BONAI AAA Rechargeable NiMH Batteries for Toys, 8-Pack

Most of our house now runs on rechargeable AA batteries, so it was only a matter of time before I finally bit the bullet and did the same for AAA batteries — mainly for remote controls and, more importantly, a selection of Christmas toys my daughter received. Real-world use These Bonai AAA Ni-MH rechargeables (1.2V, 1100mAh) have slotted straight into everyday use without any issues. Although rechargeable batteries run at 1.2V rather than the 1.5V of standard alkalines, I’ve never noticed any problems in real use — remotes work as expected, and toys run perfectly normally. Charging & setup The batteries arrive pre-charged, which is useful, but I’ve always made a habit of putting them straight into the charger and topping them up to 100% before first use. I can’t say for certain whether this improves longevity, but it’s something I’ve done from day one and performance has been consistent. As with most Ni-MH batteries, they seem to settle in nicely after a few charge cycles and then deliver dependable, predictable power. Practical benefits For devices that get used regularly — toys, remotes, handheld gadgets — these are far more convenient than constantly swapping disposables. They’ve removed the irritation of flat batteries at the wrong moment, particularly with children’s toys that tend to get heavy bursts of use. Warranty A nice extra is the three-year warranty, which is activated by contacting the email address provided in the packaging. It’s reassuring to see that level of backing on rechargeable batteries, especially when you’re planning to use them long-term. Overall These have proven to be a sensible, reliable upgrade for all the smaller devices around the house. They work exactly as you’d expect, save money over time, and cut down on waste — without any noticeable compromises in everyday use.

I bought these batteries for two walkie talkie radios that have a charging port built in. The batteries arrived well packed with a full charge already in them. They are a standard fit battery without having a bulky outer case like some I have previously bought. Charging when flat was quick and speedy, delivering the full power again day after day of use. The batteries are of good quality and I found no heat in the casings when placed on the charger. Happy to recommend as good value for the job intended.

Having used the AAA Rechargeable Batteries High‑Capacity Pre‑Charged 8‑Pack from purchase through multiple household devices, here’s a detailed review from my experience as someone who regularly relies on tech (and knows the irritation when small things go wrong): ✅ What works well • They arrive pre-charged, so you can pop them into remote controls, wireless mice, or other standby devices right away. No waiting around. • For low-drain items (TV remote, wireless keyboard/mouse, smaller gadgets) they’ve held power very well — I’ve left some installed for a few weeks with no noticeable drop. • Good value for money: instead of repeatedly buying disposables, switching to rechargables like these makes sense, especially for home/office gadgets. • From broader industry info: rechargeable AAA batteries with high capacity (1000 mAh+) are increasingly competitive and give solid value for typical home use.  ⚠️ Some caveats & things to know • If you’re powering high-drain devices (e.g., high output flash, high-end toys, certain wireless gear) then the “AAA rechargeable” class can still hit limits sooner than high-capacity AA or specialist battery types. According to experts, the biggest gains tend to come in AA size or specialist cells. • Rechargeables inherently have a slightly lower nominal voltage (1.2 V) compared to standard alkaline disposables (1.5 V). Most devices will still run fine, but if the device is very sensitive it may perform a bit differently. • To get the lifespan and capacity benefits, you’ll still want a smart NiMH compatible charger, avoid mixing brands/capacities, and maintain good battery “housekeeping” (i.e., charge regularly, avoid extreme drain). Some general battery-guidance sites mention this for best results. size and capacity questionable. 🎯 My verdict As someone juggling tech, productivity gear, home office setups (and as a content creator who’s fed up with replacing little batteries all the time) — these do the job. They minimise fuss, minimise waste, and give decent performance without being premium specialist cells. Would I give them a strong recommendation? Yes — if you’re looking for: • A reliable rechargable AAA pack for everyday equipment (remotes, mice, small peripherals) • Good value when you use a lot of small batteries around your workspace/home • A switch from disposables to rechargables without needing to invest in ultra-premium battery tech Would I suggest them for the absolute “power user” or high-drain scenario? Not quite the top tier — if your device is very demanding or you need the longest possible lifespan, you might look at specialist high-capacity rechargeables (AAA or AA) with higher cycle claims and better performance in that role. But for the workspace/home gear I use — they’re solid. 🔧 Tips to get the most from them • Use a good charger designed for NiMH (avoiding cheap “timer only” chargers) so you don’t degrade performance. • If a device isn’t particularly energy-hungry, top these up and forgotten about them — they’ll hold charge better if not deeply drained constantly. • Store unused batteries in a cool dry place, and rotate use if you have many devices. • For critical small devices (camera gear, high-drain remote gear, outdoor sensors) consider keeping one pack of premium high-capacity cells as backup. In short: for home/office size and capacity daily tech use, these batteries hit the sweet spot between cost, convenience and performance. They’re not over-hyped, but they deliver. If you decide to reuse them across your workspace gear (mice, trackpads, remotes, gadgets) you’ll likely feel the benefit.

Great buy would purchase again

At less than £1 per AAA battery these batteries are cheap. You can buy a packs of four for £1 from Poundland but they don't hold the same amount of power and they are disposable. Many cheaper batteries drain very fast. Additionally, you pay much more for the branded disposables such as Duracell et al. and they also hold low power. These batteries can hold 1,100 Mah, which is roughly not much less than 50% of the power that good AA batteries can store and they can last long when in use for recording video with a camera. With 1,100Mah, you should be able to put two of these in your TV remote and simply forget about them for a good year or two. The one thing I really like about rechargeables, apart from they do save a lot of money over their lifespans, is that they are also good for the environment. Although they do create some damage, due to them being recharged one has to consider that every time a battery is recharged that would be another disposable going into the waste. Batteries contain toxic metals and end up in landfills, to contaminate land. So, over their lifespan, one rechargeable can prevent 100s of disposables from causing environmental damage. Additionally, every time one charges four rechargeables it is saving a few £s. You can argue that disposable batteries aren't that expensive but truly they are. As disposables hold lower amounts of energy, they deplete much quicker thus need more regular changing. With 1,100 Mah a full charge should last as long as at least double the amount of useage as a disposable one lasts. Therefore, for every charge, two disposables would be needed. With regular and heavy use, each rechargeable battery has the potential to save £100s. However, in reality it would be more like £10s saved per battery, over it's lifetime. I highly recommend these batteries for the reasons above, the lower environmental damage and the savings they make. 24 rechargeables for less than £20, that's a bargain well worht considering.

Absolutely impressed with the performance of these BONAI AAA Rechargeable Batteries! The pack of 16 batteries provides an excellent value for money. The pre-charged feature is a game-changer - I could use them right out of the box. These batteries hold a solid charge and have a high capacity of 1100mAh, ensuring my devices last longer between charges. The convenience of having a large pack means I always have spares available whenever needed. I've used them in various devices, from remote controls to kids' toys, and they perform flawlessly. The Ni-MH technology seems to maintain the charge well, even after multiple recharges. Not only do they save money in the long run, but they are also environmentally friendly by reducing the waste from disposable batteries. Overall, highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable, long-lasting rechargeable batteries! Warm Reminder: Batteries need to be fully charged with electricity before the first use. It's highly recommended to fully charge the batteries every three months if you don't use them. 1.2V battery is suitable for general 1.2V devices and some 1.5V devices. Not suitable for 1.5V-rated devices. This is related to the specific voltage of the device.

Have been using rechargeable cells for years starting with NiCd cells in the early 90’s through NiMh versions till now. Discovered low self-discharge cells from Energizer and Uniross about a decade ago. I was really impressed as generally rechargeables though useful was not that great due to the discharge characteristics and were flat before I knew it. The technology was too expensive at the time though and I didn’t convert. I finally converted a year or 2 ago when prices become more reasonable. Brought into Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop cells and have been using them since. Recently, I was looking for higher power versions, but found that the “Pro” variants to be prohibitively expensive. Found these on the recommendations tab and decided to give them a try. I purchased two 24 packs of AA (2800mAh) and also AAA (1100mAh). Wanted to test the actual capacity of these and put them into my charger to test. I also tested examples of my existing low discharge NiMh cells for a comparison. Have put the results in a table for you. The 3 AAA’s I tested averaged at 891 mAh which was about 13 – 23% below the 1100 mAh claimed. So these cells have come out lower than their stated capacities, while the other cells I have had broadly outperformed their stated values. On the surface, this may seem that these cells have overegged their values but you need to bear in mind that this was the first time I had used these cells and their capacitates may get better over time (The other cells tested have been through quite a few charge/discharge cycles). On another note, I have only tested 2 Bonai AA’s and 3 AAA’s plus one of each of the other brands. This is not a comprehensive test in any way shape or form but I would still say that it gives us a relatively good idea of their performances. In my opinion, even if these figures are indeed the true values of these cells, I don’t think it should put you off because if you take into account value for money, these are still really good. With regards to discharge rate, I won’t be able to know until I use these for a few months. I would give these 4 out of 5 because of the shortfall from the stated capacity but they still represent great value and I would recommend to you.

