Amazon Pre-charged high capacity AAA NIMH

So I finally went out on a limb and purchased some new AAA nimh LSD cells. I tried Duraloops a number of years back but suffered from short runtimes and frequent dead cells in my L0Dce I EDC'd at the time. Since then I've used brand name alkaline AAA in my edc keychain light, both the L0Dce and now the Stainless Worm from lumintop. Well did some reading the other night, found some posts (including this page) and pulled the trigger on some Amazonbasics pre-charged AAA cells (HR-4UTHA-AMZN). They arrived today and first impression is pretty good. For starters, every cell measured the SAME voltage out of the package at 1.33 (actually 1.325) on my Klein DMM.

Has anybody else tried these? Do they work well?

With the caveat that I'm the local Amazon employee; I'm unable to empirically discern these from Eneloops in any category, and all the threads I've read here [that also reference other threads elsewhere] say the same thing. If you don't feel like waiting for the Sanyos to show up at Costco, these are fine.

Not sure how they are on "own-branded" items, but for batteries I now prefer to get these elsewhere.

Yup, I've recently dived into a bunch of these cells, aa and aaa. As stated above, I'm unable to detect any discernable difference between these and my eneloops.

FWIW, I've also recently had the wife grab me some IKEA rechargeables and they are of equal quality.

I like the Amazon Basics so far 100%

I've been using Amazon Basics NiMH cells for years, with no problems. I can's say for the AA cells, but for the AAA I've got some made in China, and some made in Japan, and they have both performed well for me. I have lithium primaries in a couple lights that might get cold, but other than that, everything that needs an AA or an AAA cell has an Amazon Basic NiMH in it. I figure I have already saved enough to pay for the cells and the charger, so everything from here on in is just gravy.

I wish they would add more AmazonBasics to the .com.au range. We are missing most of it compared to Amazon US, batteries included.

The old Amazon Basics Pre-Charged (AA) had quite less total cycles than for example Eneloop according to: http://aacycler.com/battery/aa/

Not sure how they perform now and how AA performance translates to AAA performance, also the total cycles says nothing about shelf-life.

I have almost 30 of these for my Grandson's toys and so far they've held up pretty well compared to Eneloops.

The original post talks about these - Amazon Precharged High Capacity AAAs. Yes, they have lower cycle count, similar to to Panasonic Eneloop Pro AAA.

Yes, AmazonBasics have standard and "high-capacity" rechargeable versions, and this thread has discussed both.
