20 Best Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries (2023 Updated)

I STARTED USING THESE BATTERIES A PRETTY LONG TIME AGO AND THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY ARE NOW. THIS COMPANY HAS IMPROVED THEIR QUALITY TRMENDOUSLY OVER THE YEARS. NOW I DO NOT TRY ANY OTHER BATTERIES ANY MORE.

THE BEST THING ABOUT THESE RECHARGABLE BATTERIES, IS THAT THEY DO NOT CORRODE YOUR DEVICE WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR CHARGE LIKE REGULAR BATTERIES DO. I JUST TOSS THE BATTERIIES THT COEM WITH A DEVICE AND UT THESE IN IT TO INSURE THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CORROSION FROM A LEAKING BATTERY.

There are many hit and misses online when you want to buy an affordable rechargeable battery. You can always buy the big brands but theyre expensive and sometimes you can get duds as well. But after few tries, Ive found this brand and ordered AA and AAA packs before.

I like its reliability and longevity. They are worth buying.

I love this product. I can make me a, “Going Out Tooth”, in about 5 minutes or less. If some ol’ gurl is with me, I eat with’em in my face. The next morning, I roll over in bed and say,”Suprise biautch! Looky there! I can floss with a rope” She usually leaves muttering something about never drinking Tequila, again.

Mission accomplished.

I really needed some rechargeable AAA batteries for my firetv remote because for some reason the remote drains my batteries really quickly. I thought I’d try these Energizer rechargeable batteries to see if they would last longer in the remote.

They supposedly come precharged, but I charged mine out of the pack. It took the batteries 5 1/2 hours to fully charge in my Sanyo charger. I’ve been using the batteries for almost a month and I haven’t noticed any decrease in power, my remote is still going strong.

The only con I can see is that they are more expensive then alkaline batteries, but I think the cost is worth it. You can keep recharging these up to 500 times so I feel in the long run you will actually save money.

They are easy to charge, doesn’t take too long and can hold a charge for up to a year in storage. I will have to buy another set so when these need charging I can just pop in another set. I have to say these are great batteries for me and last longer than the traditional alkaline batteries.

I was finally fed up with buying batteries after batteries (which keep costing more and more) and then having to throw away all that money when the batteries die. I have been buying a pack or two of the rechargeable batteries each month and am building up my stock pile.

In my experience the rechargeable batteries last just as long as regular batteries and you don’t have to throw them away when their power goes down,. instead you get to recharge them and they are just like new batteries when you use them again, again, again, and again! With the cost of food and everything else going up and up, I feel that paying a little more ONE TIME for 4 rechargeable batteries is really cost saving, because in the end you are paying more to keep replacing any regular 4 batteries.

I really do recommend the rechargeable batteries. Plus you only have to purchase the recharger station one time, and you get to reuse the rechargeable batteries over and over.

1. 2v, Ni-Mh, 800MaH rechargeable batteries. I purchased these batteries for remotes, flashlights, and a clothing pill shaver. Really cheap, generic batteries do not have enough long term current for the clothing pill shaver or other high drain devices and repeatedly buying high quality batteries can get expensive quick.

These work well and can be recharged up to 500 times. They also do not seem to have any memory effect and came pre-charged. I have a multi-charger for Lithium-Ion, Ni-Cad, and Ni-Mh batteries and these recharge in it with no problems.

These are the AAA versions but I have also used the AA as replacements in my mothers cordless phone and they worked flawlessly there as well.

I love these rechargeable batteries!! You will save so much money just by recharging your batteries. You can get a kit that comes with a device that allows you to recharge your batteries and it comes with 2 AA 2 AAA batteries for less than ten bucks at Walmart.

Once you get the recharging device you can buy bigger sets of batteries which will save you money! You can put these in almost anything. I will say that rechargeable batteries don’t work well with my wrist blood pressure monitor.

Rechargeable batteries are 1. 2 volts instead of 1. 5 and the BP monitor needs alot of juice. But cameras, flashlights, remote controls, gaming remotes, toys, etc all work great! Always make sure to run down your 🔋 so you can have a full charge because the batteries remember and you want them to remember a full % of juice not half.

So let them run down as far as possible like leaving a flashlight on till it is out of juice. They will last so long if you do this. I’ve kept the same ones for over 10 years!!.

I bought the charger and about 20 additional batteries. The batteries started failing after only a couple of months. One does not charge at all, several take 24 hours to charge and some take 2 days. This is not what is stated on the packaging and they are supposed to be guaranteed for 5 YEARS! However, I got no help from Rayovac.

