longer to recharge compared to some other brands. However, considering the price point, they’re still a great option for everyday use. Definitely recommend them!

OK to a point, but value suspect. These do not last as long as others.
