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 | B07NWVWKRG | | Batteries | 16 AA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #785 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #22 in AA Batteries | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (128,455) | | Date First Available | August 1, 2019 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Item model number | 240AAHCB | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Product Dimensions | 0.56 x 0.56 x 1.97 inches | ## Product Details - **Battery Capacity:** 2400 Milliampere Hour (mAh) - **Battery Cell Composition:** NiMH - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Number of Batteries:** 16 AA batteries required. - **Recommended Uses For Product:** High power or continuous drain devices like game controllers, wireless devices, toys, and more ## Images ![Amazon Basics 16-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/81mg-nl+iKL.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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable High Capacity Rechargeable AA Batteries Great Value *by P***D on January 11, 2026* The Amazon Basics rechargeable AA NiMH batteries have been very reliable over the years.

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, 16-Pack, 2400 mAh, NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AAA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 850 mAh, Pre-Charged, Recharge up to 500x, 24-Pack --- ## 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.pt/products/252085865-amazon-basics-16-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/252085865-amazon-basics-16-pack-rechargeable-aa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
