The takeaway is largely predictable. When a product seems too good to be true, it most likely is.
What??
Entshittification of the internet.
Look, one more fake product. Its only less than 2usd. Lets buy it, write an article about it and reel in ad revenue and engagement to justify the tokens i spent to have the article written.

Oh, please. Who cares whether you used AI to write the article? But isn't writing about a topic like this a bit insulting to Notebookcheck readers' intelligence? Anyone with even a basic understanding of electronics knows that there's no way a AAA battery can have a 10,000 mAh capacity lol
Totally agree with JS. I've never visited this site before, this link appeared in my daily feed. I thought there would be something more to it than 'surprise - cheap batteries advertised as high capacity turn out to be nothing but the cheap batteries you'd expect'. I won't be returning.
Hmm...intresting. I too learn a lot simply by experimenting. Enjoyed the write up writer. It can serve as a warning to unwary peepz.
In response to the other snarky comments: Yes, it is true that this is a cheap article. Obviously bogus product yields bad result. No surprise. But actually having someone tear down such a device, measure its true specs and put it in relation to what a good product should deliver is very valuable for me. I love being an informed shopper on sites that contain terrible fakes next to small value gems.
Thank you for the kind words, guys. It means a lot ❤
I have bought similar AA batteries with outrageous claims. Some devices need 1.5V and don't work on 1.2V NiMn.
I have chosen ones without a USB port and a dedicated charger instead. Simply hoping that the cell would be bigger.
When searching for them I was stumped by the fact that there are so many sellers but no proper reviews with disassembly. This is a scammy product but sometimes you just need such a thing and these reviews usually help to choose the best among the worst.
Keep up the good work!
Well I for one thought it was a good article. I mean I knew it Wouldn't be 11.000mah but 180 mah cell? Bruh.
My friend got a scam usb power bank a few years ago, it's *brand name* was something like 500,000 mah. I pointed out (before he bought it) that (converting to watts) his capacity was like a car battery so this handheld device wasn't going to have that capacity. He ordered it anyway, it would JUST ABOUT charge a phone before it ran flat LOL.

yep still useful to get info about general products people might find. Maybe my relatives will find this with a search instead of texting me for every little thing they think about buying. Keep it up guys! Good SEO is key :)
So what is current best option for 1.2v and 1.5v batteries in the market right now? the article should provide some tips. I am currently using Ikea Ladda and pleased with the price and performance but not tried 1.5v yet and keen to find any good option without snake oil price.
