It was worth it because the charger is really great, 5 stars for that, but the batteries sucked because 3-4 batteries were dead out of the box or within 30 days. I actually have a review here somewhere on those. The company contacted me and sent me replacement batteries, which was cool, and because that was cool I bought another 8-pack, but they both went 50% dead within a month too. I had similar experiences with desertcart-branded batteries. So THEN I tried the Tenergies, which were a little more expensive, and I have to say, this is a case of you get what you pay for. These batteries work great, and thus far, 6 months later out of the 24-pack there are only three that are going dead, which compared to the others is great! This is with daily use in battery-powered small garden lanterns and electronic devices like handheld game controllers. In summary, I will continue to buy Tenergy brand batteries going forward! Review: so are still useful. Of course - Most of the Tenergy batteries I purchased last 10 years or more. Compare that with others that will last 300-800 charges (even when they claim 1,000). The ones that survived over 12 years old don't have the capacity of new ones anymore, but still have as much power as your cheapest alkaline or carbon-zinc (heavy duty) batteries, so are still useful. Of course, use a smart charger to make them last long. But I have used dumb cheap chargers with them too in a pinch or when the smart charger was full, but no more often than I really have to. I've never had to deliberately fully discharge these NiMi for them to hold a full charge. "Memory-effect" is much less a problem than with older NiCads. If they're run down just once in a great while... like at least every couple of years, rather than just topping them off all the time is good enough to avoid any memory effect. In another words, you may never have to fully discharge these before charging them. Over the course of 2 years of using them, you will have probably run them down low enough anyway through normal use at least once, & that should be all you need to. These aren't their low self-discharge or pre-charged versions but mine did arrive with a charge still on them. These newer formula/design ones have sat around for 3-4 months & still had plenty of charge left. So you don't have to recharge these every month or 2 if they've been setting around unused for a while. But if you want the maximum run time out of them, especially in high drain devices you really should recharge them after a couple months. Top them off before you're going on a long trip, or expecting a storm that may knock out power. Low self-discharge batteries can still hold plenty of power after being stored from a year, but don't expect these to have much power without a charging them for a year. I have accidentally left them in a low-drain LED light for about 6 months, & they still had enough power to run them for several hours (about 1/3 their normal fully charged run time). So it you're going to put these in devices that you rarely use & forget about them for more than a couple months up to a year, get their low self-discharge versions instead (they work great too). These have the advantage of being a little cheaper than low self-discharge ones, & have a higher AH (power) rating. So as long as they're used within a month or so since they were last charged, the will run longer than the low self-discharge ones. Batteries of other types will eventually leak & damage your device if they sit in them too long, get old, are an odd brand, or a factory defective battery. These will not leak ever. ## Features - High power energy - Tenergy's 12 pack Premium rechargeable batteries offers 2500mAh capacity.

It shouldn't affect their lifetime though, as they only wear down the more you discharge & charge them. However modern batteries have a little less self-discharge rate than older versions. So they'll loose less of their charge just sitting around than older versions. But don't confuse that with the low self discharge batteries that are specifically designed to hold their charge longer when not in use. I've seen no difference in their regular blue & 2 tone regular rechargeable batteries. However if you order blue ones, you may actually get the 2-tone ones. The picture may be of their older stock, but you may get their newer stock anyway. **Q: how long to charge this energizer aa battery with my eastshine s2 charger? can be charged at 1000amp? the battery will be hot?** A: i have variations of charge times. Anywhere from 8 to 10 hrs.. *If I were you I'd buy the Duracell rechargeable battery's, these ones only last about 6 to 8 months.. Good luck. **Q: How long of a warranty do these have I used them once just went to recharge and again and only 4 out of 12 take a charge it's on a tenergy charger.** A: I purchased these in August of 2018 and they are still holding up pretty well. I would say about 80% of a charge. Since I purchased these Tenergy batteries, I have also purchased a few other manufactures of rechargeable batteries and they just don't stand the test of time like the Tenergy batteries. That's why I'm back to buy more. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ work well, lasting much longer than other brands I've tried *by G***H on July 6, 2024* I tried the cheap route first and bought the PowerOwl 8-pack battery + charger combo.

