From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics Review: > DOES THE JOB - MY EXPERIENCE I use AAAs mostly for my MP3 players. 4GB USB 2.0 Mp3 Music Player with Fm Radio Function Voice Recorder Red . My wife began complaining that our rechargeables (several brands, most more than 5 years old) didn't seem to be delivering as much playing times they used to. So I purchased 4 desertcart NiMH rechargeables---which are said to be repackaged Sony Eneloops, which are generally acknowledged to be the best consumer NiMHs available. CAPACITY Honestly, I have not noticed any difference in how long the new desertcart NiMH batteries lasted compared to my old NiMH batteries. That means that there COULD have been a difference of up to ~20%. But then, I have a better charger than most users---see below. HOLDING CHARGE In actual practice (not charts of test results) most rechargeable loose about 1/2% of their charge per day, or more, so fully charged batteries are nearly empty after 3 months, or less, even if unused. The great (hypothetical) advantage of these desertcart batteries (Eneloops, and other advanced NiMH batteries] is that (theoretically) they hold their charge for years (when stored in optimal conditions), making them practical (but generally not cost-effective) in light-demand applications such as wall clocks or TV remote controls. In actual practice, even these batteries loose their charge much quicker when actually installed in equipment, depending on the type of equipment. My MP3 player is so "leaky" that fresh batteries are dead in about 3 weeks, even if the player isn't used---in which case desertcart/Eneloops wouldn't make any difference. CONCLUSION While I doubt that these batteries live up to their hype in actual use, I have no doubt that they are the best choice among AA/AAA consumer rechargeable batteries. PACKAGING The packaging is a nice 3" X 5" X 1" cardboard box, the batteries in the box are shrink-wrapped together. Honestly, I would have preferred a small cardboard box the size of 4 batteries which could be used for storage, particularly when traveling, since I only use one battery at a time. RECHARGING I strongly recommend Sony BCG34HRE4KN Cycle Energy Quick with Refresh Charger and 4 Pre-Charged 2000 mAh AA Batteries (Discontinued by Manufacturer) . Yes, the Sony costs 2-3X as much as an average dumb charger, and has been discontinued, but is still available, and apparently Sony has no replacement model. Actually, at $33, the Sony is probably the cheapest truly smart charger you can buy. Minus $8-$10 for the included batteries, the Sony charger is, in effect, $20-$25. The next cheapest smart charger I know of is $45 without any batteries. Caution, cheaper Sony chargers which look almost identical are NOT smart. Most chargers are dumb and just charge a preset amount of time--usually 8 hours. They either undercharge or overcharge your batteries. (That is, they overcharge partially charged or low capacity batteries, and undercharge empty high capacity batteries). Overcharging damages batteries. Undercharging causes permanent loss of capacity. You also have to charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time---you can't charge 1 or 3, nor mix AAAs and AAs (except in pairs). The desertcart Basics charger is a nice little charger international travel, but IS NOT SMART. The SONY CYCLE CHARGER monitors your batteries as it charges. If a battery only needs to be topped off--the charger ONLY tops it off, often in just a few minutes. If your batteries need a full charge, they get it, regardless of their capacity, AND as fast as your batteries can accept the charge--usually just a few hours. You can charge ANY number of batteries at a time, including just one, and ANY combination of AAAs and AAs. If a battery dies on you while the SONY is in already in use--no problem, just insert the battery in a free slot and it will be properly charged. The SONY has a "refresh" function which (optionally) fully drains the batteries before recharging---which typically restores lost capacity. Using the "refresh and charge" cycle several times, I've resurrected a half-dozen nearly"dead" NiMHs (which I had just thrown in a drawer). I believe that this charger is why my 5-year old batteries have the same (or nearly the same) capacity as the new desertcart NiMH batteries. HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A CHARGER IS SMART OR NOT If it cost less than $20 (not including any batteries), it is NOT a smart charger. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question. Review: Still Working Well After Almost a Year - I have used these batteries for almost one year, and they still hold a good amount of power without noticeable decline. I use them in my wireless mouse, and I really like that they are rechargeable because it feels more environmentally friendly than using disposable batteries. The charger is also very convenient because it can charge both AA and AAA batteries, so it is useful for many different devices at home. Overall, these batteries work well and are a good value. ## Features - RELIABLE PERFORMANCE: 12-pack of AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries (800 mAh) - DEVICE COMPATIBLE: Ideal for digital cameras, remote controls, toys, and more - LONG LASTING: Can be recharged up to 1000 times with minimal power loss - LOW SELF DISCHARGE: Maintains 80% capacity for 12 months - EASY USE & STORAGE: Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging - NOTE: Same product, new look; appearance of batteries received may vary - NOTE: To avoid damage or undesired rapid discharge of the batteries, DO NOT MIX: non-rechargeable with rechargeable batteries; fully-charged with mid- to low-charged batteries; new with old batteries; different mAh capacities; different brands. - Ni-MH Battery Tips: Verify device compatibility with 1.2V Ni-MH batteries. Runtime may be shorter than 1.5V alkaline batteries. Check proper fit as Ni-MH batteries are slightly larger than alkaline batteries to comply with IEC standards. Replace all batteries simultaneously and consult the device manual for specific requirements. - Charger Tips: Use only Ni-MH specific chargers with independent charging channels and voltage monitoring to prevent overcharging or undercharging. Avoid timer-only chargers and never use chargers designed for other battery types (like NiZn or Li-ion), as this may cause damage or leakage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007B9NXAC | | Antenna Location | Camera | | Battery Capacity | 800 milliamp_hours | | Battery Cell Composition | NiMH | | Battery Cell Type | NiMH | | Best Sellers Rank | #225 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #11 in AAA Batteries | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 226,363 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 0.4 x 0.4 x 1.74 inches | | Item Weight | 5.28 ounces | | Manufacturer | Amazon, this product may originate from China or Malaysia | | Model Name | Rechargeable batteries | | Model Number | 85AAAHCB | | Number of Batteries | 12 AAA batteries required. