Overview

A household replacing disposable AA cells can swap in these NiMH rechargeables instead. They arrive pre-charged and hold their charge in storage thanks to a low self discharge design.

Reusing the same eight cells many times reduces the stream of disposables for everyday gear. The listing names remote controls, flashlights and clocks.

Who it's for

Families and offices that want to cut down on disposable cells. Standard capacity suits low and moderate drain devices. Heavy users wanting maximum run time should compare higher capacity cells.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pre-charged and ready to use
  • Low self discharge
  • Many recharge cycles stated
  • Common AA size
Cons
  • Charger not included
  • Standard capacity only
  • Lower voltage than alkaline cells

Performance notes

NiMH cells deliver a flat voltage until nearly empty, which suits devices that cut off at a set level. Low self discharge limits loss while idle, so spare cells stay usable. Real cycle life depends on the charger and how deeply you drain them.
