Amazon Basics 4-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, 1.2V, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged

I’ve been genuinely impressed with Amazon Basics AA and AAA batteries. They deliver consistently strong, reliable power across everything I’ve used them in — from TV remotes and wireless keyboards to game controllers, smart home sensors, and kids’ toys. Performance has been comparable to far more expensive branded batteries, with no noticeable drop-off in power or premature failures. What really stands out is their reliability over time. They hold charge well in low-drain devices, don’t leak, and feel dependable even when left installed for months. For everyday household use, they simply work exactly as you’d expect a good battery to work — no fuss, no surprises. The value proposition is exceptional. You get dependable performance at a price that makes sense, especially if you go through batteries regularly. They’re ideal for bulk buying without feeling like you’re compromising on quality. Overall, these are batteries you can buy with confidence. Practical, reliable, and excellent value — Amazon Basics AA and AAA batteries have become my default choice and I see no reason to switch back to more expensive alternatives.

These Amazon Basics rechargeable AA batteries are excellent. I’ve ordered them multiple times now, and they’ve been consistently reliable every time. The 2400 mAh capacity lasts a long time, whether I’m using them in controllers, toys, cameras, or household devices, and they hold their charge well between uses. They recharge quickly, perform just as well as more expensive brands, and have saved me a lot of money over time. I also appreciate the convenience of the 16-pack — it’s great to always have spares ready to go. Overall, these are dependable, high-quality rechargeable batteries at a great price. I’ll definitely continue reordering them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for long-lasting rechargeables.

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.

There's something you can depend on when you buy Amazon Basics. We really love the Basics brand for quality and also the actual price of the items. These Basics batteries last for years, and I've only just got to replace my battery collection from years ago. Rechargeable batteries are so much better for the environment, and I would highly recommend you transition from the throwaway batteries to the rechargeables, as they are much better for the environment.

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.

I shall be buying more of these rechargeable batteries. At present, I'm using them to power outside lights that my wife insists need to be on - despite them being solar powered and there being insufficient sunlight to keep them charged. Fortunately, the lights have removable rechargeable batteries so I'm whacking these AmazonBasics batteries in them every 3-4 days to keep her happy. As any man knows, this is essential if you want to do anything that doesn't involve a constant whining sound in your ears. They charge quickly and they appear to have good life. They probably have a better life than I would if I was to stop placing them in the exterior lights. Come to think of it, such a risk isn't worth taking. I would be safer taking a long walk off a short pier, hang-gliding in the Himalaya's or hitching a ride on the back of Lewis Hamilton's F1 car at 210 mph and asking Pastor Maldonado to return to F1 and try to overtake us without actually hitting us. They're a rather neat grey and lime green colour. If you don't like lime green, tough. I think it is a perfectly nice colour that reflects environmental concern, something that won't be at the top of the list when you come to dispose of any battery in this day and age. Your local council will probably insist you place the batteries in a silly bag in order for them to take them, so you'll inevitably just throw them into the general waste bin. Woody Woodpecker - whatever happened to him? I miss him. But I digress... I wasn't sure about buying these batteries and almost opted for another brand (a better known brand where batteries are concerned). However, I then realised that I was probably going to do little but subsidise their next ridiculous "Bunny Rabbit" advertisement on TV and I couldn't live with the thought of that. The thing is, I've nothing against that bunny but it is wearing a bit thin now. How many times can you advertise batteries with a toy bunny and keep the interest of people? A year? 3 years? But 15-20 years? It must have been on TV that long now? Everyone knows a normal bunny would have long since died, popped its clogs and gone to bunny heaven. Don't try using these batteries to power your Tesla. They're unlikely to work. For everything else, they do the job. Stop wasting your time reading this and get them bought. Before you do, spare a thought for Woody Woodpecker. He's probably redundant, or even dead.

I have a wiser home system where every radiator TRV is individually programmable by app. Excellent product, saving many £££'s on heating. They each individually monitor room temperature and if it drops below the setting allocated, open the valve via a small motor. I could go on about the schedules etc.... this is not a Wiser product review. The thing is each of the 12 units takes two AA's. A "Normal" AA lasts about a year before needing to be replaced. However, wanting to ramp up the eco benefit I did a lot of research and finally landed on this Amazon rechargeable. I'm very disappointed that a fully charged set registers only 20%-40% when put in the device and then needs changing in about a month. The hassle of regular change and seeing the red blinking lights around the house is very triggering. Additionally, leaving the house empty in winter for weeks is now an excessive stress. I guess the 1.2v rating is just not good enough for these devices expecting 1.5v. I'm sure these rechargeable batteries are good for other purposes, but not this purpose. As a result, I'm having to buy a large pack of disposables to rectify the matter. Lesson learned, money wasted due to length of time from purchase. Very disappointed.

Seem very good batteries, better than the Chinese one's and a good price too 😁👍

These 1.5 year-old cells behave about the same as the 3.5 year old ones I have been using since 2024. They seem to hold charge and work OK--have not tested capacity. Noted that their Amazon Basics 4-bay charger is a poor indicator of full cell charge--it will charge 4 cells at 1.5 Watts per cell for about 15 minutes before shutting off, even after they have just been fully charged and re-inserted into the charger...

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.

一流メーカーじゃなくても充分です。何十年もずっとAmazonの充電式電池を使ってきました。 1度も不具合等ありません。コスパ良くこれで満足しています。

..., 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.