So here is the story. I shopped around for a while in my usual detailed and systematic way and finally decided to purchase these batteries, starting with a 4 pack of AAAs on April 12, 2017. The batteries worked well, so on July 17, 2017, I purchased a pack of 12 AAs. So far, everything was just fine, but I was about to make a mistake that would lead to the eventual destruction of the 16 batteries I had already purchased - and the 36 batteries I was about to order. On December 21, 2017, I ordered a 12 pack of AAAs and a 12 pack of AAs. Unfortunately, I failed to read, and or heed, the instructions printed on the side of every one of the batteries, "Caution: battery can explode or cause burns if overcharged, disassembled or exposed to fire. Do not mix with used or other battery chemistries (alkaline, lithium). Even though I had previously habitually labeled new batteries with their date of purchase, etc., I didn't even think about it when I received the 24 new batteries, and simply put them into service with my existing batteries. By April 2018, I was increasingly disappointed with these batteries because I had already had a few individual battery failures. But I needed more batteries and didn't have time to perform new research to find a new brand, so I placed another order for 12 AAAs on April 26, 2018. The April 2018 order meant that I owned 52 of these batteries, 24 AAs and 28 AAAs. Once again, the new batteries were not labeled before being placed into circulation with the existing 36 batteries. My rechargeable batteries receive heavy use, and previously battery sets purchased at the local grocery store had provided sometimes amazing longevity (up to about 10 years), apparently because I was taking steps to ensure they were recharged regularly (at about 50% discharge). I had hoped to have similar success with the new batteries, but I had never purchased batteries in such large sets. While the differing brand, newness, and external appearance had made it easy to recognize which of my old batteries belonged together, there was no way to tell which of the new batteries had been purchased at what time. By mid-summer, 2018, the new batteries were failing at an alarming rate. Returning to Amazon to read the reviews, I hoped to find out if other customers were having similar problems and to try to figure out if I had missed reviews discussing such a large failure rate. But there were virtually no reports of failures, let alone enough failures to qualify as a rate. Disappointed and frustrated, research began to find a more reliable replacement. Then one day I happened to carefully read the second sentence of the caution warning on each battery, "Do not mix with used or other battery chemistries (alkaline, lithium)." Suddenly, it was clear that although the batteries had not been mixed with other battery chemistries or brands, 3 sets of new batteries had been intermixed with 2 sets of used batteries. Then it became clear why the batteries were failing at such a high rate, the used batteries were apparently damaging the new batteries, and or the new batteries were apparently damaging the used batteries. In an attempt to recover, I tested my remaining batteries and created sets with similar voltages immediately after charging, but the damage had been done. Today, some 20 months after the first order, only about 8 of the original 52 batteries continue to take a charge, and even these continue to fail at an accelerated rate despite the attempt to match them. Therefore, it appears re-purchasers of these - or any other sets of rechargeable batteries - should be diligent about labeling or taking other steps to ensure that new and used batteries are not utilized together to power equipment. Labeling rechargeable batteries with date, order number, tally marks, spray painting, etc. may take a few minutes, but the batteries, and money, you save will be your own. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tenergy Premium Rechargeable AA Batteries, High Capacity 2500mAh NiMH AA Battery, AA Cell Battery, 12 Pack - Tenergy Premium Rechargeable AAA Batteries, High Capacity 1000mAh NiMH AAA Batteries, AAA Cell Battery, 12 Pack - Tenergy TN160 12-Bay Smart Battery Charger for AA/AAA NiMH/NiCd Rechargeable Batteries with Refresh Function --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3048613-tenergy-premium-rechargeable-aa-batteries-high-capacity-2500mah-nimh-aa](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3048613-tenergy-premium-rechargeable-aa-batteries-high-capacity-2500mah-nimh-aa) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
