The Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries are sort of a weird product. As a rechargeable battery they're actually quite bad. I've had a pretty high number of these die over the years, especially the AAA.
So why am I picking up another pack? Well at this price, $0.67 a battery, these rechargeables are similar in price to an energizer or duracell single use alkaline.
I have twin toddlers, and we have lots of little toys that abuse batteries, getting left on totally discharging the battery, getting left outside etc. I rather put these cheap Amazon rechargeable batteries in their toys than proper enerloops that cost 3 times the price. I'd also rather use these than a $.50 duracell which they can kill in a day by not turning off their toys.
At $0.67, if I recharge the batteries 10 times before my kids kill them, I will consider that a decent success.
So in summary, these Amazon Basics Rechargeable batteries are not quality batteries, and are inferior to a quality eneloop. If you are planning to use batteries for years upon end, this is not the battery you're looking for. However if your use case is to use and abuse AAA batteries, and don't expect these to last years upon years and 100s of charges, then at $.67 a battery these may be good for you.
