While Eneloop NiMH will outperform/outlast generic NiMH rechargeables by a factor of 5x, they are only about 1-2x the cost. However, genuine Eneloop NiMH batteries will maintain >70% charge for 10 years when stored and can be recharged 2100 cycles minimum. Generic Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are good for ~500 charge cycles and typically last for 2 to 4 years. And you wouldn’t lose much performance: The best rechargeables can power your devices on a single charge for just as long as most high-quality single-use batteries can, but at a fraction of the cost over time.“ But you could buy just 12 rechargeable batteries every four years (the average life span of some popular rechargeable batteries) instead of the 188 disposables you would otherwise need. That means the average US household burns through about 47 batteries per year. Going by a 2012 case study for the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, we can estimate that about 4 billion disposable batteries are shipped to the US each year. They’re safe and reliable, they create less environmental waste, and as we explain in the Wirecutter guide to rechargeable batteries, they pay for themselves after about six recharges, even with the added cost of a wall charger (for which we also have a recommendation). Even for emergencies, Eneloop NiMH (non-pro white label) offer a more affordable & more eco friendly alternative for use in locations unlikely to drop below -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20C).įrom the New York Times: “In most cases, today you’re better off using rechargeable batteries over disposable ones. It is generally not recommended to use non-rechargeable batteries. Leakage and corrosion can occur even if they're stored outside of a device, in their packaging, or in a plastic bag.
