Amazon Basics 24-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, 1.2V, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged

I decided to switch properly to rechargeable batteries after realising how many disposables we were getting through every year. Between Xbox controllers, remotes, wireless mouse, children’s toys and the odd torch during power cuts, it was adding up. I went for this 12-pack of Amazon Basics 2400 mAh AAs because the price per battery was very reasonable, especially compared to big-name brands. The fact they arrive pre-charged is genuinely useful. I was able to put them straight into a controller and a bedside lamp without waiting around for a full charge first. That convenience makes a difference. In terms of compatibility, they’ve worked perfectly in everything I’ve tried — standard AA sizing means they slot straight into controllers, torches, fairy lights, clocks and cameras without any fitting issues. They sit snugly in the battery compartments and make proper contact first time. Performance has been consistently strong. In higher-drain devices like game controllers and LED torches, they hold up well. Brightness in torches and battery-powered lights has been steady and comparable to good disposable batteries — no dim, weak glow or early fade. Even as they start to run lower, the power output feels stable rather than dropping off suddenly. The 2400 mAh capacity is noticeable. They last longer than older rechargeables I’ve owned, especially in devices that get regular use. They also hold charge well when sitting unused. I’ve had a few stored for a couple of weeks and they still had plenty of power left. As for weight, they feel solid but not overly heavy. In hand they have that reassuring density you’d expect from a decent rechargeable battery, but they don’t make controllers or smaller devices feel bulky or unbalanced. Long term, the value is where these really make sense. Being able to recharge them hundreds of times will easily outweigh the initial cost, and it’s far better than constantly throwing away single-use batteries. Overall, reliable, widely compatible, steady brightness output and excellent value for money. These have become my default choice and I wouldn’t go back to disposables now.

These rechargeable batteries usually recharge well and usually discharge smoothly when operating an electrical appliance such as a portable radio. I have had only one of these batteries which eventually began to fail. Progressively it became harder and harder to give this battery a full charge so when in service it could not last as long as the other batteries I was using in a set of four to run my Sony DAB/FM portable radio. In the end I had to stop using this individual battery. In all fairness, this battery did perform properly at the start and it took (maybe) 2 years before it started to struggle. So, the factory would not be able to tell that this particular battery would expire sooner than expected. When items are made in batches at express speed, occasionally this may happen. It would not be justified to condemn the manufacturer. I am happy to continue buying this item.

The Amazon Basics 16 Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, have been a dependable choice for us so far. In terms of performance, they have done exactly what we need them to do. They arrived pre charged, charged up again without issue, and have successfully held their charge through repeated use. We have recharged them many times, and they continue to perform consistently. For everyday household devices like remotes, wireless accessories, and small electronics, they have been reliable and durable. Compared to many other well known brands, the pricing is better. Right now, this set works out to roughly 1 € per battery, which is not unreasonable for 2400 mAh rechargeables. I still feel they sit about 15 to 20 percent higher than they ideally should. Sustainable products often appeal to people who care about reducing waste, though the upfront cost can be a real barrier for many households. More competitive pricing would make it easier for families to justify switching from disposable batteries, even if the long term savings are clear. Build quality feels solid, and we have not experienced early failures or noticeable degradation beyond what you would normally expect over time. The 2400 mAh capacity is strong for higher drain devices, and they have handled regular use well. Overall, these are dependable rechargeable batteries that perform as advertised. With slightly sharper pricing, they would be an even stronger value. As it stands, I would still buy them again if needed.

Amazon excells again. Bought a charger and needed some batteries so went for these. They charge fast and last a decent amount of time. That's it really. Buy Amazon basics if you want cheap well made items.

I bought these rechargeable batteries for one reason: **Christmas lights.** Hours and hours of Christmas lights. Days, even. Weeks, if necessary. I wanted illumination so steady and so relentless that even Santa would squint as he flew over my street. And let me tell you, these batteries DELIVER. The moment I charged them up, I swear I heard a faint choir of angels (possibly my imagination, possibly the fairy lights themselves humming with excitement). I loaded them into my lights and… BOOM. The glow. The shimmer. The sheer *luminosity* of it all. My house didn’t just sparkle, it achieved a level of brightness that could guide ships into harbour. I wrapped the first set around my little red-berry-bearing tree. Hours passed. Still glowing. Night turned into morning. Still glowing. Neighbourhood dogs barked at the suspiciously constant light. STILL. GLOWING. Then I used them for the fairy lights on my door cover. Same story. Hours and hours of uninterrupted festive brilliance. Meanwhile, my neighbours frantically battled with plug sockets, overloaded extension leads, and timers that only seem to work when Mercury is in retrograde. Not me. Oh no. I stroll past my lights like a smug festive wizard, knowing full well that my energy supply is infinite. I have more rechargeable batteries. SO many more. I have become the Christmas equivalent of someone hoarding gold bullion in a bunker. The neighbours keep asking, “How are yours STILL on?” I just smile mysteriously, like I’ve made a deal with the Elf King. But really, it’s these batteries. These beautiful, unstoppable, long-lasting, Christmas-saving batteries. If these things ever go out, it’ll be because I took them out myself, not because they gave up. These batteries don’t give up. They PUSH THROUGH. They WORK OVERTIME. They carry the entire festive season on their tiny cylindrical shoulders. Buy them. Charge them. Illuminate your life like a glorious holiday beacon. **Hours and hours of Christmas lights? Try days**

