Panasonic

4.8

(34)

"Use good NiMH like Eneloops; they're better than single use Alkalines, not just ecologically, but economically too."

"These are industry standard for wireless microphones and in ear monitors in the entertainment industry."

"Eneloop, AA and AAA, never let me down. Owning and using some of them for 7+ years now, still going strong."

"So the consensus is ENELOOP. I have some that just sit on the shelf in case I need them (seem to use them every Xmas) they are over 15 years old."

"Eneloop."

"Eneloop batteries for sure and any decent charger - doesn't have to be an eneloop charger."

"Indeed Eneloop."

"Panasonic eneloop standard, not pro version. Better long term, might last decades."

"Eneloop. And buy a smart charger."

"Normal Enloop have been great for me. I also have been happy with the amazon basic rechargeable I got."

Eneloop

4.8

(33)

"Try the regular Eneloop instead. I use them in all my devices... Bluetooth mouse, Bluetooth keyboard, remotes, radios, flashlights... I'm still using the same cells I first purchased 20 years ago."

"I have 4 AA Eneloops I've had rotated in my Game controller for the past 12 year and they still maintain good charge and last about a month in between charge cycles. Eneloops are king on NiHMs."

"I've been rocking Eneloop rechargeables for years in my mouse, keyboard, controllers, etc."

"Eneloop rechargeables. Get 2x as many as you need at one time."

"AAs for the controllers should be Eneloops. Eneloops have a fairly high capacity, do not self discharge (lose charge just sitting around) and are very good with high loads."

"Eneloop (black ones)"

"Bruh I have used eneloops for years."

"Rechargeable Eneloop or Ikea Ladda."

"Eneloop Pro."

"You should get rechargable batteries."

IKEA

4.3

(28)

"I only buy the Laddas, now."

"If you have an IKEA go get their Ladda AA cells."

"IKEA LADDA 1000% OF THE TIME"

"I use Ikea, Eneloop, or EBL."

"[The Ikea higher capacity ones] are great, cheaper than those brands."

"Best rechargeables in my opinion: cheap, long lasting and very good quality."

"IKEA Lada batteries."

"Ikea! Inexpensive and very highly rated."

"Get Ikea Ladda (which are rebranded Panasonic Eneloops) if possible."

"I use Ikea Ladda batteries on my stock blasters, which are a "reskin" of Eneloops but cheaper."

Energizer

4.8

(13)

"The batteries have shown no sign of dying."

"Energizer lithium are my go to, they last a long time and I play a lot."

"Lithium batteries (e.g. Energizer Ultimate Lithium) can also be used to power the Smart Lock."

"Energizer lithium lasts me 4-6 months, even in Canadian winter"

"I use Energizer Max because their construction quality and power profile is the best."

"Not rechargeable, but for the absolute longest lasting batteries, go with Energizer Ultimate Lithium."

"For my Acurite thermometers that are in the fridge and freezers I use Energizer lithium ion (non-rechargable) batteries. They can handle cold really well"

"I use 6 energizer rechargeables (but any brand will do)"

"They don't leak and they last forever."

"Longest life span by a long shot."

Amazon Basics

3.6

(15)

"Honestly the Amazon Basics NIHM batteries have worked fine for me."

"Amazon Basics high-capacity have been good for me."

"My sons controller is using Amazon Basics rechargeable ones. They seem to last quite a while"

"I have some "might be Eneloop" Amazon Basics, Energizer, and duracell, made in Japan."

"Got my kid some Amazon Basics ones for his Xbox controllers. They do outstanding."

"Eneloops are widely considered to be among the best, but you can get decent rechargeables with the Amazon Basics brand too."

"Amazon Basics. Currently super cheap for Black Friday."

"I just buy Amazon Basics for everything. 100ct for less than $25"

"I buy the Amazon basics batteries. They last a pretty long time and they’re cheap as well."

"Another vote for Amazon basics."

Duracell

4.2

(11)

"They've lasted 3 weeks plus at a time with me playing every nite almost."

"I've had the same set of Duracell rechargeables for 7 years."

"Duracell, or Thunderbolt Magnum."

"Duracell are supposed to be the best batteries, but they are quite expensive."

"Duracell were better for high intensity power, energizer were better for prolonged use."

"I'd buy some Duracell or Energizer rechargeable batteries on Ebay."

"Duracell are likely to be one of the best."

"Works better than energizer."

"I got the Duracell green colored ones that came with a charger."

"I've found Duracell 2500mAh are fairly reliable and hold a decent charge."

XTAR

4.5

(6)

"The best 1.5v rechargeables I know of are made by Xtar."

"I also just bought some of the new Xtar ones with 'Low Voltage Indicator'. These are the only ones I would buy now."

"I use rechargeable Lithium https://amzn.eu/d/azDRpEN work great"

"Considering all but a single XTAR AAA have been reliable"

"Standard Eneloop and XTAR. Don’t do anymore research because I did it for you."

"Yep, the XTAR AA/AAA 1.5V lithium rechargeable are good so far in my usage."

EBL

3.4

(8)

"I personally use EBL NiMHs, not the cheapest, but they do the job and they'll last."

"EBL and some others I don't recall. Hixon and Kratax, IIRC, had consistently fairly decent reviews so I gambled on them and it worked out."

"USB-C connector built in... Check for Hixion, Volkate, or EBL. I've done an extensive test on 8 different brands. These are the three that have the same or better capacity as an alkaline AA battery."

"Some folks in this sub are reporting good results with EBL rechargeable Lithium batteries."

"I have some EBL 2800 mAh batteries and they last a really long time."

"I also used the EBL NiMH ones as well, and had to charge frequently."

"I purchased (2) sets of 8 AA EBL Lithium batteries about 2 years ago… they are hit and miss… about half of them seem to be working just fine but the other half seem to drain really quickly."

"Ah yes, there’s EBL and Xtar as well. I don’t use EBL, but from memory, every time I see a photo posted by someone with an EBL, it’s usually to share a dramatic story rather than a fantastic one."

Ansmann

4.0

(4)

"I swear by Ansmann batteries and rack mount chargers."

"So surprised I had to go this far down to find Ansmann. Probably the only reputable brand that I know doing them."

"Only rechargeables that I trust outside of the SB900s are from Ansmann."

"Look into the AA/AAA options from Ansmann. Not a brand as bad as EBL, maybe not as big as others."

Eneloop Pro

4.0

(3)

"I've tried so many and these are the ones I absolutely love: Eneloop Pro."

"I use eneloop pro with my wireless mouse"

"Eneloop Pro is not the right cell for the application. Low-drain devices like peripherals, remotes, etc., should use the regular Eneloop."

#11

Hixon

4.0

(3)

"Cost wise, those Hixon/Kratax seem to be a really good value when they're on sale."

"I have Hixon AA and AAA and they work fine."

"I\'m also having good luck, as in no failures, of Hixon/Kratax AA."

#12

Amazon

3.7

(3)

"The Amazon High Capacity rechargeables are just as good as the eneloop ones imo."

"Amazon Batts are good."

"Amazon. You will need a separate battery charger for them - your NiMh charger will not work."

#13

Fujitsu

4.5

(2)

"Currently, the Japanese Fujitsu rechargeable batteries recharge more times and last longer."

"Look for Fujitsu low self discharge, they're made in Japan and perform like the old Eneloops did."

#14

Li-ion

4.0

(2)

"I use liIon rechargeables and change them about once a week."

"They still show 100% after a long time!"

#15
