[电池] 老外关于amazon basic电池的评测，结论惊人

Are AmazonBasics just rebranded Eneloops?

Probably not. There’s quite a lot of speculation on some sites and in some reviews that certain cheaper brands might actually be Panasonic Eneloops in disguise. Independent reviews and enthusiasts have been floating the idea that AmazonBasics Rechargeable Batteries and the High Capacity version, which are considerably cheaper than their Eneloop counterparts, are actually made by Panasonic. There’s all sorts of rumors about whether the factory that makes Eneloops contracts out to other brands since the sale from Sanyo to Panasonic. But no matter what corporate evidence someone wants to go dig up, our just tests don’t agree.

Despite having similar measured capacity to Eneloop in the first few cycles, the AmazonBasics only powered our test flashlight for 2 hours, 12 minutes while the high-capacity version improved to 2 hours, 39 minutes. The equivalent Eneloops bested them by burning for 2 hours, 45 minutes and 2 hours, 56 minutes. Even in last year’s inconclusive camera flash tests, the AmazonBasics batteries only strobed 80 percent as many times before being completely run down. While Amazon has been churning out impressive discount products in some categories, we don’t think the AmazonBasics are a great deal for most people—especially because at a price of around $2.12 per battery, they’re not much of a deal.
