Also, I just checked on of my personal Amazon Basics AAA batteries that I purchased less than a year ago -- it shows MADE IN MALAYSIA. So, no, they are not Made in China.
Finally, the person that said he bought them and half of them leaked... okay, there are over 151k reviews on Amazon with a 4.6 rating, and there are a BUNCH of third parties that have all tested these highly, AND I personally own them, and none of that has been true for me. The batteries that guy bought sound like counterfeits to me. So, believe who you want in this thread, but I can personally recommend these. In fact, I just ordered another 12 pack.

A low price doesn't necessarily equate to a good value, just as a high price doesn't mean a bad one.

They state: "maintains 80% capacity for 24 months" which is better for low drain usage (though work fine for high drain as well). Higher capacity NiMH only have their higher capacity for a shorter time and are best for high drain usage soon after being charged, After months, they will soon have about the same capacity as the lower rated 800 mAh LSD batteries.
I bought a 12-pack of the Amazon Basics AAA in July 2020 for $13.50 and they were all fine (mainly used in headlamps, remotes, etc.), so I don't need more. But, these were the white ones made in China, and not these green ones.
EDIT: I can see on my older battery that the recommended charge rate is 80 mA for 15 hours, so I can imagine that those who may have problems with losing charge capacity after several charges may have used a quick charger which may degrade the battery sooner than using a slower charge rate. (I've been using Eneloop and Sanyo chargers which charge AAA batteries at 150 mA).