I sent photographs of the batteries, sent the code numbers they requested, and the country where made. They said that they would send a $10 coupon but would do nothing more. So forget about the 5 year guarantee.

Walmart would only refund me the charger but not additional batteries. So Im stuck with a lousy product and if Rayovac ever send the coupon, I can pick up another package of their lousy batteries. There’s a reason why I buy most products through Amazon – because their customer service is outstanding.

I will purchase my next charger and batteries through Amazon!.

We received our AA rechargeable batteries from Wal-Mart. They were a great price. Rechargeables can sometimes be harder to find. We are glad that Wal-Mart carries them. You can recharge them over and over again.

I have some from four years ago that I am still recharging. It is a great buy. If you have flameless candles buy these. Have a great day.

These are excellent batteries for demanding uses. The 2600 mAh means it puts out lots of power. But it might not be the best battery for solar applications because a little solar charger might not have what it takes to get the recharging job done.

Also, a battery with a slightly less mAh rating might be a good fit if the batteries are going to sit. They are usually shown as having a low discharge rate in storage. But if you are looking to power electric candles or anything where the idea is to charge them up, work them hard, and then start over.

Well then these are what you want.

These batteries seem to actually be advertised with accurate mAh capacity ratings. I’ve had some of these cells for more than a year now with a high number of recharge cycles and they seem to be performing well still.

They are currently (2020 and 2021) being sold at a competitive price from authorized sources.

It has been great so far in our Panasonic phones at home. Also using them in all my TV/Roku/DVD clickers (lots of these). The great thing is when the ones in my clickers need to be recharged, I can swap them with my Panasonic phone batteries to get them recharged.

No battery charger needed. I am really tired of alkaline batteries going bad and getting the inside of all these clickers with fuzzy white junk to scrape clean. I even had alkaline batteries that became fuzzy not even using them in the original packages that should not expire for many years yet.

I am not going to use alkaline batteries anymore because of this. These batteries should not ruin my clickers the way alkaline batteries do!! I had rechargeable Panasonic batteries in my Panasonic phones for years with none of these problems, these should be just as good and much cheaper.

I ordered two packs of these rechargeable Tenergy AAA batteries. They came charged which was encouraging. I placed them in a unit I have that conditions and recharges. They cycled down and recharged fully with no problems.

They will replace some older rechargeable batteries that did not last one year in storage. I expect them to be ready when needed. Time will tell. I have not given these a full five star rating because there has not been enough time to prove they will last.

I hope I have underrated them.

We have tried lots of rechargeable batteries- Energizer being the worst, Tenergy Centura being the best. To get the most out of them, we run them through our charger 2 or 3 times. If you have a more powerful charger, this might not be worth it.

These batteries hold a charge forever and last every bit as long as a Duracell (w/ the red top) battery. Plus there’s the double bonus of saving space in a landfill and never running out of batteries (we have quite a few charged at all times).

I am very disappointed with these batteries. I bought them for a wedding and they were suppose to be pre-charged but the first two I put in my camera the low battery signal showed right away. Even after I recharged they did not last long.

If I had not been so busy this past month I would have called the company and complained!! i paid more for the Energizers then the ones I got last time and expected better quality. I would try and return them except that I did use them.

Next time I will just get the cheaper ones.

I wanted to try out rechargeable batteries for my flashlight and video gamer controllers. Will see how they work out as I just put them on. Will see how long they last and how fast that can recharge.

As I said, I will have to see how they work out. abc defg hijkl mnopq rstuv wxyz.

We weren’t aware that these particular batteries even came in rechargeable form, and if we’d noticed that these are rechargeable we wouldn’t have bought them. Now I will have to come back in and buy a charger before we can use them in our smoke detectors.

Other than that, they’re fine.

I’ve been using Rayovac Recharable batteries for years. Yes, they cost more but after the first recharge they have paid for themselves and the rest of the recharges is like getting new batteries for all those power hungry toys for children and adults for FREE! Every recharge is just like buying another pack that gets thrown away when they are used up And you’ll get at least 20 charges out of each one! How much money will you save? If tjose popular AA’s cost $4-$8 a pack and tbey last maybe a week with hard use thats going to be at least a savings of $20 a month! I can’t stand throwing away money on dead batteries to make companies rich off my retired self!.

At First Inspection Upon Opening Parcel Units Were Not Factory Sealed , Further Inspection Showed They Weren’t Exactly Like The Ones I Purchased In A Retail Store At That Point I Thought They Were Knock Offs.

