As of today only a few of the remaining 19 are still functional. After a couple of slow-drain cycles they tend to die. I primarily used them in slow drain devices, such as bluetooth temperature sensors.
Source: I have many years of experience with alkaline, NiMH, NiCad, LiPO, LiFePO, and Li-ion batteries. I attempted to analyze and charge the "dead" AAA batteries in multiple chargers, but none were able to revive them.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend these batteries.
I was merely just sharing my own personal experience with them, and my own experience has been enough to convince me to never buy them again.
However, there is a small possibility that they have improved the quality of these batteries since I purchased them almost 2 years ago (May 2021).

Still, I have yet to do any of this on my eneloops or eneloop rewraps, I just ended up tossing the Chinese batteries away. I like the reliability and longevity of Japanese batteries, I still have plenty of eneloops I bought 8 years ago that still works really well.

I wouldn't touch 90% of scamazon's cheap imported junk, just like I wouldn't touch the Dollar Store's cheap imported junk. You get what you pay for.
An alternative? Stick with Eneloop for batteries. For chargers, get an XTAR VC4SL -- it does AA, AAA, 18650, 21700, and many many more. And it's powered off USB, so virtually any 12w+ USB charger will handle it.
Or buy Amazon's stuff, and risk non-functional products...or worse, ones that catch fire.

Now, you must be using those SMART chargers. I prefer the stupid charger that just charge. Anyway, the SMART chargers are ignorant that zero volt battery still can be charge and will work just like normal once they are charged. The "SMART" chargers just refuse to charge when they see zero volt, kinda like Apple refuse to fix your broken product and tell you to buy new one from them... oh you just got your stupid phone yesterday, than we'll replace your NEW iphone with this used iphone for a 2nd chance to fail on you. (too many idiots around me using iphone so I know about these things)
I never experience zero volt rechargeable battery before but these last few years I've been getting the same zero volt rechargeable battery. One way to trick these new and MODERN SMART chargers is to put a zero volt battery with a normal battery in parallel. It'll detect there is a voltage and will charge both the regular and zero volt battery back to normal.
I mark the batteries that got zero volt. After they are recharged they all seem to work normal and the zero volt problem seem to go away too. And if you have the 18650 battery that get zero volt, oh that one is a little smarter so you have to get a little smarter too. The 18650 have a high heat breaker behind the top nipple. It's so smart that sometimes it get trigger too when the heat isn't so high. Most 18650 nipple have openings, get a pin and shove into that opening to reset that heat breaker and you should get voltage again.
Now for another thing our MODERN and SMART society brought us is will SD delete my post again. Need to let the butt hurt babies get their butt hurt from VIOLENT words. Butt hurt grow brain cells.
