Review on ACDelco Precharged Rechargeable Batteries 16 Count Household Supplies by Tyra Comeaux

So a pack of 16 NiMH AAA batteries for $28 might seem like a pretty good deal at first glance. And these batteries were tested with a nominal capacity of 800 mAh on my charger/tester. I only tested 8 cells but out of those 8 I was sure the other 8 would probably be very similar. I had a minimum of 796 mAh and a maximum of 822 mAh, with a mean of 808 mAh and a standard deviation of 7.61 mAh. That's pretty darn good for a small sample size. The 8 batteries I tested came out of the box with voltages between 1.27 and 1.28V. A day after fully charging they measured 1.36V, and after a new charge they measured 1.42V. The old eneloop AAA I have in my stash batteries that were charged 3-4 weeks ago measured 1, 35V so I don't know if I can call them ready to use straight out of the box as advertised. I would definitely add them before using. This is where I think the problems start. Compared to Eneloops (16 AAA cells at Revain are now $33.98), the price difference isn't that big. For $6 you get proven reliability with Eneloops claimed charge cycles far exceeding AC Delco's mark (2100 for Eneloops vs 500 for AC Delco). If AC Delco could advertise 2000+ charge cycles they would, but they can't, so they don't. I have personally used my Eneloop AA and AAA for the last 10+ years and they are doing well. I am always amazed at how much abuse and low voltage they can handle and still charge. If you don't want to spend the extra $6 I would consider Revain Basics which I've had really good results with as well. I think I'm a bit skeptical about the AC Delco brand compared to established brands like Eneloops and Revain Basic.