Upon Putting Them In A Flash Light They Were Not Pre charged. More Suspicion ?? Placed Them In A Charger For Ten Minutes And All Was Fine. I didn’t Leave The Flash Light On For A Duration Of Time So I Cannot Say How Long The Charge Lasted.

But After A Month Of Setting They Still Are Bright And Holding A Charge.

You can save a lot of money when you buy rechargeable batteries. They recharge hundreds of times and the chargers either come with the batteries or are inexpensive. Charging is fast! No more trips to the store for disposables, and no more disposable batteries in the landfill.

Buy them here where the price is right. $$.

The product specs say it is a “. 2000 mAh. “. It’s not. It is a 175 mAh battery and if you look closely at the pic it says “175 mAh” on the battery, and that’s not just a stock photo of a 9v battery for general purposes, like so many are, it is the battery that you will receive.

That’s a huge difference in how long it can hold a charge between charges.

I wrote a review for a different brand of 9V with the same complaint. These rechargeable’s just don’t work for what I use them for. I do a lot of metal detecting. One unit uses 9V and one uses AA. I can get several days of use from the AA but if I get a full from the 9V I’m lucky.

Then it takes nearly 24 hours to recharge the 9V. If I use a standard throw away 9V in the one unit I can get nearly a week’s worth of use from them. All in all these batteries were a waste of money for me.

I keep buying this exact battery because I rotate them in and out of use with my acoustic-electric guitars. Once charged they seem to last for many hours. The recharge quickly and I’ve had ZERO problems with them.

They are my “go to” batteries for musical instruments.

They are suitable and work well for my landline cordless Gigaset phones however, I don’t leave them in their charging stations once fully charged from near empty batteries. I very much recommend these batteries based on the performance to price ratio.

You’d need to spend twice as much for longer standby times. I’ve no idea if they will handle sitting constantly in a phone charging station. I’ve heard modern rechargeable batteries can handle it. I haven’t had them long enough to know if they’ll last as long as premium brands but Philips are a brand I like and I think they’ll last.

I used these in some of my outdoor solar lighting. Price point was in line with other similar options. Nothing spectacular but nothing negative to say either. I would recommend I would purchase again in the future.

Bought these for a pair of Cordless Phones, they are now I think better than new, the old batteries were rated at 650mAh and I had previously tried some much larger capacity Duracels that I already had, but these would not work at all, perhaps the phone base station was’nt powerfull enough to charge them? But these 700mAh batteries have been working really well, we fitted them to 1 phone at a time so that we could give each pair of batteries a full 24hrs charge and we now find that despite many long telephone calls the phones only display the low charge warning after 3 or 4 days, being Phillips brand we assume they will be reasonable quality and I feel fairly confident that they will last well enough.

If your cordless phones are constantly going flat then it seems likly that a new set of batteries will restore them to good health, just dont be tempted to buy much larger capacity than those fitted or you might find they will not re-charge.

This is a good reliable, rechargeable C cell battery, you can actually feel the quality of this product just by the way it feels. Only had use of these batteries for a few weeks. no problems so far,

Four of these batteries are installed in a Sangean BB-100 radio. There aren’t any diagnostics, but the radio runs about 10 days on a charge, with about 6 hours use per day. Seems pretty good. The BB-100 has a built-in charger.

Batteries have been through about six charge cycles. Consistent so far.

This is a good quality reliable product I would recommend it to anybody who needs a powerful reliable battery.

when you buy a rechargeable battery you have to fully charge it up before you can use it. This particular rechargeable comes charged!!

They charge fast and they seem to be lasting long. I needed them for my lantern. They give good long lasting power.

I have a LOT of these batteries some going back over a decade. I use them mostly in trail cameras and flashlights. Out of them I’ve only had two to fail and it was from the first set of batteries I bought well over a decade ago.

These are some really good batteries and they last a long time. I also have AAA and size D batteries as well. As for Tenergy standing behind their products, I did receive a bad set a while back. I set a picture of the charger showing the batteries were not charging and they sent replacements right away.

I suspect something during shipping but who knows. Great products and a company that stands behind their products. What more could one ask for? Highly recommend this company and their batteries.

I purchased 12 Tenergy Premium 2500 mAh NiMH cell along with the TN160 charger. My use for them is in two “packs” of 6 cells. For this kind of use the cells must be matched in capacity. Of the 6 cells only 8 of them are evenly matched for capacity.

That causes the pack to prematurely indicate a “discharged” condition. This occurs when the unmatched cells prematurely lose their charge, which shortens the useful life of the pack. In other words I do not get the full 2500 mAh capacity from the packs.