Fine, quick delivery. Reasonable price

Bought mainly for mini whisk. Dont last long fully charged. My charger charges them to four bars (four lights) I tested them after realising they didnt last as long as they should. I fully charged them to four bars and put them to one side. Unused i checked them 10 hours later and they were back to one bar. So they leak charge rapidly. They work well for probably a couple of hours if you use them straight away, then they may work, but my whisk slows down. Maybe they will hold charge for remote controls well idk. Personally i need to buy better ones now.

Great purchase. Good batteries - did not arrive fully charged but once charged up seem to hold charge well for darker night in outside solar lights. Good value against other pricier brands.

コスパがいいので使えなくなってもなっても気にならない。色々使いまわしてます。

The battery seems okay, but the size for this AA battery, not sure had it got 1mm extra bulk, it seems to not fit normal UM-3 slot. I had to massage it in. Will see.

Ho scelto queste batterie perché avevo bisogno di una soluzione economica e ricaricabile per telecomandi, giocattoli e dispositivi elettronici domestici. Prima impressione Appena tolte dalla confezione, le batterie risultano compatte e ben finite, con scritte chiare che indicano capacità e tensione. Essendo precaricate, sono subito pronte all’uso, il che è comodo per chi non vuole aspettare la prima ricarica. Uso nella vita quotidiana Le utilizzo in telecomandi, mouse wireless e piccoli giocattoli. La durata è buona, e il fatto che possano essere ricaricate fino a 400 volte le rende un investimento conveniente nel tempo. La capacità di 2400 mAh permette di avere prestazioni stabili anche con dispositivi che richiedono corrente moderata. Cosa funziona bene Precaricate e pronte all’uso, comode subito. Alta capacità (2400 mAh) per lunga durata nei dispositivi quotidiani. Ricaricabili fino a 400 volte, molto conveniente nel tempo. Funzionano bene in dispositivi che richiedono corrente costante. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo per una confezione da 8 batterie. Cosa convince meno Non adatte per dispositivi ad alto consumo continuo (come fotocamere professionali o flash), dove durano meno. Richiedono un caricatore NiMH appropriato per ricariche ottimali. Essendo AA, limitate a dispositivi compatibili con questa misura standard. Conclusione Le batterie ricaricabili Amazon Basics AA sono una scelta pratica ed economica per uso domestico, perfette per telecomandi, giocattoli e piccoli apparecchi elettronici. Offrono lunga durata e facilità d’uso, ma non sono ideali per dispositivi ad altissimo consumo.

