Title: Rechargeable
Review: Got sick of buying disposable batteries, so I got these. Physical size is a little inconsistent, so they get stuck in some flashlights, but they fit well in my Xbox controller.

Title: Extremely consistent performance, holds more charge than advertised, great value
Review: I recently purchased EBL's 2500 AA NiMH batteries (ASIN B08XP7ZC8K) because they were less expensive, advertised 2500mAh capacity, and were 30% less expensive (as of May 2024), and I liked the colors. Since it seemed a little too good to be true, I decided to thoroughly test and compare the brands. The data is worth sharing.Testing Methodology: All tests were performed with an ISDT N16 charger. It is an intelligent charger. Two rounds of testing were performed at three charge rates: 0.5A, 1.0A, 1.5A. The NiMH charging strategy starts with a lower voltage and increases the voltage over time and considers temperature as it charges, up to the set charge rate. "Activation Charge" for NiMH cells was enabled, which drains the battery first, then performs a full charge. This should result in a consistent charge pattern (no partial charges) and level the playing field as discharging was uniform. The charted results omit the single worst charge, while the table includes all results. The batteries have not been used in anything other than the ISDT N16 charger.Results:* All cells charged to roughly 2574mAh on average, at all charge rates* The product exceeds advertised 2400mAh capacity by 174mAh, on average, at all charge rates.* At a 1.5A charge rate, the charge variation between the least & most charged cells was the greatest* At a 0.5A charge rate, the variation was the lowestComparing this to EBL's offering, Amazon's 2400mAh battery had a tendency to exceed the stated design capacity, which I've observed as between 2562-2580mAh on average and as high as 2848mAh. This, from the same charger, at the same charge rates, and with the "activation" option enabled.Cost comparison (as of May 2024) highlights some interesting data:* AZ 2400 12-pk @ $21.79 - $1.82/cell - @2574mAh realized capacity = 0.07 cents per 100mAh* EBL 2500 12-pk - $15.28 - $1.27/cell - @2100mAh realized capacity = 0.06 cents per 100mAh* Capacity as deciding factor: Amazon "wins" as they hold 18% more charge, but initial purchase cost is 30% more than EBL. When considering cost per cell's capacity, the difference is negligible and both brands stand on equal footing. Amazon's brand charges more consistently, holds more charge/out-performs their stated specification, and has more consistent voltage at rest.* Cost as deciding factor: EBL "wins" on price as the initial purchase cost is less expensive than Amazon by 30%. However, EBL's cells hold 18% less charge than Amazon and fall short of charging to EBL's stated capacity by 16%. If EBL's cells charged more consistently and could be fully charged to capacity, they would easily represent the better overall value.* Charging: EBLs perform better at a higher 1.5A charge rate and also charge more quickly. Amazon's batteries perform better at a 0.5A charge rate which takes longer. However, Amazon's variability at 1.5A charging (360mAh variance) is only *slightly* worse than the best EBL 1.5A result (324mAh variance). EBL's variance at 0.5A charge rate is 644mAh, which is 2.25x worse than Amazon at 287mAh variance. Amazon's product performance is consistently consistent.

Title: Better than the basic black capped variant
Review: But the plastic white ring on the positive end tends to come off when charging. Doesn't seem to effect the performance but it makes it feel lower quality physically than the basics.Just as wide as the normal rechargeables, so old decorations with narrow housing may end up getting these stuck. Keep that in mind before committing to pushing them all in if it feels that way.

Title: Good value and last long
Review: Batteris work well and are priced well. I normally buy a more expensive brand for my photography flashes but for household items these work well.

Title: GOOD PRICE!
Review: Very well boxed/sealed. I have never had a problem with purchasing different brands of recyclable batteries from Amazon. I will change rating if I find these do not perform as well. All of the other ones I purchased over the last 5 years are still going strong via my battery charger.I put 2 of these in my TV remote directly out of box. *photo 2) Only 2 green bars showed capacity. I decided to put them in my charger. Light went from red to green in appx. 1.5 hours. I put them back into remote and green bars on TV showed 4 bars! (photo 3)Just a reminder. Even though they are charged before packing at factory, they will lose some power before they are finally sold and shipped to you. To get FULL power the 1st time, I would suggest you charge them again.

They are long lasting, recharge quickly and retain the charge for a lengthy amount of time,Amazon Basics 16-Count Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries, 2000 mAh, Recharge up to 1000x Times and come to you Pre-Charged. At first I ordered the 16-count package, but kept finding so many uses that I quickly ordered another package and shared with my grandchildren! These batteries are one of the most satisfying purchases I have ever made on Amazon.

Title: Tight or not at all fit in some devices
Review: Like other reviewers had some issues with size and fit which is inconvenient. Would not fit into Kitchen Mama handheld can opener, a couple of other devices were tight but work. Fit fine in most of my wireless mice (Logitech M325). Eneloop/Panasonic BQ-CC17 charger works fine to charge them. Performance seems fine so far. In hindsight would stick with Eneloop to avoid the fit issues.

Review: The Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries are by far the best you can get for your money. I have been using these for years and still haven't needed to replace any. I only buy more when I have more things to power!The batteries hold their charge extremely long in low powered devices like remote controls and have lasted me over a year in a motion sensor. I've had them in my Guitar Hero and Rock Band instruments for a long time between recharges as well.I've used them in multiple brands of chargers without issues as well.Highly recommend if you want to get out of disposables!
