^ Good ole NLee The Engineer covers this. These are made in China and have a lower charge retention rate. The Basics AAA with the silvery-sage colored labels are made in Japan, relabeled Eneloops. Those are currently $15 an 8-pack.
I'm not suggesting that you can't get good service out of non-Eneloop cells made in China, at least the low self discharge type from China have gotten much better in recent years. I still wouldn't touch the regular self discharge type if made in China unless they were dirt cheap and even then, meh batteries aren't that expensive considering the # of charges.
