Amazon Basics 8-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.

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.

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.

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

Considering the price these are very good. Our little boy has a huge collection of battery powered toys and it soon became apparent once he grew out of playing with random household items that batteries would be very expensive, and you need LOTS of them to put in all his cars, trains, dinosaurs (It seems very few toys don't have batteries and relatives don't consider this burden when buying toys!) So, I have been regularly buying packs of these for a couple of years now, I think it is fair to say they aren't "fully" charged when new, but do have enough charge to use right away if you have an impatiend kid waiting to fire up a toy.... ...I just top up the charge as soon as they arrive, and have enough so there are always a few AA / AAA charged and ready to go in the "man draw" at any time. I think they do lose charge whilst sat, but not that quickly. I suspect they more than pay for themselves over time, and even more quickly when you have kids forgetting to turn things off, which when you are buying normal batteries is very annoying to have a premium copper topped battery drained overnight.

Good quality and good price.

Somehow this batch that I bought doesn’t last long. For the devices that I use them for, some lasted 2-3 months, but some only lasted 1 month repeatedly.

At this high capacity value for money at its best

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.

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.

Great product at a descent price. Hold their charge well. Tight squeeze in some products

très bien

充電式ニッケル電池はずっとパナ◯ニックを使っていましたが、最近とても価格が上がって買えなくなりました。試しにこちらの製品を購入しましたが、パ◯製品と何ら遜色ありません。若干出力電圧が低いようですが、実用的には全く問題ありません。今後は随時切り替えます。
