EBL Solar AA Battery Rechargeable Batteries for Outdoor Solar Lights, 1300mAh NIMH Pre-Charged 1.2V Recharge up to 1200x Times for Garden Landscaping String Lights, Pack of 12

I needed to order some solar batteries to replace the ones in my deck lights that were older and not keeping a charge. I saw these and figured for the price and the amount I needed these were the best option. I like that they came packaged in plastic storage boxes so I can keep them separate from my regular batteries. I’ve been using 10 of them since I ordered them and have had no issues. Overall I think they are a good value for the price and would recommend.

Really good batteries so far. I'm using these in some solar lights and they are doing well. They did come pre charged so that was helpful. Would definitely recommend them for the money.

They're pretty good but they don't hold a full charge.

You know how hard it is to find the best battery for your buck. Generally for a budget battery amazon basics wins in this and with most other products. Based on a recommendation I decided to try these EBL batteries instead and I am very happy with my choice. Batteries performed better than expected and what really made these my choice of the future is the customer care. I had a few of these that would not accept a charge and since i already had half of them installed in the lights i chose to reach out to the company to see what they suggested regarding the batteries that would not charge. With no jumping through hoops EBL quickly APOLIGIZED for the inconvenience and said they would replace the defective batteries. I cant ask for more than that. I am a new loyal EBL customer.

Perfect replacement for solar landscape lighting and way cheaper than at the home store.

Extended review for full experience:This is my first time buying EBL brand batteries. I purchased these two months ago, wanting to fully evaluate them to see how they would hold up as solar light batteries and various other uses. First thing I did was charge them. Each battery was precharged as promised, took about 30 to 90 minutes before indicating a full charge. I had about 16 solar lights of varying models.I purchased a smart charger in order to charge them individually since these would be discharged in the same manner. This turned out to be a very smart investment, more on that later. As I started using them, swapping out the original batteries, I found all my solar lights had very cheap cells, varying anywhere from 300 to 900 mAh. This explains why a lot of them were seldom on more than a few hours, if at all. The older solar lights were worse off, there was battery leakage in half of them. I did some general cleaning and testing them, finding a few solar lights would stay on even in a dark room, or not turn on at all. After some research the problem was not a battery problem, the photocell light sensor had gone bad.Through the first few nights of use I noticed some solar lights were not lasting very long just a few hours, while others stayed illuminated the entire night. This is where the smart charger came in very handy. I rotated some of the EBL batteries around and seeing their mAh charge capacity: most were getting the full 1100 mAh, a select few were charging only to 500 mAh. So to troubleshoot the lower rating I discharged cycled and recharged at a higher 500 mAh charge. This worked great, now getting the full 1100 mAh. What seemed to have caused this was memory effect of charging in certain solar lights (always seemed to be the same solar lights going out).I checked these periodically throughout the night for the first few weeks, and found they were much more stable. Now into the second month most of my solar lights stay illuminated all night, which is saying they last 10 hours this spring/summer, quite amazing. And I of course should say, they work best after a bright and sunny day. After a few rainy days they do dim after 5-6 hours, but the next sunny day fixes that. My solar lights are always the last to dim compared to the neighbors, lol.Side note: I have used these in a flash light and an Xbox controller, both applications met my expectations. I also purchased the higher capacity EBL NiMH batteries (white exterior) for those devices, all I can say is A+ for EBL.The EBL 1100 mAh NiCD batteries have been an exceptional purchase for me, hope this lengthy review helps some people. :)
