What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Check device compatibility and fit before buying. The listing says these 1.2V NiMH cells may have shorter runtime than 1.5V alkaline batteries and may be slightly larger. Use only a Ni-MH charger with independent charging channels and voltage monitoring. Do not mix these with non-rechargeable cells, cells at different charge levels, old and new cells, different capacities or brands. The listing claims they arrive pre-charged and ready to use, can be recharged up to 500 times, and retain 80% capacity for 24 months. These performance figures are manufacturer claims, not verified results.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People replacing AAA cells in compatible digital cameras, remote controls, toys and other devices.
Buyers who need a larger set of rechargeable AAA cells and already have a suitable Ni-MH charger.

Less suited to

Devices requiring 1.5V alkaline cells or with tight battery compartments that do not accept the listed NiMH cell dimensions.
Buyers who need a charger included with the batteries.
