Test/Review of Amazon basic AA

Amazon basic AA



Official specifications:

  • 1.5 Volt Alkaline Batteries
  • 3-year shelf life so you can store for emergencies or use immediately




Amazon has both NiMH and alkaline batteries in their basic series, here I check the alkaline AA cells.











Like all alkalines the capacity depends on the load.









Conclusion

Compared to the other alkalines I have tested these are in the good end with performance, but the promised 3 year life time is a bit short for modern alkaline cells.



Notes and links

How is the test done and how to read the charts
Compare to other AA/AAA batteries: Alkaline/NiMH/Lithium

Thank you for the review. I’ve been looking at various Amazon batteries lately. Your reviews really help.

Interesting that Amazon uk list these with a “There is a newer model of this item:” note. The 20 pack is not available yet, but they do have the 48 pack in stock.

The newer cells are “made in Indonesia using Japanese technology” and promise a 10 year, anti leak shelf life:
