EBL Rechargeable AAA Batteries (16-Counts) Ready2Charge 1100mAh Ni-MH BatteryClimatePartner certified

Love these so far. Some reviewers have noticed that EBL batteries aren't demonstrating LSD performance. LSD (low-self discharge) is very important if you put batteries in a flashlight, laser sight, or survival radio and need to forget about it for 3-5 years and still expect the batteries to have the majority of battery life remaining when you need to use the device.On my Sartorius 1574 scientific scale with .01g accuracy I get the following battery weights:EBL AAA 1100 mAh Nimh batteries weigh 13.49gAmazon Basics 800 mAh Black "made in Japan" AAA 11.48gEneloop AAA (placeholder haven't weighed these yet)We have 7 and 9 year old boys. We have a house full of R/C cars, transmitters, Rokenbok, trains, toys and flashlights, walky-talkies and other devices. Our batteries get recharged after every use (remote control cars) typically because most things we use them in are high drain, and rarely sit in the battery box waiting to be used very long. While we also use rechargeable batteries in our wireless Mac keyboard and mouse, as well as all the remote controls. Honestly, LSD is just not a relevant feature and reviews like the one from NLee the Engineer going so far as saying EBL batteries are deceptive marketing just aren't relevant to us. At all. We want rechargeable batteries that can be recharged bunches of times with good capacity.With rechargeable batteries they are engineered as a compromise and balance of:Capacity (how many mAh minimum and typical)Cycles (# of times the batteries can be recharged)Self-Discharge Rate (loss of mAh as batteries sit longer as a function of time)You can purchase batteries that are exceptional in any one aspect. Eneloop Pros are a great battery if you need max mAh capacity and are willing to have batteries that only promise about 500 charge cycles before failure. These work great in cameras to say take pictures over a whole hour and half soccer game, but you'll be throwing them away sooner. You get Batteries like the Eneloop (or Amazon Basics Black "made in Japan" ) with exceptional LSD characteristics that are great if you need rechargeable batteries that will be there when you need them (survival flashlight) after several years. LSD characteristic is a function of what percentage of the mAh rating is available after the battery has sat on a shelf or unused in a device for so many months/years. However, both Eneloop regular and Amazon Basics Black ("made in Japan) have lower capacity (mAh) as a tradeoff compared to EBL or Eneloop Pro. They do offer more recharge cycles than Eneloop Pro and better LSD or charged "shelf life" than EBL. If you want great rechargeable AAA batteries with exceptional capacity (even above the 1100 mAh rating) and exceptional number of recharge cycles you can't beat EBL for the price.Eneloops sell 8-pack for $17.86 or $2.23 each (2100 recharges, 70% charge after 10 years, 800 mAh, 750 mAh minimum)Amazon Basics sell for $11.99 or $1.49 each (over 1000 recharges, 800 mAh, 750 mAh minimum)EBLs sell 16-pack for $16.99 or $1.06 each (1200 recharges, 1100 mAh, claims 75% charge after 3 years)Again the disputed LSD characteristics of rechargeable batteries have zero value to our family. We want good value, a high number of recharge cycles and good battery capacity. Our favorite batteries right now are EBL, our second favorites are Amazon Basics (only the Black "made in Japan"), and our 3rd favorites are Eneloop. We like Tenergy too. At less than half the price of Panasonic Eneloops and HIGHER capacities we've been choosing EBL, lately. For our needs and we don't need LSD "shelf life" as we typically put freshly charged batteries in anything that needs batteries, and for the price, we don't even consider paying a premium for Eneloop anymore, and the Black Amazon Basics "made in Japan" are lower in capacity and higher in price.Remember, you can have great Capacity, Cycles, or LSD characteristics but not a Good combination of two of the three, and certainly not a Good combination of all three. The higher the capacity of the battery (mAh), typically the fewer the number of recharge cycles. Eneloop Pros can only be charged 1/4 as many times a normal Eneloops. The better the LSD (low-self discharge) rate, typically you have to sacrifice either recharge cycles or capacity, usually both. The higher the number or recharge cycles, typically you are getting less capacity and diminished LSD performance. Pick what's important to you.Do the AA batteries in our Mac wireless keyboard run out sooner using EBL batteries (that have higher capacity) but lower LSD "shelf life" I honestly don't know. Who counts keystrokes? We don't pay attention to whether its been three weeks or seven weeks when we replace the AA batteries in our Mac wireless mouse or keyboard. We absolutely LOVE the EBL batteries because they meet our needs:They have the best capacity (mAh) compared to Eneloops and Amazon Basics (Black "made in Japan")They are sold at the best price pointThey can be recharged (cycles) either as often as the Eneloops or the Amazon BasicsWith two young boys under 10 years old we use three different Panasonic Eneloop smart chargers and an EBL multi-cell smart charger to keep our rechargeable D-Cell, AA and AAA batteries (EBL, Tenergy, Amazon Basics (Black "made in Japan") charged. Running R/C cars or Rokenbok we can blow through a ton of batteries in an afternoon, and we don't want to wait to just charge batteries 4 at a time (a small R/C car an transmitter can use x2 AAA batteries in the transmitter and X3 in the car). Our batteries are typically left in things like TV remotes, or wireless mouse and keyboard for the Mac for months. When batteries get low we recharge them. We prioritize recharge cycles and capacity, and pay attention to value. I can't imagine how infinitesimal the "value" of LSD battery functionality would be for our family for our usage. What would be the "value" of LSD batteries at a trade-off of fewer recharge cycles over the battery lifespan or lower capacity (mAh)? Lasting another couple of hours or another day in the Mac mouse or keyboard?All things being equal (like price) we'd always buy Eneloops. However, pricepoints aren't the same, and when we need more batteries we are finding ourselves recognizing the exceptional value of EBL batteries and ordering more EBLs every time. The only batteries we like, price considered, on par with EBL batteries are Tenergy.PAY ATTENTION TO EBL CAPACITY RATINGSEBL makes batteries in different mAh ratings in both AA and AAA. With the higher capacity (mAh rating) you get longer lasting batteries per use (just like Eneloop Pro batteries) but you also get fewer recharge cycles (just like the difference between Eneloop Pro and Eneloop batteries). Pick the EBL batteries that give you the best combination of maximum number of recharge cycles with good capacity (mAh). If you choose the max capacity (mAh) EBL cells for that battery size, AA or AAA you're essentially buying Eneloop Pro batteries. High performance batteries with exceptional capacity, with fewer recharge cycles before battery failure. The best compromise to find that "regular" Eneloop best of both worlds is to make sure you never buy the max capacity EBL cells in a given size. Same with Tenergy blues vs Tenergy Premiums. Same as Eneloop Pro vs Eneloop.My two cents.

