EBL AA Lithium Batteries, 1.5V 3000mWh Rechargeable AA Batteries Long Lasting Double A Battery 8 Pack

The media could not be loaded. I love these batteries! I own maybe $200-$300 worth of these batteries. I have stopped buying disposable batteries once I became aware of the lithium ion batteries in the AA and AAA size. I use them in kids toys, thermostats, flash lights, outdoor thermometers, indoor air quality monitors, walkie talkies and etc... I no longer worry about burning through disposable AA and AAA batteries. I have most likely already achieved a full ROI on these batteries. These batteries hold their charge as well. For example, you can charge them and then let them sit on the shelf for months without loosing a charge. As far as fit, they do seem to be a little bulkier then a standard AA or AAA battery. However, I have never had an issue getting them into a battery compartment on a device.

Batteries work great, but had less than 1 month and 2 batteries have died...returnedCompany very responsive and apologetic! Sent replacements, RECOMMEND!!!

I purchased these to use in my trail cameras, as they cost only slightly more than Energizer lithium AA batteries, and the cameras like to eat batteries, especially when it gets colder in late October and November in the U.P. of Michigan. These batteries paid for themselves the first time I swapped them out with freshly charged batteries, which was my goal. These rechargeable have the typical lithium power curve in that they hold their voltage up until the the last day or so, then they drop like a rock, just like normal Li batteries. The biggest difference between these and regular Li batteries is that these charge to 1.5-1.53 volts, whereas regular lithium are typically 1.7+ v out of the package. Depending on the device, that might cause issues as many expect Li batteries to start at a higher voltage. Some devices allow you to pick the battery type, and if that's the case you should select alkaline if it's an option. Speaking of alkaline, these rechargeables work considerably better than standard batteries.These don't hold their charge as long as regular Li batteries, but the fact that they can be recharged obviously negates that a bit. My trail cameras are about 1.5 hours away, but the way things timed out it didn't cause an issue, and I was able to just swap out another fully charged set whenever I was in the area.Now to the reasons why I can't give these 5 stars. As mentioned, the fully charged rate of 1.5ish might cause issues. The second is that not all of the batteries seem to hold their charge at the same rate. I bought 6 packs, so tracking this down to individual batteries is going to be a pain. But right off the charger some seem to discharge quicker just sitting there than others do. Two of the sets I purchased came with the charger. The chargers are pretty cheesy and take quite a while to top off the batteries, and I haven't tried any other chargers. My biggest complaint with the batteries is the fact that there seems to be two versions, as I was sent both. One version has gold colored contacts, and the other doesn't. The version with the gold contacts is physically shorter by about .5+ mm or so (maybe a touch more). That might not sound like a big deal, but when they're stacked in a battery tray, it adds up and the shorter batteries don't put as much pressure on the tray contacts. I have one camera that won't work with any of the gold tipped batteries so I have to pay attention to this. The final thing with these to be aware of is that they are slightly fatter than regular AA batteries. Again, depending on the device, it can make it difficult sliding them into the battery slot. On my cameras, I have to be careful to get them in/out, and I need to pay attention to make sure they're fully inserted and making contact as once installed, they won't slide at all.All-in-all they do the job I wanted them to do. I do need to track down the weaker batteries and get them out of the rotation. It took a while to notice this was an issue so I'm past my return window. I may sound negative on these, but the 4 star rating should tell the story. I just want others to be aware of a few issues. I'm not sure if I'd buy these again, or try another brand. I have a feeling most of them are the same batteries with different wrappers so not sure it will make a difference.

I bought these EBL Li-ion AA 3000 mWh batteries to power a Christmas LED lights wreath during this season, unfortunately the charge only lasted 3 nights for a 6hr period each night. In addition, I purchased a set of EBL Ni-Mh AA 2800 mAh for the same purpose and these have given me a total of 13 nights of lighting of the same period. I have used the same EBL universal charger for both. I will return the Li-ion batteries and intend to write a 5 STAR evaluation of the Ni-Mh AA batteries.UPDATE: I bought 8 of these AA Li-ion batteries with the 4-bay EBL universal charger. 3 operate normally charge after charge, 5 lost charge quickly. 3 of these 5 will not recharge and the remaining 2 will recharge quickly ( 3 min ) but have no effective charge. NOT RELIABLE! Evaluation down to 1 STAR

These are a great alternative to NiMH batteries. They provide 1.5V which won't throw "low battery" errors in your electronics like NiMH, and they don't have the self-discharge issues of NiMH batteries during storage. I a,ready have the EBL dual charger that will charge both Li and NiMH batteries. They have slightly less capacity than NiMH, but this is partially mitigated by being nearly fully charged when you take them out of storage. Imuse these in my weather stations and aviation headsets, which seem to chew through NiMH batteries quickly.

Update, the seller unexpectedly sent a full refund. It's nice to see a company stand behind their products no matter what.I only used EBL brand rechargeables at home and work in flashlights, smart cameras-locks, but this series of lithium-ion red ones have disappointed me. After a full charge on the EBL brand charger, they don't seem to last a week or two. I have bought over several dozens, and it can't be a coincidence that they are all not long-lasting as I hoped, especially when I started recommending that my work use them. Skip these, but I haven't noticed any issues with other EBL series of rechargeable batteries.

After initial problems finding a charger to work with these batteries, I was sent a link to a compatible charger. I was also contacted about my problems and was send an additional charger. Everything is working very well now.
