Great batteries

I received these AAA batteries a few weeks ago and was a bit skeptical so I decided to run them through their paces on various flashlights and compared them to the bunny brand batteries I generally use. They hold up well and charging doesn't take too long.
Pros
Can charge with USBC cords
Good battery life
Charging light indicator on the positive side of the battery
Batteries can be charged with a USBC battery supply in the event of a power outage

Say goodbye alkaline!

Great brightness, long term capacity. With a 320 lumen spot, left on continuously for over 3 hours, over 8 hours, and even at 15 hours in 80 degree (F) temperatures, these batteries delivered. In a "worst case scenario", you would still have light at over 24 hours, albeit small.
Cold beater: Similar performance was found at freezing temperatures for 4 and 8 hr. continuous on durations, making this a suitable "shift light" for those working in cold temperatures.
Durability: After 8 hours in the freezing cold, the batteries still presented a full, bright power source after letting warm to room temperature and then 85 minutes to charge. Alkalines would be toast.
Other devices compatibility: In the RC truck rapid acceleration, deceleration, cornering, and obstacle resistance were superb for over 30 continuous minutes. The truck was then left "on" for 48 hrs. and still had 75% of its power while continuously used again for over 30 minutes.

A great bang for the buck when used in small lights and toys!
I recommend Coast to everyone I know, even for self-defense class students.

**Coast also honored their exceptional guarantee by sending me a new PolySteel 250 when the test LED bulb appeared to be burned in my original at 24 hours continuous on. Exceptional service!

Great option for AAA batteries, USB-C too!

Very happy with these batteries. Super easy to charge with the 1-to-4 cable, so you can charge all 4 at once. Great alternative for alkalines that can die and leak. Measured 1.5V with my multimeter, so all seems good. I haven't had any issues with any device that I've used these in.

These batteries may seem a little bit high priced, but let me tell you for the price you pay that shirt to pack a punch. They are amazing. They are the strongest, longest lasting and durable convenient batteries I’ve ever use that were rechargeable I put them in the coast, headlamp and flashlight and that runs for 2 to 3 times the duration of the runtime of the light on top of the convenient and easy for USB-C charging plug adapters that come with them makes them even more amazing. Absolutely amazing love them and will start buying these now instead of leaving competitor ones that are nowhere near the quality. Another great product thanks coast!

Great Rechargeable Batteries

Great rechargeable batteries. Love the fact that they can be recharged independent from each other. Depending on the device using them, you could even recharge them while they are in the device! They can be used on anything that uses the size you bought. Something I think that would be cool to seen on the next version, a charge level indicator if you click a button. Or another cool idea would be if possible, adding Bluetooth to connect to an app to monitor all your batteries! I will definitely purchase more of these as I can afford to do so!!! They use usb-c to charge which is nice since it's the same as my phone, headphones and several other devices!

Quick Charging
on October 2, 2023
Posted by: Harold

These were 1.5 volts when I received them on September 12. I went ahead and topped them off with a phone charger. I put one in a Coast A5 inspection light that uses 1 AAA battery. Used it for several days and checked the voltage was still above 1.5v.
I then put all four cells into a Brother label machine and made several labels. Checked the voltage before this review and all four cells were still over 1.5 volts. I am impressed they hold their charge extremely well.
The charging routine is pretty straight forward. Using a type C plug when the light goes from red to green the cell is charged. I like that only one cell can be recharged at a time or any combination of the four.

Great Companion To Coast Flashlights!!
on October 3, 2023
Posted by: TeraMachines

This was given to me by coast for a review. I was scheptical at first about the batteries, especially since I already use another brand of lithium rechargeable battery. The difference between the two is the type-c port but the function is the same. My current batteries only charge through a charger that plugs into a wall, but they use the 4 way split type-c cable. The BMS (battery management system) is located within the battery which brought a interesting issue. I was hoping that the battery would charge on the supplied cable and my current charger. Type-c charges without issue and quickly, but if I add it to the charger it throws a error. I figure the BMC caused the error because then two BMCs are fighting. I added these batteries to a Coast flashlight that only had common batteries as an option, unlike the common rechargeable ones included in their current lineup, which are WONDERFUL!!! The flashlight held up great with these batteries and lasted over a week with random use, providing a steady flow of light. The key to these batteries are the Type-C ports which were valuable when I was not close to my other batteries and charger. Just plugged them right up to a phone charging cable and they charged right up so I could just keep working without looking for additional batteries that ALWAYS hide when you need them. Our phones are so essential to everyday work and usb ports are available everywhere nowadays. So being able to find a solution for charging was brilliant. I have had these for around 3 weeks now and keep them close for any time I may be in a tough spot for light and long run times.
