I think this is a bargain. Fairly high capacity rechargeable batteries for £3.24 delivered. Excellent reviews on them too!

had to throw away far too many of these after not even using them for that long. Tried to refresh them but they were completely dead. They also discharge really fast. Will stick to eneloop.

I've ordered 20 of these year ago, can confirm, they will not hold charge. Some of them dead,will not even charge. Now I only use them for remote. Poorest batteries I've ever had...stick with something better (cheap alternative lidl eneloops)

bought more than enough of these 7dayshop batteries, disappointed, never really at the capacity they say on the box, discharge quickly.
would go with these instead: http://www.vapextech.co.uk/batteries/standard-rechargables/aaa/
sometimes a bit cheaper on their ebay shop.

I've never had a problem, but if you want better then go for the green version of these which are similar to eneloop. capacity are quoted as lower on the greens but I find they last longer so I only buy those now :smile:

You can buy 2 greens for the same unit price, they seem to last longer longterm though hold a little less

are you quite sure you read these as AAA (triple A) batteries, and not double A?

For AAA batteries you won't find many with a larger capacity. The physical size of the thing means that a random AAA battery would have about half this capacity!
I would rather use throw away AAA despite the environmental and economic cost, because of the tendency for these rechargeables to lose charge over time, feeling here seems to be that is tre of this brand. Most devices which take AAA are low energy consumption so the batteries last ages. My Logitech mouse and keyboard run on a pair for 18 months, a pair in my remote controls last years.
Recently I bought some of these (mine don't take AA though) LED candles and wonder whether rechargeable batteries might be the way to go because of the vast number involved [4 candles each with 3 AAA's in]. despite having low energy consuming LED there is a electromagnet drawing current and the speed on the things after a month has noticeably slowed.
Thoughts?

I've been using the greens for my bike lights for years.

i have the green batteries others have mentioned above. they work quite well for me. i also have black and silver uniross ones which i use more. the green ones are fine for remotes and clocks etc. the uniross are better for the 360 joypads (last longer with heavy use)
The capacity claim is dubious at best and these will only cause frustration - do yourself a favour and buy LSD rechargeables - any brand - instead.

Would you risk 7dayshop LSD batteries? And thanks! I wasn't aware LSD batteries existed.

Difficult to say - although I have some you can never be sure the current ones are the same. So far the best value ones have been from Lidl, but obviously only every six months or so when they come around. Vapextech have a good reputation; currently £5.40 for 4 including postage; probably cheaper per cell if you buy more.

Wouldn't touch these. 1100mAh in a AAA is never a good thing. High capacity rechargeables tend to discharge faster and have a lower cycle life. My pound land ones are 350mAh lol.
Now I only buy LSD batteries. The Japanese Eneloops are the best you can get and are definitely worth the extra. Buy cheap, buy twice.
