BONAI AA 2600mAh Rechargeable Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH Low Self Discharge (20 Pack) - UL Certificate

I can recommend these for high use kids toys, etc because I bought these bonai 2600 mAh batteries in a 20 pack for $28.00. I have now tested all of them twice,and 6 of them are above 2600 mAh, 10 of them are above 2500 mAh, and only four are just barely below 2500. 96-100 percent of rated capacity. These outperform the Bonai 2800s whose performance pretty much duplicates the Bonai 2300s which I also recommend as a good buy. I have tried 3 of the Bonai AA and rate 2 of them, 2300 and 2600 mAh, as very good values. I have tried their high capacity 1100 mAh AAA and the high capacity 2800 AA and rate them as poor values. These average about 1800 mAh per dollar when bought in the 20 packs. They outperform the poor performing Bonai 2800 by over 200 mAh. I discovered their weakness tonight. They loose their charge faster than the 2300s and the 2800s. I found out when I put them in my old 12 meg pix reflex camera to make sure they fit and the 2600s were the only ones that showed a low battery after sitting for over a month.

I purchased these to take on a trip with me. They worked fair, but the battery life is no longer than an ordinary battery. That being said, I'd rather recharge batteries than keep throwing batteries away. After returning from my trip I tried to put them into my dog's nail grinder and they would not fit in. We looked at them and they are just slightly larger than regular AA batteries. Because AA batteries fit perfectly down into the nail grinder, these would not go in. Be aware that if you have any electronics where the batteries are a snug fit, these may not work. Otherwise, they are okay.

I didn't rate on 'Longevity' because I've only had my batteries for 4-6 months. I have purchased over 100 AA & AAA Bonai Batteries and a 16-Bay Charger for all my flameless candles (throughout my home and garden). I was spending the same amount of money for throw away alkaline batteries too often, so I'm loving the money I'm saving. Rechargeables seem and are more expensive, but really not by that much, they should last 1200 times longer per the specifications by Bonai. And together Bonai and I are also saving the environment! Thanks Bonai for your impeccable customer service, too!

Beware! These batteries are only 1.2V; many electronics require 1.5V. When I use these batteries in some electronic devices, they won't turn on even with these batteries at full charge, including a remote that throws up a "low battery" warning.

One of the best rechargeable batteries I have tried. Handy for devices such as solar lights, artificial candles, torch flashlight and any device that keeps using a lot of batteries.

We've bout about 3 different brands of rechargeable batteries in the last year or so. This one is noticeably the best! It seems to hold the charge better, and seems to hold more power as well. We use in gaming controllers, baby toys, remote controls, an electric rat trap, etc. We'll be purchasing more soon!

Out of the box one wouldn't charge at all. I rotate batteries, so I didn't know until today the ones that initially charged were dead. I went to put 4 of them in a digital lock on a safe. The lock would not even make a sound when the combination numbers were pushed. I tried all the batteries from this purchase, on different devices, and they all failed to even turn on a LED flashlight. Pure junk and a waste of money.

I agree it must be the best value for money. Comparing rechargeables to alcalines as some reviews do makes zero sense. These batteries have capacity of about 2400 which is very close to advertised. Most other cheap batteries have half of advertised capacity.
