Not bad, but not good either. Certainly false advertising: not low drain!

Originally, I really liked these batteries, but since my first review, I have had to change my mind on account of a few factors. Firstly, I bought these batteries for my Xbox One controller. They work well for this one, though I cannot use them in every other device on account of their large size, which seems to be rather normal for rechargeable batteries, though it is a good reason to dislike these a bit. After a while, I begun to realize that these batteries, for whatever reason, did not output as much power. Using them in the controller, or lights, or whatever evidenced that they were weaker than standard aa batteries. After a complete charge, they are on par, but it only takes 24 hrs, and they are weaker again. It appears that these batteries self-discharge incredibly quickly. This is disappointing because the batteries say "low self-discharge" on the package, and this is certainly not true. Using a device for measuring battery power, I can definitely say that a very sizable chunk of the power from a charge will have dissipated on the next day without even using the batteries. This all wouldn't be so bad, except that it makes it seem also like the batteries are more useful than they are. Originally, I thought very soon that I had already reimbursed myself for these batteries very quickly, but noticing that much of they power they deliver is subpar, and that much of the power is wasted simply through self-discharge, I can say that I probably haven't begun saving money yet by using these batteries. So, in conclusion, it's nice to get a charger and to have rechargeable batteries, but these batteries are sub-par when compared to alkaline lithium batteries, and they don't last as long. It will take quite some time before these will become profitable for the buyer. However, they are probably more eco friendly than buying AA batteries. Nevertheless, these are NOT low self-drain batteries.There may therefore be better options, especially because it takes forever for this charger to charge the self-discharging batteries.
