Overview

These AAA NiMH cells arrive pre-charged and ready, rated at 850mAh and good for up to 500 recharges apiece, which quickly beats buying disposables for anything you feed batteries to. They suit remotes, clocks, toys, keyboards, electric toothbrushes and shavers, and a low self-discharge design holds around 80% of its charge for a year, so they are not flat when you reach for them. The leak-free build is a nice touch. A 4.5-star rating from over 97,000 buyers makes them a solid, thrifty choice. Check the current price on Amazon.

How it compares in Household Batteries, Chargers & Accessori

Across the 46 rated household batteries, chargers & accessori products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.5, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.

It carries 98,729 ratings against a category median of 17,635. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.

On price it sits in the middle third of a category running from £2.99 to £19.99, where the midpoint is about £6.92. That is the part of the range where most sensible buys sit, neither cutting corners nor paying for the name.
