THE QUICK TAKE: The AmazonBasics High Capacity AA Rechargeable batteries are a nice product, but that comes at a higher price (at current pricing). Unless you need the extra capacity of a 2400 mAh battery, you may want to get the regular 2000 mAh Eneloop or AmazonBasics batteries at a lower price. Similarly, if you don't need to store them before using them, conventional rechargeables will do the job.

The product description on the Amazon product page has a good summary, if you're not familiar with the advantages of "pre-charged" or "low-self discharge" batteries. This is a somewhat new technology, available in the last 10 years or so; the batteries are slow to lose their charge, so they can be sold charged and ready to use; and will hold a charge for some time. It's only relatively recently that higher-capacity versions have been available.

If cost isn't important, and you don't want to have to figure out which battery is which - then sure, stock up on these. But given the cost, most people will want to use these where they are needed.
