EBL Rechargeable AA Batteries Lithium with Charger, 3000mWh 1.5V Double A Lithium ion Battery, 1600 Cycles Long Lasting AA Lithium Rechargeable Batteries 8 Pack for Blink Outdoor Camera

Bought these in Mar 2025 with an Amazon coupon that brought the price to $20, which is a good price for 8 rechargeable lithium 1.5V AA batteries much less including a charger.I just got these batteries so I can't say much about their performance yet (hopefully I'll update after a few months of use), but I've had good experience with other EBL products: some USB-rechargeable Lithium 1.5V batteries. (See the end of the review for that update)The batteries come in a case which is nice, but I would have preferred two 4 cell cases instead (just a remark - not a real complaint). I also don't care much for the kiddie cartoon on the case... I'll have to peel that off and clean it up (update: the sticker peeled off easily and cleanly).Now for the actual stuff that matters:- charger is documented as supporting NiCD, NiMH, and 1.5V Lithium AA/AAA batteries. It worked very well for my NiMH cells.- the charger works for other brands 1.5V rechargeable lithiums. At least it worked for my XTAR and "imuto" (?) brand cells. But I can't say 100% that it would work across the board (it probably doesn't)- each slot in the charger is independent, so you can mix-n-match battery types - very nice.- when I bought this I expected that the charger would also handle AA/AAA format 3.7V lithium ion batteries, but it doesn't. Note that the Amazon page doesn't make that claim - I just got it in my head for whatever reason. So this isn't a criticism, more like a heads up for others like me that might jump to the same conclusion.- no mention about charging the EBL **USB-rechargeable** 1.5V lithium cells I already have (with a USB port right in the battery). So I'll avoid doing that, but it would be nice to know one way or the other (update: EBL says the USB-chargeable 1.5V lithium cells are not compatible with this charger).- I like that the charger gets power from a USB-C port so I don't have to use yet another clunky wall wart (**note that no power adapter is included**). I can use one of my multiport USB chargers. Nothing particularly special like QC 2.0 or USB-PD is needed - you just need a port that will supply 5V at 2A. That is commonly supported except in very old USB chargers.- the LEDs on the charger are sub-par. To be able to see whether the LEDs are red or green you have to be looking straight down at the charger or have it propped up at an angle.One other thing to note is that there is no mention on the battery itself that it is rechargeable! So make sure to mark them, or your kids (or whoever) will likely throw them in the trash/recycle bin (see the photo of 3 batteries that shows all sides). I can't believe EBL overlooked this.Finally, I'm curious what the difference between these batteries and the red EBL 1.5V lithium rechargeables is. Both are spec'ed as 3000mWh (which is equivalent to 2000mAh at 1.5V). Are they the same but in a different wrapper or is there some difference in specs that we should understand? EBL should make it easy to understand.Update: I have had a chance to do some capacity tests and the results are very good! The batteries are rated at 3000 mWh which is equivalent to 2000 mAh. I put a couple fully charged cells in gizmos that draw about 200 mA (as I configured the device) until the cell's voltage drops below 1.0V. It counts the mAh the cell delivered - I posted a photo of the results: 2233 mAh for one cell and 2109 mAh for the other! These results match what an XTAR VX4 charger came up with, so these cells are also chargeable in a VX4 if you have one. I'm bumping the stars for this review from 4 to 5 due to their excellent performance. There's a $10 coupon being offered by Amazon today... so I bought another set even though I don't need them right now!

As a long-time user of rechargeables, this is now my fourth time buying this exact EBL battery and charger combo. I primarily use these in Eufy smart deadbolt locks, which see frequent daily use and demand a lot from batteries: powering the motorized deadbolt, WiFi receiver, backlit keypad, and logic board. These locks are far more battery-intensive than the electronic keypad manual-twist models I used to prefer, but these EBL 3000mWh cells handle the job impressively well.For reference, I installed my first set in November 2025, replacing fresh Duracell AAs that only lasted 6 weeks. As of end of March, all 4 locks are still running strong with these batteries showing full charge in the locks app. Even if they only hit 6 months per charge, I’d be satisfied — but it looks like they’ll last significantly longer.Compared to EBL’s red 1200-cycle batteries, this white/green/red version is rated for 1600 cycles, which was another selling point for me.One critique: the word “Rechargeable” is printed way too small on the label. It’s barely visible, even when you know to look for it. Other family members might easily throw them out thinking they’re regular AAs. I had to mark mine with “RECHARGE” in permanent marker just to be safe.Wishlist: I’d love to see 12 or 24-pack battery-only options — I don’t need another charger every time.

I like EBL products. Have previously bought their NiZn rechargeables because I like the extra 1.6V voltage vs NiCd 1.2V. Now trying these Li-ion for the low self discharge rate - hopefully will have longer life with low current low activity devices like TV remotes. They give the full 1.5 volts. The EBL units come nicely packaged. I like their chargers with a charge indicator for each battery. I'm impressed with their email custimer service - I had a problem with one of the many batteries I have bought from them and they quickly took care of the issue. Note: the Li-ion batteries are curious because they have internal circuitry to drop the voltage down from the Li-ion cell's 3.7 volts to 1.5 volts. They do however need 5 volts to recharge so you have to use the supplied charger or equivalent. The EBL charger can also charge regular NiCd batteries - the charge voltage adjusts automatically.

Quite good so far!These are actual 1.5v rechargeable batteries. Not the typical NiMH 1.2-1.4v or whatever. Each battery came charged out of the box and according to 2 different multimeter measurements each one settled in at 1.57 volts which is great. They work quite well as does the charger it came with. After fully charging them I was getting a pretty consistent 1.59V on each battery which I am happy with!Edit: So after trying them out with an Audio Technica AT8022 I found that my recordings have A TON of high pitch buzzing and my recordings are absolutely horrendous. After switching back to NiMH and Alkaline it went away completely. Steer clear if you are using these for microphones as you may damage them or get tons of interference. Other than that they work VERY well with other devices,

I purchased these for our flameless candles we use every night, for approximately 2 1/2 hours each night, and have to say they are great.We previously had Nickel Cadmium rechargeable batteries in them and after just four days or so they would start dimming and I had to recharge them every week.Ever since switching to the Lithium Ion batteries we are on day four and they are still just as bright as the first day of use.They last a lot longer than NiCd or Alkaline batteries and were an excellent value for the price we paid for eight batteries and the charger included. The design is great allowing you to charge NiCd batteries in the charger as well as the Lithium Ion which gives you much better functionality.I would highly recommend this item for the name, amount of batteries, the charger and the low price.
