Unfortunately 4 of the 12 cells were accidentally thrown out with the broken toy they were in so I couldn’t test those. Here are the actual measured results after initial break-in and a few months of normal use in kids toys and various gadgets: Capacity Results (mAh): - 3001 - 2687 - 3001 - 2658 - 2639 - 2625 - 2649 - 2698 Average Capacity: 2700 mAh Rated Capacity: 2400 mAh Internal Resistance (mΩ): - Range: 124 mΩ – 200 mΩ Key Takeaways: • All 8 cells tested at or above their rated 2400 mAh capacity • Two cells measured around 3000 mAh, which is significantly above spec (likely inflated slightly by the lower 0.5A test rate, but still impressive) • Most cells clustered tightly between 2625–2700 mAh, showing good consistency • Internal resistance varied from 124–200 mΩ, which is decent but not premium-tier low What this means for real-world use: These are solid mid-to-high performance NiMH cells: - Great for moderate to high-drain devices (controllers, cameras, etc.) - Not quite as consistent as premium Japanese made brands, but very close considering the price - One higher-resistance cell (~200 mΩ) may perform slightly worse under heavy load and prematurely wear out. Lower resistance means less voltage sag under heavy load. Pros: - Exceeds rated capacity across the board - Good consistency between most cells - Good value for the price Cons: - Internal resistance spread is noticeable - Not all cells are perfectly matched for High-drain use Final Verdict: 4.5 / 5 (Rated five stars because you can’t give a half star rating, close enough however): For the price, these perform above expectations. If you’re willing to match cells based on performance (capacity + internal resistance), you can get excellent results comparable to more expensive brands. Testing Note: Results were obtained using a 0.5A analysis cycle, which can slightly inflate capacity readings compared to higher-drain real-world use. Not an appreciable difference however in actual usage. Testing Equipment - ISDT N8 Series Smart Charger Please note: Don’t be disappointed if brand new cells don’t meet their rated capacity out of the box. NimH rechargeable batteries have a break-in period when new. This is usually 3-5 full charge/discharge cycles (for premium Japanese-made cells around 2 charge/discharge cycles). A good smart charger can do this for you. It can take several hours or they will break-in themselves over time with normal usage but their performance will increase after break-in. Review: This is a 'Best Buy', all the way around! - I am a flashaholic! That is a name that we flashlight nuts call ourselves at a blog we all meet at to discuss the various flashlights we own, what's new, and answer each other's questions when we can. I won't name it here, but search for 'flashaholic' and I'm sure you will find it. I own a couple of very high power flashlights, and a very nice bright lantern for emergency use like power outages. Now, one thing all flashlights do is eat batteries like they are going out of style. Now using alkaline AAs wasn't too bad, since I can get them at our favorite on-line store for about a quarter a piece, but I still found myself restricting use of the two that used them in an effort to save money. But my super high power light was another matter. Replacing eight cells at a time at $2.00 each gets expensive. So when I found myself with a few extra dollars and a great deal on a charger and rechargeable cells at you know where, I jumped at it. But that left the AA lights. Buying eight higher capacity rechargeable AA cells was going to cost around $40.00 USD. But then I ran across these cells here at our favorite store for half that price. Yup, you guessed it - I bought them. And they have been great! I have always had good luck buying desertcart Basics, and this is no exception. They charged up nicely, and work well in my lights. Others will tell you that you should save your money and buy the lower capacity Eneloop-style cells that can be recharged 2,000 times, as opposed to these that can be recharged only 500 times. Well, I got these desertcart Basics for LESS than the price of a similar set of the lower capacity, longer lifetime cells, and less than HALF the price of the equivalent high capacity cells. I figure if I recharge them once a month I will still be using these cells forty years from now, assuming I am still alive by then. Bottom line, if you are looking at rechargeable AA cells, these are the ones to get. Trust me, I work for the government! (I really don't, I just had to say that. My weird sense of humor, don'tcha know!) Edit [10/31/14]: I have now run these cells through several recharge cycles, and they are holding up as well as I expected. Before I got these cells I was using lithium AAs in my one high power flashlight, and these cells are doing just as well as their replacement. The old wisdom is that rechargeable cells don't last as long as alkalines, but make up for it by being rechargeable. Well, that doesn't hold true here. These cells are lasting as long as the lithiums did, and charging right back up ready to do it again. I plan on buying another set as soon as I free up some disposable income. You can't go wrong with these cells and a good charger. Edit 4/5/15: I sat down with by battery log and my calculator the other day, and figured out that I have recharged enough cells to pay for the charger, the original 18650 cells, and the AA rechargeables. From here on in, all my usage is free. It is a great feeling, and these AA cells really helped me get there ## Features - RELIABLE PERFORMANCE: 4-pack of AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (2,400 mAh) - DEVICE COMPATIBLE: Ideal for devices with high power or continuous drain like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more - LONG LASTING: Can be recharged up to 400 times with minimal power loss - LOW SELF DISCHARGE: Maintains 70% capacity for 6 months and 50% capacity for 12 months - EASY USE & STORAGE: Has a shelf-life up to 5 years for everyday or emergency use; arrives pre-charged and ready to use - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B081FF82RK | | Antenna Location | Camera | | Battery Capacity | 2400 milliamp_hours | | Battery Cell Composition | NiMH | | Battery Cell Type | NiMH | | Best Sellers Rank | #617 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #18 in AA Batteries | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 137,435 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840095832427 | | Item Dimensions | 0.57 x 0.57 x 1.99 inches | | Item Weight | 27.22 g | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Model Name | Rechargeable batteries | | Model Number | 240AAHCB | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camera | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 840095888615 840095832427 | | Unit Count | 4 Count | | Voltage | 1.2 volts | ## Product Details - **Battery Capacity:** 2400 milliamp_hours - **Battery Cell Composition:** NiMH - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Number of Batteries:** 4 AA batteries required. - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camera ## Images ![Amazon Basics 4-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 400x Times - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810d1woDdUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Battery for the Price *by T***S on April 25, 2026* Amazon Basics AA Rechargeable Batteries (2400 mAh) – Real Capacity Test Results I ran a full analysis cycle on 8 cells using an ISDT N8-series smart charger at a 0.5A charge/discharge rate.

They seem to hold charge and work OK--have not tested capacity. Noted that their Amazon Basics 4-bay charger is a poor indicator of full cell charge--it will charge 4 cells at 1.5 Watts per cell for about 15 minutes before shutting off, even after they have just been fully charged and re-inserted into the charger... ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AA Batteries, 4-Pack, 2400 mAh, NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged - Amazon Basics Rechargeable Battery Charger for AA & AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries with USB Charging Port, Black - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AAA Batteries, 4-Pack, 800 mAh, NiMH Performance Batteries, Recharge up to 1000x Times, Pre-Charged --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/181813840-amazon-basics-4-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/181813840-amazon-basics-4-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