Tenergy has a good reputation for not ‘puffing’ / grossly inflating their mAh capacity rating, unlike the no-name chinese cheapo batteries. Those cheapos may cost a fraction of the price of Tenergy, but they also test out at a fraction of the Tenergy capacity.

IMPRESSIVE. These 1000mAh rated Tenergy AAA tested + or – a couple percent of that rated capacity. I tested 8 of them in an OPUS 3400v3. 1 charger/analyzer using its full ‘discharge-refresh’ test and analysis cycle of — full charge, full discharge, full charge, 3x.

That is what most battery manufacturers advise we do before using any Li-Ion or Ni-Mh rechargeable, to condition and bring it to its full power. At the conclusion of the analysis, the Tenergy AAA all rated at from 950-1050 mAh.

The average was around 975mAh. Experience, and many legitimate reviews, show that Tenergy will recycle/recharge hundreds of times before losing power. HOWEVER by comparison, after the same testing, 8 new 1800mAh rated ‘GTL’ brand cheapo AAA produced from 115-215 mAh, or around only 10% of their ‘rated’ capacity.

The same generally holds true for all the no-name brands I have tested, regardless of case color or ‘name’. Equally important, the cheapos and no name units I’ve used in past ‘to save money’ have ALL died after no more than a few dozen [short] discharge cycles, testing then around 20-50 mAh; not enough to even light a small LED flashlight.

BTW: the same outcome results from testing the high mAh rated cheapo, and not so cheapo no-name and ‘-fire branded’ CR123/16340, as well as the 18650 batteries, which like their little brothers make only about 10-20% of rated capacity, and then not for long.

The other moral of the story is: you only get what you pay for, never more. It is far cheaper in the long run to buy Terergy or similar reputable maker high quality batteries, which make rated power, will last far longer without recharging, and will recharge many times more cycles than the cheapos.

I’m a photographer and I run through a lot of batteries. Here’s my experience with rechargables and Tenergy in particular. (1) They are good for about 500 cycles, so instead of throwing away 500 single-use batteries, you’re only throwing away one.

(2) They have longer life than single-use batteries, so you’re carrying less weight and changing batteries less often. (3) When you look for the cost of recharging on your electric bill, you can’t find it.

So TL;DR cheaper, environmentally friendly, dependable. There is no reason to ever buy a single-use battery again!.

I’ve tested a LOT of batteries of all stripe purchased off the Internet. Sadly, more than half of those claiming extra-ordinary capacity will not deliver even a large fraction of claimed capacity. Tenergy products tested in my lab are the exception.

Both the 10Ah and 3800mAh cells delivered very close to nameplate ratings. I gave them 4 stars only because the jury is still out on service life. but I am optimistic.

Unlike some previous generation batteries, these are high density NiMh batteries and hold a huge amount of stored energy. Tenergy is a company that has been in the power source business for a long time, you can count on the product quality to exceed any minimum expectation level.

These batteries, in my experienced opinion, in every way out perform any Alkaline battery, no matter who makes them. You can purchase Tenergy branded batteries with confidence.

Great product. Work as described. Last for many years of reuse

Been using these on my golf GPS, bluetooth keyboard, and mouse for maybe about a year now. They are very obviously better-stronger-longer than my several years old SONY 2100 mAh and some SANYO’s which are still functioning.

However I have no experience with similarly newish other name brands to make any comparison. I will say that in my experience these are tried-true-proven and recommend them without hesitation.

Rechargeable batteries will save you lots of money in the long run. For everyday items these are great. Rechargeable batteries are slightly larger than regular batteries. If they need to slide into something, don’t force them.

Try and keep them together by usage. Dont mix them. For cameras etc use lithium batteries. The output for rechargeable aaa is aprox 1. 3 volts instead of 1. 5. So 4 batteries is 6 volts where these are 5.

2 volts, some electronics will consider these as low or dead. In the future you may want a battery load tester/charger. But in long run they are worth it.

After having spent more than 200 dollars on 4 chargers (2 for gifts, 2 for me), and several packages of Rechargeable NiMh batteries (since Duracell kept reducing the number of batteries they placed in the charger packs when you buy the charger),As I began to use the batteries, I also began to notice the short useful life of the fully recharged rechargeable, which really can hinder their usefulness.

While experiencing more and more charger fail to charge “red-lights”, making the high-priced battery useless, I was fed up having to recharge and recharge and recharge, I finally called the Duracell hotline to complain about the long charge time, and short discharge time, as well as many outright Failure to Charge (red light on charger never turns green), and was told that the life span of these items is a mere 5 years, compared to a 10 year shelf life for non-recharcable Alkaline.

