## Description

Product Description An desertcart Brand. desertcart Basics 8-Pack AA Rechargeable Batteries, Recharge up to 400x, High-Capacity 2400 mAh, Pre-Charged From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: OK, Especially for the price - These 1.5 year-old cells behave about the same as the 3.5 year old ones I have been using since 2024. They seem to hold charge and work OK--have not tested capacity. Noted that their desertcart 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...
Review: These seem like good batteries. - I am comparing these to Energizer rechargeable batteries. The seem to charge as fast but they seem to last about half as long. It can be hard to do a direct comparison as no two devices ever seem to be used in the same way, but I tried these in some LED lanterns on a camping trip. The lanterns were the same make and model and were both brand new. One lantern had brand new, fully charged Energizers in it and the other had these desertcart Basics, also brand new and fully charged. (Both sets of batteries were charged on the same charger). I put the lanterns on a table and they ran continuously until the next day. The lantern with the desertcart Basics batteries shut off after about 16 hours whereas the Energizer batteries kept that lantern going for 28 hours. For the price, I think that these feel like a good value. Energizer is exceptionally proud of their products and charge accordingly. Yes, they may be better, but I don't think that they are the best value. It may turn out that the overal lifecycle of the Energizers is much better than the desertcart Basics, but the short-term results say that the desertcart Basics are perfectly acceptable. The green color is nice tool Other companies use green to indicate that their batteries are rechargable, so good on desertcart for leaning into that.

## Features

- RELIABLE PERFORMANCE: 8-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 50% capacity for 1 year
- EASY USE & STORAGE: Shelf-life up to 5 years; great 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.
- 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: amazon basics black vs amazon basics white**
A: To clarify, there are three different versions of AmazonBasic rechargeable NiMH batteries:- The original AmazonBasics batteries came in black wrappers. They are made in China and have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are NOT as good as Sanyo eneloop batteries.ASIN:B0030T1NEA AmazonBasics AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries- The second version of AmazonBasics batteries came in white wrappers. They are made in Japan and also have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are (according to me) rebranded 2nd-gen Sanyo eneloop, so you can expect at least 1500 cycles lifespan.ASIN:B00CWNMV4G AmazonBasics Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries- The third version is also black but called 'high-capacity'. They are (according to me) rebranded Sanyo XX. They are rated 2400mAh, but actual capacity is around 2550mAh, just like Sanyo XX. The rated lifespan of the XX is only 500 cycles.ASIN:B00HZV9TGS AmazonBasics High-Capacity Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries

**Q: Describing a battery as "high capacity": does not inform the buyer.  1500 mAh?  2000?  2500?  Why are you hiding this spec?!?**
A: Generally, you have to search the cell description to find the rating. There isn't an industry standard as regards what constitutes a "high capacity" cell, so you will see it roughly corresponds to AA cells of 2000 mah and higher. Rarely do AA cells ever exceed 2700 mah, although a few vendors make such claims, which are mostly found to be bogus.

**Q: can i use my eastshine s2 charger? or must use your charger?**
A: Yes you can use the eastshine S2 charger. These batteries are NI-MH.

**Q: are this AA batteries fatter then Alkaline batteries ? i use eneloop lite where i cant use regular eneloops due to size restrictions**
A: Those AmazonBasics High-Capacity AA batteries are slightly fatter than regular eneloop cell, which are alreaddy slightly fatter than alkaline AA. So if you have to resort to using eneloop-lite in battery compartments, then those high-capacity cells are not going to fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. 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.
