Works well in my camera and my TV remotes, and I was able to charge them fine using an Energizer charger. I have already saved tons of cash by going with rechargeable.
Would these be compatible with my iGo Green charger? It says it accepts AAA batteries but didn’t know if they had to be the iGo Green brand ones.
Are these comparable to Eneloops?

From the iGo product page:
“Charge AA and AAA rechargeable alkaline or NiMH batteries with this convenient 4-position charger and any standard US wall outlet”
Yes, these would be compatible
Dual chemistry hybrid chargers charge any rechargeable alkaline or NiMH batteries
Pulled that from the description for the iGo Green Charger. It looks like these are compatible with the charger unit.
chargers should be able to charge any type of battery as long as it is a AAA charger,
I would have gotten this had they been AA

Not true. You should always read charger descriptions to find out what kinds of batteries they are capable of charging (Alkaline, NiMH etc). Using an incorrect charger with batteries is a quick way to destroy them.

Eneloops are sort of the Rolls Royce of rechargeable batteries. These serve the same purpose, yes, but I doubt if they would hold a charge as long, and work for so many cycles.
If you already have a battery charger that works with these, great, but the smart battery chargers make these last a lot longer before they appear “dead” and unusable.
Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RSOV50/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
Isn’t this the same thing at Amazon, only cheaper?
Duracell Rechargeables StayCharged AAA Batteries, 4-Count
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XSG300/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
[MOD: Looks like you’re only getting 4 which would be $26 for 12. Either way, it’s also $8.69 for shipping]
this is a great deal, and these will last practically forever, just make sure to fully use the charge in the battery before recharging, and to not over charge ( any remotely decent charger will stop charging when they are fully charged)
I bought MY charger off of tigerdirect last year, and it works great( it has a memory reset feature that in a sense cleans up the battery internally so it holds a charge better)
here is a link to their battery chargers : TigerDirect Sunset
and I recommend not going cheap, a good charger will elongate the life of your batteries and in the long haul save you money!
They work good in my 6.0 Panasonic phones.
No these are not comparable to Eneloops. These are high drain while the Eneloops are low drain. Get the low drain (Duracell calls them “pre-charged”) as they hold a charge much longer.
AAA? No!
AA and I would buy. I can’t even think of something that uses AAA in my house. Maybe one of the remote controls? A clock perhaps? No, those tend to use the bigger batteries.
any type of gaming headset!

Not when you count shipping. It’s a private seller, so no Super Saver/Prime shipping.

Woot is a buck cheaper for 12 if you count shipping. That seller’s shipping doubles the price.