Do the math. NiMh Rechargeables do not last as long as the same sized Alkalines, NOR do these Rechargeable batteries have the output voltage of an similarly sized (AAA, AA) Alkaline Battery (which is 1.

5V). The comparable NiMH Rechargeable battery voltage is 1. 2V or 35% LESS Voltage than the Alkaline, so maybe your toys don’t work as long or as well. So save your money, and wait for a sale at Walgreens or CVS, and buy one or two 10 to 20 packs of AAs or AAAs of the cheaper Alkaline and I think you’ll be better off in the long haul.

more power, higher voltage, and definitely LONGER overall Power life, plus Longer Shelf Life. On a recent flight from NYC to Hong Kong, my rechargeable failed halfway through the flight across the Pacific.

Having thought the power life was getting shorter after a couple of years and several charge cycles (nowhere near the max. advertised cycling), I decided to pack a few AAA Alkalines. and when I replaced the Rechargeable with the Alkaline, my Bose Noise Cancelling headset lasted me the remaining flight to Hong Kong, and then all the way across the Pacific on the return flight.

I also noticed too, that the Power Capacity of the rechargeable batteries varied from maybe 1000mAh to 2450mAh, depending on size and year purchased. with earlier models not having the energy capacity.

To get that energy capacity, you pay a ton of cash for a battery that has the novelty of being able to recharge. but lasts half as long with respect to shelf life as the cheaper throwaway alkaline, as well as seemingly a longer useful time when powering a device.

While I do trust Duracell as a brand, it’s now for Select Batteries only (Alkaline), but I plan on trying their C123 LiION 3V in an application to see how they fair. If they do well, I’ll buy only products using LiIONs Two Thumbs Down on the NiMH rechargeable.

Save you money unless you need these for specialty applications such as VHF 2-Way Radios for emergency use when you have a power to recharge and when space or portage is limited.

These “Duracell Pre-Charged” batteries are good. These are made in Japan (possibly re-branded Eneloop, which is great!). I have converted most of my devices that use AA/AAA from Alkaline (aka Alka-leaks) to NiMH rechargables.

This particular “pre-charged” pack contains LSD (low self-discharge) NiMH batteries. Older NiMH would discharge to 0 volts sitting on the shelf with in a few months. These newer composition NiMH batteries still discharge during storage, but do so a much slower rate and can sit on the shelf for long time.

Third party testing shows LSD batteries (Eneloop-branded, the leader in LSD battery tech) retaining 60% after 10-years. Check the packaging. Beware of Duracell Pre-Charged (aka LSD) batteries that are made in China.

They are of lower and/or inconsistent quality.

So glad I found this company. I needed this battery and had no idea where to get one. Luckily, I found it here and I was amazed at how quickly it was delivered to me!

This battery is for a landline phone. Best Buy is one of the few stores that carries it in store. It is difficult to find anywhere in Chicago and always have to order it online somewhere. Best Buy in Evanston is a big store.

It is located in a mall with a massive Target, a large Jewel and a new Ross just opened up. It is such a pleasure to go out there.

Once again, when another electronics store in our area, did not stock phone batteries anymore, maybe they could special order it, but were unable to confirm a match, BEST BUY was easily able to confirm a matching battery for my needs, but walked me to a shelf and there it was! The VTech Nickel Metal Hydride Battery added more and longer lasting power than my phone ever had.

It was easy to install,and charges to full much faster than the phone ever did. I reccomend its use with confidence.

Purchased 2 of these batteries to replace old ones in my AT&T landline phones. These batteries last longer when talking for long amount of time on phone. Much better than the other brand I bought. The price was lower for these also.

Will purchase again.

Bought these as replacement batteries for our ageing landline phones. They charged quickly and have been brought the handsets back to life!

Replacement batteries for my cordless phones, the talk time is now extended with the new batteries in place.

ok

These are rechargeable batteries that can be used over and over. Have you recently purchased AA or AAA energizers lately? They cost almost the same as these but when they die you throw them away. When these die you just recharge them which takes only a few hours.

I’ve checked the amps they put out and they are actually better than the throwaway. These hold their charge a lot longer than the old ones. These are a fantastic deal.

I found a coast flash light in the street 4 to 5 years ago. The flash light was run over but still working, I opened the battery compartment to find Harbor freight rechargable batteries. I recharged them and they were as bright as ever, I have since recharged them over and over again for 4 to 5 years.

No telling how old they were before I found them but I can say I am impressed with the life span of them. So when I needed a new set of rechargable batteries for a different flash light I knew Harbor freight was a good choice.
