A ZDNET review assesses Paleblue USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V), highlighting direct USB charging via a 4-way cable, fast recharge times (about two hours for AAs and one hour for AAAs), consistent size and performance comparable to alkaline cells, an estimated 1,000-cycle lifespan, and reasonable bundle pricing; the main drawback noted is the dated USB-A connector on the cable, though this can be mitigated with an adapter.
