Recommend rechargegable AA, AAA batteries

[livemusic]

I have used Eneloop rechargeable batteries for years. I am looking at an Eneloop AA now, says "HR-3UTGA 1.2v min 1900 mAh." What type is that?

I use them for various devices. Can anyone recommend a good AA / AAA battery? I need some more.

Try the Amazon Basic LSD High Capacity cells. Many of us are convinced that they are re-badged Eneloop XX cells. When I bought mine, if one bought eight at a time the price was about half that of Eneloop cells. I have had mine for several years, and have had no problems with them.

Ikea ladda batteries come pretty highly reviewed.

I'd just get some more Eneloops if you need more batteries

Why do you like the pros, I saw those.

I have used eneloops, duracell, energizer, haven't had an issue with any of them. I prefer higher mah batteries. They won't get as many charges, but they run your devices longer. I have enough rechargeables that I won't be recharging the batteries even close to 500 times before their lifespan is expired, so for my money, eneloop pros or duracells at/around 2500 mah are the way to go.

The "pro" version has about 25% higher capacity. The trade-offs are higher price, they are rated for fewer charge cycles (500 versus 2100...still a lot!) and have higher self discharge, but should still be around 85% charge after a year of storage.

Basically, you choose between lower cost (regular Eneloop), or better performance (Eneloop Pro).

That's best decision.

A couple of threads of interest complaining about the Eneloop XX (Panasonic Pro)

I have some Panasonic Pro's and while I don't use them all that much, they seem to be holding up just fine. However due to more cost, in the future, I'd probably just buy more of the regular Eneloops.

I use the Fujitsu(Eneloop) AAA 900mah LSD in my EDC Flashlight the extra capacity(runtime) is worth the lower cycle count in an emergency, And i only top-off the battery every few weeks to keep it fully charged maybe 10% so it takes 10 top-off to equal one cycle and i should get 5000 of them.
