An desertcart Brand. From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics Review: Great rechargeable batteries that deliver solid power and long life - I picked up the desertcart Basics 12-pack of rechargeable AA batteries mainly to cut down on constantly buying disposables, and they’ve ended up being a very practical purchase. They worked right out of the package and dropped straight into everything I use regularly, like remotes, wireless accessories, and a few devices that tend to chew through batteries faster than expected. Power delivery has been consistent, with no flickering or sudden drops, and they feel dependable rather than finicky. What I’ve appreciated most is how well they hold up over repeated use. After several recharge cycles, they still seem to keep a strong charge and last a long time between swaps, even in higher-drain devices. Charging has been straightforward with no overheating or odd behavior, and it’s nice knowing I can rotate through a set instead of constantly throwing batteries away. Overall, these feel like a sensible, no-nonsense option that does exactly what you want rechargeable batteries to do, save money, reduce waste, and keep everyday devices running without hassle. Review: Reliable High Capacity Rechargeable AA Batteries Great Value - The desertcart Basics rechargeable AA NiMH batteries have been very reliable over the years. They function well in a wide range of devices and hold a solid charge. Charging speed is reasonable, and they do not get excessively warm while charging when used with a proper charger, I use a Panasonic charger. Battery life is good for high drain devices, and they have held up well over time with repeated recharging. Being able to recharge them hundreds of times makes them an excellent value for the money, especially from a trusted brand. Overall, durable, dependable, and a great long term alternative to disposable batteries. ## Features - RELIABLE PERFORMANCE: 24-pack of AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (2,400 mAh) - DEVICE COMPATIBLE: Ideal for devices with high power or continuous drain like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more - LONG LASTING: Can be recharged up to 400 times with minimal power loss - LOW SELF DISCHARGE: Maintains 50% capacity for 1 year - EASY USE & STORAGE: Has a shelf-life up to 5 years for everyday or emergency use; arrives pre-charged and ready to use - NOTE: To avoid damage or undesired rapid discharge of the batteries, DO NOT MIX: non-rechargeable with rechargeable batteries; fully-charged with mid- to low-charged batteries; new with old batteries; different mAh capacities; different brands. - Ni-MH Battery Tips: Verify device compatibility with 1.2V Ni-MH batteries. Runtime may be shorter than 1.5V alkaline batteries. Check proper fit as Ni-MH batteries are slightly larger than alkaline batteries to comply with IEC standards. Replace all batteries simultaneously and consult the device manual for specific requirements. - Charger Tips: Use only Ni-MH specific chargers with independent charging channels and voltage monitoring to prevent overcharging or undercharging. Avoid timer-only chargers and never use chargers designed for other battery types (like NiZn or Li-ion), as this may cause damage or leakage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NWWHK1J | | Antenna Location | High power or continuous drain devices like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more | | Battery Capacity | 2400 | | Battery Cell Composition | NiMH | | Battery Cell Type | NiMH | | Best Sellers Rank | #638 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #19 in AA Batteries | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 132,599 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00192233056906 | | Item Dimensions | 0.56 x 0.56 x 1.97 inches | | Item Weight | 1 ounces | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Model Name | Rechargeable batteries | | Model Number | 240AAHCB | | Number of Batteries | 24 AA batteries required. | | Recommended Uses For Product | High power or continuous drain devices like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 840095888639 192233056906 | | Unit Count | 24.0 Count | | Voltage | 1.2 Volts | ## Product Details - **Battery Capacity:** 2400 - **Battery Cell Composition:** NiMH - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Number of Batteries:** 24 AA batteries required. - **Recommended Uses For Product:** High power or continuous drain devices like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more ## Images ![Amazon Basics 24-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, 1.2V, Low Self Discharge, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 400x Times - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o87mdcmIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: amazon basics black vs amazon basics white** A: To clarify, there are three different versions of AmazonBasic rechargeable NiMH batteries:- The