This is an update to my original review. Following posting, I was immediately contacted by the seller. They were very professional. They heard my original concern and provided an explanation that they did not transport their batteries in bulk, fully charged due to travel controls. They also confirmed that for some few packets of batteries which inadvertently ended up in subsequent longer term warehouse storage pending sale, may arrive without charge. However they also confirmed it was within the parameters of storage arrangements and that once charged the batteries would not be adversely impacted by the process. I still have the originals and they are performing very well. Although I was initially irritated I am very pleased with their customer service and I have no reason to doubt there explanation. They also immediately offered a replacement or alternative. I am really impressed with the speed of their customer focussed response. They have not asked me to reconsider my review, but I think important to share my reflections and this update. I have therefore re reviewed this product and changed the rating to high to reflect the quality of their after service. Given the speed of response and approach -I don't think I could expect any better, quite honestly. As I mentioned in the previous review, they were well packaged and well presented and I think they will continue to maintain a decent output-they charge fully through the solar panel and have continuously operated the solar lights throughout the night since I first charged them. Thanks .................................................. Its very irritating to find all 8 batteries arrived without any charge (they were all completely discharged). I only needed a few at a time so I had to charge them all before I could use the ones I required immediately and store the ones I didn't need. I was concerned that they had either been stored by the supplier too long or were corrupted or wouldn't hold any further charge. Once charged though -the ones I used seemed to be working fine. I will check the stored ones to see whether they remain charged over time. Its just not normal for batteries to be delivered depleted. I have scored them low for this reason. Shame because the packaging and presentation of the batteries looks pretty professional.

Piles reçues rapidement. Elle fonctionnent bien, et se recharge sans problème (en tout cas pour les 4 première que j'utilise déjà). Il restera à voir combien de cycles de rechargement elles supporteront pour savoir si elles sont parfaite ou non.

J'ai acheté récemment un lot de batteries AA fournies avec le chargeur pour remplacer les batteries vieillissantes de mes lampes de jardin solaire. Puisque je dispose d'un chargeur, j'ai acheté ces batteries AAA pour mes lampes de garde robe qui fonctionnaient avec des piles. Par rapport aux piles, l'éclairage est identique mais l'autonomie est un peu moindre. Par contre, je ne dois plus acheter de piles couteuses ni les porter au recyclage.

Zeer goed en van hoge kwaliteit. Ik gebruik dit in het achterlicht van mijn fiets en het is nog steeds duurzaam; ik heb het ook lange tijd in mijn tv-afstandsbediening gebruikt. Waarom geef ik 5 sterren? Ik heb deze batterijen altijd al in huis gehad, AAA- en AA-batterijen. Toen bijvoorbeeld een batterij plotseling leeg was en ik geen reservebatterij in huis had, vond ik deze hier, en ze kunnen jarenlang gebruikt worden.

Ne ho provate tante, ma queste Bonai sono tra le migliori. Hanno una capacità reale altissima, si caricano in tempi onesti e mantengono la carica per settimane. Le uso in microfoni wireless e luci LED e reggono sessioni lunghissime senza cedimenti. Dopo mesi di utilizzo costante, nessuna perdita di potenza. Anche la confezione è pratica, con le pile separate e pronte all’uso. Il fatto che siano già pre-caricate è comodo, e la compatibilità è totale con tutti i caricatori standard Ni-MH. Insomma, non sono le più economiche ma la qualità si sente. Pro: potenza reale, lunga durata, pre-caricate, ottima resa. Contro: niente da segnalare se non che finiscono in fretta perché ne usi ovunque. Se ti piace la sensazione di avere energia infinita a disposizione, queste sono la scelta giusta.

They perform very well, much better then expected for that price
