Was waiting for these to go on sale as my old duracell charger borked itself. Few more XTAR products discounted in their amazon store page.

This should be helpful.
Sounds pretty good to me, capacity is quite good too. Just wondering if they might go lower on Black Friday sales.
Just the price. These are closer to alkaline too for things that benefit from the 1.5V. But if you are going to get lithium AAs these are the ones to get. The low battery function is pretty useful, otherwise they just go from working to not without any warning.
Any downsides to these over the Eneloops?
They have higher self-discharge than NiMH LSD cells like Eneloops. But if you use them right after charging that won't be an issue.
Wonder if these would go well in a Nest Protect smoke alarm..
I'd rather use a lithium primary (non-rechargable) cell for crucial devices like that. These cells actually have a buck converter to convert the internal 3.6V cell to 1.5V so will have additional idle current drain.