..., deutlich besser als die meisten, die ein gutes Stück teuerer sind. Eines vorneweg - bei den "Sternchen", die man da setzen sollte, steht ua. auch "Fernbedienung" - ich rate euch dringend, von der Verwendung dieser Akkus ( oder Akkus im Allgemeinen ) in Ferbedienungen, Wetterstationen, Wanduhren und/oder Solarlampen ab. Warum ??? - die werden da drin, schlicht und ergreifend vergessen - und gerade diese Gerätchen, haben keinerlei Akkuüberwachung - wenn da der Akku alle ist, merkt man erst, wenn der "Kram" nicht mehr funktioniert - dann ist es allerdings viel zu spät, für den betreffenden Akku ------ der ist in der Tiefstentladung - und wird sich, mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit, nicht mehr aufladen lassen - der betreffende Akku ist nur noch zum Entsorgen gut. Ansonsten - Die stehen in den Telefonhörern DEUTLICH!!!!!! besser/länger, als die eigentlich dafür entwickelten DECT-Akkus. Ich hab die, als 850mA-AAA ( gleicher Akku - Amazon Basics ) in einem Uralt-Sinus mit vier Hörern, von der Telekom drin - schon eine gute Zeit länger, als die teuer bezahlten DECT-Akkus, von einem bekannten Markenhersteller mit Pa... am Anfang - sogar die ENEL... von denen, die normalerweise, nie länger als ein Jahr "mitgemacht" hatten. Ich kann nur eines sagen - diese Akkus hier sind, auch fürs Telefon, absolut empfehlenswert - und natürlich auch deutlich günstiger, als die "Markenakkus", die nichts taugten. Eines ist sicher - wenn die hier anfangen "den Geist aufzugeben" - sofort die Gleichen wieder - gerade fürs Telefon - die Besten, die ich nach den Originalen, jemals hatte. Muss noch was anhängen, die Rezension mit diesen "Kurvenbildern" betreffend. Der Kunde unterliegt einem Denkfehler, was die Entladung dieser Akkus betrifft - auf den Bilder ist deutlich erkennbar, daß der Entladestrom 2A/2000mA ist - das ist für solche Akkus eindeutig zu hoch, sogar viel zu hoch. Alle Fachbücher sagen - der Ladestrom für Standart NMH/NC-Akkus soll 1.C nicht übersteigen - bedeutet 1/10tel seiner Kpazität als Ladestrom über 10 Stunden - bei jedem 10ten Ladezyklus, wird über 14 Stunden nachgeladen ------------- diese Fachbücher sagen aber auch, der maximale Entladestrom eines Standart Nickel-Akkus soll 2.C, also 2/10tel, nicht übersteigen - und diese hier sind Standart - bedeutet bei einem 2400mA-Akku, nicht mehr als 480mA - der Akku wirds dir nicht danken. Es gibt sog. Hochstromakkus - die sind entladbar bis max. 4.C - wären dann max. 960mA - keinesfalls 2000. Mein ALC8500-Ladegerät, daß auch so schöne Kurven "malt", stelle ich tatsächlich auf die vorgegebenen Werte beim Refreshen ein - und ich hab CONRAD-Hausmarkeakkus, 500mA, die sind gut und gerne 15-20 Jahre alt - die tuns immer noch - und nicht mal schlecht. Lieber Kunde - stell deinen Entladestrom runter - dann hast du länger Freude an deinen Akkus - oder - schau mal in die Bücher - hilft oft. Noch was liebe Leute - JEDER, aber auch tatsächlich JEDER!!!!!!! neue Akku, muss vor der ersten Inbetriebnahme nachgeladen werden - schlicht und ergreifend deshalb - kein Verkäufer kann euch sagen, wie lange der Akku im Regal gelegen hat, bevor er zum Kunden geht - und da ALLE !!! Akkus, mehr oder weniger, einer sog. Selbstentladungsrate unterliegen, kann niemand sagen, wie hoch die tatsächliche Kapazität des Akkus ist - ihr werdet euch, auch einen neuen Akku, ohne Nachladung, garantiert ruinieren - das gleich gillt natürlich/selbstverständlich auch für Geräte mit fest verbautem Akku - aus vorgenannten Gründen ) - und - vorgeladen, wie bei manchen Akkus beschrieben, bedeutet nicht, daß der vollgeladen bei euch ankommt, sondern lediglich, daß der Akku schon einmal geladen war, um seine Funktionsfähigkeit zu testen. Kurz was zum Thema Solarlampen - klar/selbstverständlich sind in Solarlampen Akkus drin, meist sogar Nickel-Akkus ( NC, NMH ) - aber - die haben Kapazitäten nur etwa 400 bis 600mA - einen 2400mA-Akku schafft die kleine Solarzelle nie im Leben, über den Tag vollzuladen - folglich wird immer, Abends, ein teilgeladener Akku in Betrieb genommen - das macht einer von denen hier, wenns gut geht 14Tage bis drei Wochen mit - dann ist Ende - "echte" Solarzellenakkus haben auch einen anderen inneren Aufbau, ähnlich einem DECT-Akku - die "verkraften" Teil-/Tiefentladungen deutlich besser, als zb. die hier - und - in einem Akkupack ( Reihen-/Parallelschaltung ), niemals nur einen einzelnen Akku wechseln - die Alten ziehen den Neuen, wegen des sog. Ladungsausgleichs immer leer - da macht ein Neuer es auch nicht sehr lange ---- wenn, immer alle Akkus wechseln - ist sehr wichtig !!!!!! ...und noch einen Tip - kommt bitte nur nicht auf die Idee, in einem "schnurlosen" Hörer, einfach viel "dickere/grössere" Akkus, als die Originalen reinzutun, nur weil man dann vermeintlich, ja auch länger Telefonieren kann/könnte - die Ladeschalen, für diese "Schnurlosen", sind nur für diese Originalgrösse berechnet - einen "Dicken" schaffen die nicht komplett zu Laden ( die liefern den nötigen Ladestrom einfach nicht - evtl. nach einigen Tagen, dann aber, ohne Telefonat/zu Telefonieren ) ---- 50mA sind da nicht so schlimm - aber, einen zb. 850mA-Akku, gegen einen 2400mA-Akku auszutauschen, wird nur kurzzeitig funktionieren - dann werft ihr diesen 2400mA-Akku auch weg - da seeeeeeeeehr tiefe Tiefentladung - Akku "ermordet" - der tuts nicht einmal mehr, in zb. einer Wanduhr ;-).

I was going through batteries like water for kids toys. These have been great in both AA and AAA. Very easily charged and good life on them once charged. It has saved me a lot compared to constantly buying batteries.