original AmazonBasics batteries came in black wrappers. They are made in China and have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are NOT as good as Sanyo eneloop batteries.ASIN:B0030T1NEA AmazonBasics AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries- The second version of AmazonBasics batteries came in white wrappers. They are made in Japan and also have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are (according to me) rebranded 2nd-gen Sanyo eneloop, so you can expect at least 1500 cycles lifespan.ASIN:B00CWNMV4G AmazonBasics Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries- The third version is also black but called 'high-capacity'. They are (according to me) rebranded Sanyo XX. They are rated 2400mAh, but actual capacity is around 2550mAh, just like Sanyo XX. The rated lifespan of the XX is only 500 cycles.ASIN:B00HZV9TGS AmazonBasics High-Capacity Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries **Q: Describing a battery as "high capacity": does not inform the buyer. 1500 mAh? 2000? 2500? Why are you hiding this spec?!?** A: Generally, you have to search the cell description to find the rating. There isn't an industry standard as regards what constitutes a "high capacity" cell, so you will see it roughly corresponds to AA cells of 2000 mah and higher. Rarely do AA cells ever exceed 2700 mah, although a few vendors make such claims, which are mostly found to be bogus. **Q: can i use my eastshine s2 charger? or must use your charger?** A: Yes you can use the eastshine S2 charger. These batteries are NI-MH. **Q: are this AA batteries fatter then Alkaline batteries ? i use eneloop lite where i cant use regular eneloops due to size restrictions** A: Those AmazonBasics High-Capacity AA batteries are slightly fatter than regular eneloop cell, which are alreaddy slightly fatter than alkaline AA. So if you have to resort to using eneloop-lite in battery compartments, then those high-capacity cells are not going to fit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rechargeable batteries that deliver solid power and long life *by S***N on February 8, 2026* I picked up the Amazon Basics 12-pack of rechargeable AA batteries mainly to cut down on constantly buying disposables, and they’ve ended up being a very practical purchase.

My findings are based on rigorous testing and comparison with other brands in the market. Upon unboxing, my initial impression was that these batteries are strikingly similar to the Sanyo eneloop XX batteries, both in appearance and specifications. This led me to believe that they might be rebranded versions of the same. To confirm my suspicion, I embarked on a series of tests using my La Crosse BC1000 Battery Charger/Analyzer. Here's what I found: Pros: + High Capacity: The batteries delivered an average capacity of 2555mAh after a few recharge/discharge cycles, exceeding the rated 2400mAh. This is a testament to their high-quality performance. + Quality Control: The tight spread between 2510 and 2610mAh across the batteries indicates excellent quality control. + Value for Money: At the time of writing, an 8-pack of Amazon High-Capacity AA batteries costs less than a 4-pack of eneloop XX batteries, making them a great bargain. + Long-Term Performance: After 5 months in storage, the batteries retained 85% of their original capacity, outperforming the Sanyo XX batteries in my previous tests. Cons: - Size: These batteries are slightly fatter than typical AA batteries, which might cause fitting issues in devices with extremely tight battery compartments. - Lifespan: While they perform excellently in the short term, these batteries seem to lose their ability to hold charge after a few years. If you're a heavy user, be prepared to replace them after 2-3 years. - Country of Origin: Some users have reported a drop in quality in batteries made in China compared to those made in Japan. In conclusion, the Amazon Basics 16-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries (2400 mAh) offer excellent performance and value for money. However, their slightly larger size and shorter lifespan compared to other brands might be a deal-breaker for some users. Remember, the best battery for you depends on your specific needs and the devices you intend to use them in. Always consider these factors when making your purchase decision. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AA Batteries, 24-Pack, 2400 mAh, NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AAA Batteries, 24-Pack, 850 mAh, NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, Recharge up to 500x Times, Pre-Charged - BONAI AA AAA Battery Charger 16 Bay for NiMH NiCD Rechargeable Batteries Independent Control with LED Light and Standard American AC Charging Plug, Battery not Included - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/174741851-amazon-basics-24-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/174741851-amazon-basics-24-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
