Review: Impressive cell at a very fair price - Initial Impressions: The batteries arrived nicely packaged in a cardboard box, with six, individually wrapped packages of four cells each. My testing process for new cells is pretty extensive and these desertcart Basic’s pre-charged cells, at least on the initial round of testing prove to be of very good quality. All 24 cells were weighed for consistency. All of the cells measured in at 27 grams, plus or minus 0.03 grams indicating that the manufacturing quality for the active material is highly consistent. The 24 cells then were put through an initial capacity discharge test utilizing an ISDT 24 channel charger. 20 of the 24 cells showed an initial capacity ranging from 1890 to 1920 mAH, and four cells showed an initial capacity of between 1310 and 1400 mAH. The cells are rated by desertcart as 2000 mAH cells, so the 20 cells came pre-charged at 95% full. I assume that the four outliers were not charged fully at the factory. All 24 cells were once again placed in the ISDT charger, this time, set for activation charge, where the cells are charged and discharged three times in succession to distribute the electrolyte equally within the cell, and fully charge the cell to its maximum capacity. All 24 cells charged to beyond the desertcart rated capacity with the average capacity at 2130 mAH. The fourth round of testing involved a torture test utilizing a West Mountain Radio Computerized Battery Analyzer. Each battery underwent a mission profile test, at constant current, until the output voltage dropped to cutoff. Again, each battery, under constant load, exhibited a measured capacity of between 1920 and 1975 mAH. The fifth round of testing was a random selection of four cells to be put back on the CBA and a discharge test ran, again at constant current, plotting the results of all four cells on the same graph. All four cells had a discharge profile that is extremely consistent, and flat across the entire time until the cell was exhausted. The sixth round involves a self-discharge test, again four random cells were selected and were measured for their open-circuit voltage. After 48 hours, these same cells were measured again, and their open-circuit voltage compared. The self-discharge was again, very consistent, and was on average 0.03V from the initial measurement. While 48 hours is a very short period to test for self-discharge over time, it’s encouraging to see that there was little in the way of voltage loss. I set two random cells aside, that will be measured at 30, 60, 90, and 180 days to see if this low discharge is maintained over an extended period of time. At this point, after the testing performed, I would rate these cells as excellent quality, and an excellent price point. Most of my cells are Eneloop, and I was curious to see how the desertcart cells would perform compared to the Eneloop and the Ikea Ladda cells, which are the same. I’ve been using rechargeable cells since the NiCd days, as there is something inherently wrong with the idea of buying something only to toss it in the trash a few days or weeks later. Add to that all Alkaline batteries will eventually leak and destroy what they are installed in, I am happy to see that there is a lower cost, quality cell available. Only time will tell if they are truly an equal to the Eneloop brand of battery, most of mine are still going strong after almost 15 years of pretty demanding service.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the "Black" and the "White" AmazonBasics rechargeable batteries?**
A: I purchased the white label 1900mAh batteries and black labeled 2000mAh batteries several years ago.  Contrary to other's comments, the white batteries are still charging up to full capacity, and the black batteries have all lost significant capacity.  White labels say "made in japan" and black labels "made in china".  Mfg Date of black batteries is AUG2014, and white batteries have "201409" imprinted.  These have all been charged in the same MH-C9000 WizardOne from the beginning.

**Q: What's the recommended recharge current for the AA and AAA? I'm using a lacrosse bc-700 with three possible charge settings: 200mA, 500mA or 700mA . 
According to the lacrosse manual 200mA is generally suggested, but this is slow, 13 hours for AA. So i wondered about using a higher current to reduce the time, but would…**
A: Both of the earlier answers are correct.  I'd recommend slower settings as often as possible.  Degradation of rechargeable batteries is incremental.  Each charge very slightly decreases the maximum charge the battery will hold.  So, with the higher charge rates, your battery's maximum capacity drop from say a 2,000 mA capacity to 1,900 mA capacity to 1,800 ... significantly faster.  I'll keep mine close to their rated capacity longer, thank you.NOTE:  "Smart" chargers are MUCH easier on rechargeables than are the others and they more consistently charge to full capacity.  They aren't cheap but I consider them well worth the extra cost  I NEVER use a "dumb" charger.  Beware! Some manufacturers falsely claim "smart charger;" Energizer for example. Look for "independent charge channels" or "Delta V detection." For the most budget minded, I recommend the four battery Sony BCG34HLD2RN.  I also like the La Crosse BC-700 for it's higher number of feature at a modestly higher cost.  I've owned both and love them.

**Q: Can these batteries recharge with a Duracell or Energizer charger? I don't want to have to purchase a new charger if I don't have too.**
A: AmazonBasics Pre-Charged batteries can be recharged using any good-quality Smart charger designed for NiMH cells. But for longer battery lifespan, avoid ultra-fast (15- or 30-minute) chargers and Dumb (overnight) slow chargers. Most of the Duracell and Energizer chargers you see on the market only charge in pairs, which you should avoid.One inexpensive but Smart charger I often recommend is the ASIN:B003GS6FIE Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HLD. It can recharge each cell individually, which is much better than the official ASIN:B004NSUMTO AmazonBasics NiMH Charger

**Q: After battery used up, is it better to charge right away and store (possibly years), or to leave discharged and charge prior to using again?**
A: Definitely you want them in a charged state as they will maintain longer. You also want to regularly refresh batteries in storage (once a year is fine, even for non LSD batteries) and once or twice should be enough, using a smart charger to test the batteries would be fine and if they need further refreshing it would be easy to do so. Just don't refresh them then test them as testing will 'charge' the batteries before depleting them. You could refresh the non LSD batteries every 3 months but if you are storing them i think as long as you had charged them before storing them in a cool place around (60-70F) and regularly check up on the batteries. LSD batteries don't really require refreshing as much as the charge might be at 70% after non use (Eneloops survive longer according to their info) and you don't really have to refresh them but i think at least refreshing those once a year is perfectly fine. However, i would like to add that storing rechargeable batteries is no better than storing Alkalines. If you bought them you might as well use them, you can even cycle through the batteries that you are not using to keep them in shape and that way there is little need to refresh them. There are times where you might not want to use a certain device or are able to go without using batteries but since i regularly use flashlights, i'd prefer to have rechargeables that i can charge thousands of times (with the proper maintenance) can last up to 10 years or more and i won't have to spend much on wattage (even 12 watts per light bulb is quite much when used in series) so i have found that using flashlights during the night is not a really bad thing and soon i plan on putting some leds in my home powered by NiMH batteries. That way i can keep them running indefinitely without much cost in the end.
