I bought an 8 pack from Wally World for appx $17 about 2 weeks ago.
FYI.... The previous versions offered last year were 2100 mAh.


Brand, out of curiosity?


I've never lost a single NiMH battery in 5 years of use.
Call it luck or just old fashion TLC. g


I too rarely lost one, until I started using the 30 minute charger,
occasionally. But I know that isn't particularly good for them!g

As to self discharge...
Ambient temp is a most important variable.
20 to 45% loss in 30 days is typical for NiMH cells according to

Ta-ta....

One of these days, I'm going to be really bored and do a discharge test at
room temp., and see what I can see. 'twill be in-ter-es-ting.
