Fortunately, I have a La Crosse Technology BC-9009 AlphaPower Battery Charger so I am able to see the juice value in these batteries. When I first charged the AA’s (slowly), I only got readings of between 900 to 1100 mAh. So I then refreshed the batteries (which can take days!!!) and got a maximum reading between 1821 -2360 mAh with an average reading of 2040 mAh for the 8 AA’s so no where near their rated 2600 mAh. My new Sony and LaCrosse rechargeables charge to about 2600 mAh so I know the BC-9009 works okay.
Therefore, if you notice that the batteries aren’t lasting after a charge you may want to refresh your batteries (that is discharge/recharge them a couple of times) to booast the mAh.
For the AAA’s, after refreshing them I got a range of between 809 to 1101 mAh with an average reading of 911 mAh for the 8 AAA’s.
So in summary (at least for the batch I got):
AA’s are on average 2000 mAh (not 2600 mAh) which is about 80% of value.
AAA’s are on average 900 mAh (not 1000 mAh) which is about 90% of value.
While the AAA’s are close to the 1000 mAh, the AA’s are way off the 2600 mAh.
So there is a trade-off of some mAh for these inexpensive batteries in that they wont last as long as better brands but some may find this okay given the cheap price.
In this update, I have increased my ratings by one star (from 2 to 3 star ratings) since my original review was based only on the AAs and I have now had time to refresh the AAA but I still take stars off for the misinformation about the mAh ratings.

This marks the 3rd time I’ve completely replaced (recycled) and restandardized all the rechargeable batties in my house (the prior being the radio shack 1,400 mAh gold & black, followed by the 1,800 powder green white-tops & 2,000 metallic green black-tops). The new Tenergy 2,600 mAh powder blue black-top AA’s seem to be the best rechargeable AA’s available (as of this writing). With every generation, the run time of NiMHi’s gets closer and closer to disaposeable alkaline batteries, and the blues are the closest yet. Not only do they have a deep charge, but they also seem to hold onto their charge, when not in use, better than earlier generations of batteries.
I use them in everything, and couldnt be happier … and coupled with a Tenergy “Speedy Box” smart charger, I’m a doubly happy camper.
Recommended.

I purchased 20 of these (AA cells) a couple of years ago. They didn’t hold enough of a charge to run a flashlight, or even run small battery operated travel clocks for more than a day or two before running slow or completely stopping. I had hoped to use them for my cameras when traveling, plus other items around the house. i also bought the Sony charger and Sony AA batteries. These have charged adequately and perform well, as do the Duracell and Maxell AA batteries I own. To date, the Tenergy batteries have been unusable except for very short periods in the TV and DVD remote devices. I have tried discharging and ‘refreshing’ them using that feature of the Sony charger, but still no luck. Emailed the company but received a response that suggested I was probably not charging them correctly.

I’ve been using various brands of rechargables (AA and AAA, mostly NiMH) for many years (since my kids were toddlers - and now they are teens, and still go through batteries like nobody’s business!!). I’ve had good luck with Powerizer on the inexpensive end, and Duracell on the higher $ end. Tenergy, however, was one of the worst! They stopped charging after about five or six shots (using the same charger I use for all the other brands). I highly recommend away from Tenergy if you want your money’s worth. I only gave them two stars instead of one becuase they are still better than non-rechargables as far as bang for the buck.

I have no way to judge how man mahs in a battery other than trying it in my devices.
out of the wrapper they worked great better than energizer nmh they must be charged first.
these batteries are kinda dull in appearance but who cares they work and work well.
they get pretty hot when charged I think that is normal.
for the price can’t possibly do better I will see how long they last.
