New AA and AAA lithium-ion batteries with USB-C are now available from Verbatim

[Redaktion]

Verbatim has launched lithium-ion AA and AAA rechargeable batteries, along with a 9V battery. All models can be charged via USB-C. Thanks to voltage conversion, the rechargeable batteries can replace standard disposable batteries. However, they have some limitations compared with conventional NiMH batteries.

"Recharge Cycles: ≥300 cycles to 80% capacity; up to approx. 1,000 cycles (10-20% capacity remaining)"

At 1000 charging cycles I expected 70-80% capacity remaining (like is the case for NiMH), not 10-20%..

The batteries also self-discharge and should not be stored for more than 60 days without recharging.

At what rate, or do you mean the worse case from full to empty in 60% (which would be jokingly bad)?
