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.

Good cells, but not quite at the claimed capacities.
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.

De todos modos, necesitábamos más pilas AAA y encontré este paquete grande de 24 unidades. La caja incluye 6 sets de 4 pilas, cada uno empaquetado en plástico.
Probé algunas de ellas y todo está perfecto. Espero que duren mucho tiempo.