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camera | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 840095888677 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | | Voltage | 1.2 volts | | Warranty Description | 1 Year warranty | ## Product Details - **Battery Capacity:** 800 milliamp_hours - **Battery Cell Composition:** NiMH - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Number of Batteries:** 12 AAA batteries required. - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camera ## Images ![Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self-Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 1000x Times - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811DQ6pBeLL.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self-Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 1000x Times - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6126RiVnK8L.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self-Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 1000x Times - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Iy3VajWGL.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self-Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 1000x Times - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ylLMvK43L.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 12-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH Batteries, 800 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self-Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 1000x Times - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q6MAN7IjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the AmazonBasics "black" label and "white" label?** A: Amazon keeps switching up the game to keep us guessing. As of 7/20/2019, the black label/green top batteries are definitely made in CHINA not japan (just received some, and I'm sending them back). None of Amazon's descriptions state whether or not either the black, silver, or white batteries are made, so I would assume that they are all Chinese at this point, which implies all of the manufacturing, quality, and supply chain issues Chinese batteries are famous for at this point. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra dollars for eneloop or energizer, etc. **Q: will it be hot if charge it at 1a with eastshine s2 charger?** A: 1a would be .5 C with these 2000mah cells.. I checked the IR of these cells and with my Turbo Matched 30 from Competition Electronics (these are a 1500 dollar cell matching system that we professional RC on road and off road car and truck guys used to match cells. Very important and HIGH TECH for the time system. Was made for Nicd cells but worked equally well on Nimh cells when they came out) and matched them to get well matched pairs for practice cells for Mod Mini Z cars and boats.. I used Enloop cells for race days and practice with these.. these cells give a solid 2050 to 2100mah handle, will give me long run times and with cells matched with a 6 amp discharge will give me a avg voltage of about 1.02v per cell over 25 minutes, my well massaged Eneloop 2kMah cells i match at 8.5 amps they give me a avg May of 1980 to 2020mah and will hold a avg Voltage of 1.06V per cell at 8.5 amp load over 25 minutes. Point is these cells are a very good value, even in high load usage these cells stand up a lot better then similarly priced Nimhs from other brands.. these cells offer 85% the performance of Eneloop at less then half the cost.. the cells hold up well until about 200 cycles then they deff start to have noticablly lower avg voltage over time at the same discharge curve.. but that's in higher load apps then most people will be using them for.. I charge these cells at .75C or 1.5 amps, at 1.5 amps the cells are slightly warm off the charger and that's how I want them, slightly warm when ready to run as the IR will be lower with a warm cell over a room temp one giving me less voltage sag as the cell warms up under load... These cells will be slightly above ambient temp of charged at .5C or 1 amp, the warmth will start to happen once the cell reaches about 90^% full charge and progressively get warmer until peak charge.. at .75C charge or 1.5 amps you will notice the cells are a fair bit warmer then ambient temp and this has it's use for high load apps like my Mini Z's and some times I'll even charge them at 1C or 2 amps.. that will make for a fairly hot pack BUT will give me the highest voltage under load for the first 25 to 30% of the charge... but will ABSOLUTELY shorten the cells life and I would not recommend doing that UNLESS you know what you are doing to the cell and understand the cells life will be cut by good bit.. meaning if I get 200 really good cycles on a set of cells when charging them at .75C or 1.5 amps, moving to a 1C or 2 amp charge will know it's really good cycles life down to 100 to 125... but you will have less voltage sag/higher voltage under load taking the very warm cells off the charger and straight to using them then if you was to charge them at a lower rate and have cooler cells... Charge at 1 amp and you will be happy with these cells .5C and under will give you the longest cell life for sure.. **Q: What is the difference between these white batteries, versus the standard black ones?** A: Yeah not sure if color indicates anything anymore as I think Amazon just keeps changing it up. I have a set of AA batteries that are mostly gray in color with a touch of green close to the positive side of the battery. The positive terminal itself is black. Those were made in Japan. Just ordered some new ones and they are mostly green in color with a touch of gray on both ends of the battery. The positive terminal on these ones are white. They're made in Malaysia. **Q: is there a so called memory effect?** A: "Memory effect" is commonly used to describe the drop in capacity in NiCd cells due to shallow discharge cycles. It does not apply to NiMH cells, especially not to low-self-discharge ('Pre-Charged') NiMH cells.In real life both NiCd and NiMH cells often drop in capacity with time, but mostly due to over-charging or over-discharging, not due to 'memory effect'. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ > DOES THE JOB *by S***Y on March 27, 2014* MY EXPERIENCE I use AAAs mostly for my MP3 players. 4GB USB 2.0 Mp3 Music Player with Fm Radio Function Voice Recorder Red .
