Duracell Rechargeable AA Batteries (Pack of 8), 2500 mAh NiMH, pre-charged, Our No.1 Longest Lasting Rechargeable Battery

These Duracell brand rechargeable AA batteries have proved reliable through multiple recharges. I use them mostly in Xbox controllers, battery-powered Christmas lights and remote controls. They work well in each of these applications although, as with most rechargeable batteries last somewhat less time than equivalent non-rechargeable alkaline batteries (probably lasting about two-thirds the time of alkaline ones). But being able to use them again and again of course means that there is the potential to save a lot of money. They charge fairly quickly, although some of that performance will be down to the type of charger that you have. Once charged, they do seem to retain that charge very well over time even if not being used which is definitely a good thing when using rechargeable batteries. There are clearly other less well-known brand rechargeable batteries which come in larger quantities for a similar price. So it’s probably a matter of personal preference whether the Duracell brand gives an extra level of assurance. But for reliability, longevity and a known brand I’m very pleased with these.

Great quality and good value for money - Great rechargeable batteries - they charge quickly and the last a long time so they have a very good capacity - Great Name too

Amazing batteries! Easy to charge! Great price! Will definitely buy again!

I’ve been using the Duracell Rechargeable AA batteries for a few weeks in remotes, wireless mice, and a handheld gaming controller. They hold a charge well, and it’s really convenient that they come pre-charged — no waiting around before the first use. They perform reliably for everyday devices and save money over disposable batteries in the long run. The only downside is that in high-drain devices, like my gaming controller or camera, the charge doesn’t last as long as advertised. I’ve had to recharge a bit more often than expected, but for regular use in low-to-medium drain devices, they’re excellent. Overall, these batteries are dependable, eco-friendly, and a solid addition to any household, just manage your expectations if you plan to use them in power-hungry gadgets.

This is my second purchase of these, so I can definitely vouch for them being good quality. We keep them on rotation because my son uses them in his Xbox controller. It means we always have charged batteries on hand and never get caught out mid-game. They hold their charge well and have been really reliable. Happy with them!

These are easily the best rechargeable batteries I've used. The 2500 mAh capacity is no joke—they stay powered for days in my kids' toys and weeks in my wireless mouse. I appreciate that they don't "self-discharge" quickly when sitting in a drawer. They handle many recharge cycles without losing their total capacity. Save yourself the money on disposables and just get these.
