Review on 28 Pack Of EBL High Capacity Precharged Ni-MH AA Rechargeable Batteries With 2800MAh Capacity by Andy Metzger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for my opinion

These seem like some pretty darn good batteries. Clock in at or above the stated mAh rating and have continued to for many cycles, and good current capability. I use 8 of them in one relatively high power device (steadycam grip) that calls for NiMH only and these power it wonderfully. No idea why it apparently can't take alkaline primary cells, it doesn't even have a charging port or anything, but fortunately I have an unhealthy amount of chargers for virtually every type of cell chemistry one could imagine & ability to make chargers for chemistries not yet imagined :) . I'll be trying their AAA NiMH cells next, as I currently use *tons* of AAA primary cells all over the place & only rarely have any use for rechargable AA cells.One caveat: they're a bit large. If you've got a device that really packs the cells in tight, you might have some trouble with these. I damaged the wrap on one of the cells getting them into the steadycam grip once, so now I have one that's been re-wrapped with orange wrap for 14mm diameter cells. It was a bit harder to get into the shrink-wrap sleeve than other AA/14*** cells too, due to their diameter. It's not a huge difference so for most it won't make any difference at al, but the tiny difference is there so it's worth pointing out imo. I forgot how much of a difference, but definitely less than 1mm extra diameter per cell. For virtually all cases it will be worth it for the greater capacity, current capabilities, and seemingly great build quality; IMHO. Throwing some AAA in the cart after I submit this review.

Pros
  • Great value.
Cons
  • They may not hold a charge for very long
