Rechargeable AA battery preference?

[Keymn]

My experience with years of using AA NiMH is that even "brand names" have their flaws. The latest set of 8 Duracell batteries show that 2 of them seems weaker than the others after 6 months of use, and get exhausted faster than the others. On the other hand, the EBL seem to be more consistent between each other.

Great recommendation. The only way batteries are tested is by our own experience…stay with it, if it works for you.
Btw Amazon brand rechargeable batteries in my experience discharged while in storage. The box store brand batteries may change manufacture…they could change quality without notice.
