Recommended!!! - I was tired of constantly buying and throwing away disposable batteries for my kids' toys, TV remotes, and wireless mouse. I decided to make the switch to rechargeable batteries, and these desertcart Basics AA High-Capacity Rechargeable Batteries have been an absolute game-changer. The moment they arrived, I was impressed. The fact that they are "pre-charged" meant I could use them right out of the box. I popped two into my son's battery-guzzling toy, and it's been running strong for days. This convenience is a huge plus, as I didn't have to wait for them to charge before putting them to use. The "high-capacity" claim is totally legit. They hold their charge incredibly well, and I've found that they last significantly longer in my devices than the standard disposable batteries I used to buy. The value of this 8-pack is fantastic. I have enough to power a few devices at once and a set of spares charging, so I'm never left without power when I need it most. I also appreciate the peace of mind that comes with using rechargeable batteries. I'm saving money in the long run and, more importantly, I'm reducing waste. This pack is a win-win for my wallet and the environment. The "appearance may vary" note on the product page is not an issue at all—the batteries inside are the same great quality. If you're looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly power solution for all your household gadgets, look no further. These desertcart Basics rechargeables are a fantastic investment that will save you time, money, and hassle. I highly recommend them to anyone who is still relying on single-use batteries. Review: Reliable Rechargeables That Keep Going Strong - Picked up this 12 pack about a year and a half ago, and they’ve been great for all sorts of little gadgets around the house like my digital scales, a kitchen timer, and remote controls. AAA batteries aren’t the ones I use the most, but when I do need them it’s nice knowing I’ve always got charged ones ready. They’ve been really reliable so far. Not a single dud, and I haven’t noticed any drop in how long they last after plenty of recharges. They work perfectly with my quick charger and top up quickly. For the price, they’re great value and feel solidly made. Having twelve in the pack makes life easy. I can rotate them around, recharge at my own pace, and never worry about running out mid use. It’s also nice not having to keep throwing away old batteries all the time. ## Features - High Capacity: 8-pack of pre-charged AAA size rechargeable NiMH batteries for office or home use. 850 mAh, 1.2 Volts - Device Compatible: For TV remotes, alarm-clocks, toys, mouse, thermometers, keyboards, toothbrushes, shavers & more - Long Lasting: Can be recharged up to 500 times with minimal power loss. Provide consistent discharge performance - Low Self Discharge: Maintain 80% capacity for 1 year due to leak-free design. Ideal to power household appliances - Easy Use: AAA batteries ship in easy-to-open packaging For use at home, at the office, outdoors or while travelling - Recyclable: These AAA rechargeable batteries can be recycled at end of lifecycle. Note: Appearance of batteries may vary - NOTE: To avoid damage or undesired rapid discharge of the batteries, DO NOT MIX: non-rechargeable with rechargeable batteries; fully-charged with mid- to low-charged batteries; new with old batteries; different mAh capacities; different brands - Ni-MH Battery Tips: Verify device compatibility with 1.2V Ni-MH batteries. Runtime may be shorter than 1.5V alkaline batteries. Check proper fit as Ni-MH batteries are slightly larger than alkaline batteries to comply with IEC standards. 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 | B00HZV9YE0 | | Antenna Location | Camera | | Battery Capacity | 850 | | Battery Cell Type | NiMH | | Battery capacity | 850 | | Battery cell composition | NiMH | | Best Sellers Rank | 31 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 1 in Rechargeable Household Batteries | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Brand Name | Amazon Basics | | Compatible Phone Models | All | | Country of Origin | Malaysia | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 96,431 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00841710105155 | | Item Dimensions | 10 x 10 x 44 millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.43 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Model Name | AAA | | Model Number | HR-4UTHA-AMZN (8P) | | Number of Batteries | 8 AAA batteries required. | | Number of batteries | 8 AAA batteries required. | | Recommended uses for product | Camera | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 841710105155 | | Unit Count | 8.0 count | | Unit count | 8.0 count | | Voltage | 1.2 Volts | ## Product Details - **Battery capacity:** 850 - **Battery cell composition:** NiMH - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Number of batteries:** 8 AAA batteries required. - **Recommended uses for product:** Camera ## Images ![Amazon Basics 8-Pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 850 mAh, 1.2V, Recharge up to 500x Times, Pre-Charged - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613DDOKbm2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What exactly makes these "high capacity"? Isn't 800 mAh standard?** A: Duracell and Energizer alkaline AAA batteries are 1150 and 1200 mAh respectively, so claiming 850 mAh is high capacity is deceptive. **Q: what type of charger do you recommend?** A: XTAR. Check them out. Great chargers. **Q: Have anyone measured the AAA High-Capacity ones? 800 mah is not high capacity so I wonder if Amazon's description is in error.** A: I ran a batch of four brand new Amazon Basics High-Capacity AAA batteries through four passes of Refresh/Analyze on a MAHA MH-C9000 charger with a 400ma charge / 200ma discharge rate. All cells exceeded the 800 mahr rating on the cells but one was below the advertised 850 mahr on the first cycle. All improved with additional cycles as has been reported by others. The final numbers were 893 mahr, 863 mahr, 852 mahr and 867 mahr.Normal capacity AAA low discharge nimh's are rated at 750 mahr. The 800 mahr rating is considered high capacity for a AAA cell. The highest capacity low discharge nimh AAA cell I can find is rated at 950 mahr but they cost a lot more than these cells. These Amazon Basics are good value for the money. **Q: Can these be recharged using a standard "Energizer" NiMH battery charger?** A: I have had no problems with either the Duracell or Energizer battery chargers. As long as your charger is NiMH compatible you will not have any problems. Your charger should have a label which tells you what battery types it is compatible with. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality at good price.

The 850 mAh high‑capacity rating gives them strong, consistent performance, especially in devices that drain power quickly — things like remotes, wireless mice, kids’ toys, LED lights and small gadgets. They arrive pre‑charged and ready to use, which is always a bonus. The charge retention is impressive too; they hold power well when stored and don’t self‑discharge as quickly as older NiMH batteries. After several recharge cycles, they still perform like new. The build quality feels solid, and the 24‑pack offers fantastic value for anyone who uses AAA batteries regularly. Pairing them with a decent charger makes them far more economical and environmentally friendly than disposable batteries. If you want dependable, long‑lasting and cost‑effective rechargeable AAA batteries, this Amazon Basics pack is a brilliant choice — powerful, consistent and excellent value. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AAA Batteries, 8-Pack, 850 mAh, NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, Recharge up to 500x Times, Pre-Charged - Amazon Basics Rechargeable AA Batteries, 8-Count, 2000 mAh, NiMH, Recharge up to 1000x Times, Pre-Charged - Amazon Basics Rechargeable Battery Charger for AA & AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries with USB Charging Port, Black --- ## 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.co.uk/products/48717725-amazon-basics-8-pack-rechargeable-aaa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48717725-amazon-basics-8-pack-rechargeable-aaa-nimh-high-capacity-batteries) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