I have ordered these batteries for the past 3-4 years, both AA & AAA! 🥰 I am very satisfied with the quality and features of these batteries.I have even gifted my grandchildren with both size batteries and the charger as well!😌Saves money and time and they hold a charge for the longest! I will continue to order and refer friends and family for this quality product!😌💖

Arrived when you said they would. They were in good condition. haven't used Them yet as they are in my NOAA radio and hope I do not have to use them. According to the website, they have good percentage of power after several years and I can always charge them in my radiooo.

I purchased the batteries to evaluate for comparison with other brands. All were well charged as received. I peak charged them and did a light discharge. I received readouts of less than 800 ma. Which brings the question; what discharge rations does the manufacture use to get their ratings.

**** revised at bottom ****I'm concerned. I've ordered and received maybe 80 of these batteries. I originally got some batteries and the 8-Bay charger. I liked them enough to order more and get the 12-bay charger. But after a couple of charge cycles, I'm not happy. 4 of the AAA batteries won't charge at all. When the first one died, I didn't think anything and threw it away. Bad luck. But now 3 more of the AAAs are dead. So far, none of the AAs have died, but I don't use those much, and haven't really put them to a test. I'm primarily using these for a popular small LED "puck" light that is sold by Costco.Several days ago, I used the "contact us" form on the EBL website and haven't heard a thing. I hope these things don't keep dying, as I spent plenty of $$$ trying to avoid buying alkaline batteries.****EBL contacted me based on the poor review and graciously agreed to replace the defective batteries. Thank you.What I've subsequently found out, by myself, was the batteries were not defective, just discharged too low. For the most part, the batteries were being used in LED puck lights, sold by Costco, that are remote controlled. Because they are always drawing a tiny bit of current for the remote control, the batteries discharge over a period of time. If allowed to totally drain, the EBL charger would not charge them, and they appeared dead. I've found that this behavior is quite common, and it's best if rechargeable batteries are not allowed to totally discharge. Of course, you are normally made aware that a battery needs recharging by the fact that your device doesn't work. What's the chance you caught each battery when it was "just about dead"? THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY REVIVE THESE BATTERIES, AND BRING THEM BACK FROM THE GRAVE. The trick is to manually give the dead battery a tiny charge, just so it isn't at zero volts. Then, the charger will will welcome the "dead" battery and charge it normally. HOW? Take a good batteryand touch the + end to the + end of the apparent dead battery. Also connect the - ends together with a short wire. After about 30 Seconds, the dead battery will have enough charge to be recognized by the charger and can now be charged and used normally. I've read that, on really bad batteries, it might take two 30-second treatments. If you ask me, the "smart" chargers should do this little trick themselves!

This is my second time buying EBL batteries and they never disappoint. The power lasts a long time, and they work great in all my devices. I especially like that they hold a charge even after sitting for a while. Solid build, eco-friendly, and super reliable.

These are amazing rechargeable AAA batteries! They are very easy to remove from the case and charge with my universal charger. They are quite durable, and have not corroded after more than a year. They hold their charge for a long time and recharge very quickly. They are infinitely rechargeable and thus infinitely reusable. They work in all of my battery operated devices. They have saved me a great deal of money that I was previously wasting on single use batteries. They are a very good value for the money. I highly recommend them!
