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).

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank robstak
I have probably 30+ AAs and AAAs from amazon and enloop.
honest to god could not tell you the difference in discharge time or longevity. ive had them all for several years at this point.
and i have never had one leak ever.
so i say get whatever is cheaper because to me they do the same work.
these are same price per battery?
Are they better?
NM
Drained fast, not charged, and leaked...
I have more than 80 rechargeables including Amazon Basic AA batteries made in Japan,
they are working well and strong.
This is why will never buy these AAA again.

NiHM is an investment and a good charger is part of that. Can't invest $20-$40 for a charger to keep your NiMH lasting for YEARS? Then just stick to alkaline or Lithium and save yourself some money.
