  • Extremely consistent performance, holds more charge than advertised, great value
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
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 lowest Comparing 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. ... show more

  • Good enough. Not the best.
Size: 16 Count (Pack of 1)
These are decent batteries don't get me wrong. But I feel like regular alkaline batteries have either a lower internal resistance or a higher resting voltage or something. Certain kids toys or home sensors I put these in (fully charged), siply don't work as well. Or, they, indicate partial battery life compared to normal batteries. ... show more

  • Just as good as other brands.
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
Review for AA size NiMH rechargeable cells. These are size AA Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries - actually cells, but I am nit-picking now. The cells arrived in good condition considering they were sold as used. They had a manufacture date of February 2024 and since it it now November they definitely needed a top-off charge. A smart charger is strongly recommended, save yourself a headache and don't use a cheapo charger. I use an EBL model EBL-907 smart charger which charges and monitors each cell individually. The charger showed a level of one bar for each cell at the beginning. The batteries, um cells took 2.5 hours to reach full charge and then showed a voltage of 1.45 volts, which is the same as other brands. To conclude, these are just as good as other brands and are a bargain too. ... show more

  • Epic long lasting batteries for game controllers
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I used these with my Xbox one controller playing the IOS version of FF7 (about 2 and a half play throughs) which lasted almost three months before I had to recharge them. I used these with my Xbox 360 controller for about 40 hours to finish up a play through of Fallout 3, then switched to Mass Effect Legendary edition and got through ME1 and about 1/2 the way through ME2 before I had to Recharge. My guess is that it was about 90 hours playtime each time I re charged them. They are AWESOME batteries and definitely lasted longer than both energizer and Duracell disposable AA batteries -great investment! One thing to note though: these AA Amazon rechargeable batteries are slightly thicker around in size than normal disposable AA batteries and they barely fit into the battery pack holder shell of my Xbox 360 controller and that was only after I swapped out the shell for an older one that, for some reason, they fit into. I also have AA Tenergy premium pro rechargeables, which are excellent as well, and they are also kinda thick. They both fit perfectly into my Xbox one controllers but they barely fit into my Xbox 360’s controller back shell. ... show more
