Customer Review: I have no problems with these. Maybe I got lucky?
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe I got lucky. I've used about 60 out of the 100 pack, and all of them were perfect.
I got these for the Wii and the XBOX 360 controllers. And they always come up with full bars, and they never start fading prematurely. When I'm using the Wii regularly (2-4 hours a day), the batteries start fading after a week. I've seen the batteries in the Wii go dead after no use countless times, but this happened all the time with Duracell batteries too. Its the fault of the controller. I got tired of expensive Duracell batteries going dead after one small session with the Wii controller. So I figured I'd get the cheap ones, and not care about the Wii burning batteries when I'm not using it because these are so darn cheap.
Forget about these reviews and just try them out. You can try a smaller pack. They also sell these at Frys Electronics, and if they are really that bad as some of these comments say (half dead out of the box which is absurd and not true in my case), you can definitely return them. Worst case scenario you lose a few bucks. Best case scenario you save a lot of money. Until I get a bad batch, I'm a customer for life. I won't buy any other brand these days for my game controllers and remotes.
I understand that there is a tradeoff and there will be some inconsistancies with quality control, but for 1/4 to 1/2 the price I am not expecting military grade.
Customer Review: Great Value Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love these batteries! We have gone through 1/2 the box now without any issue. At this price we took the batteries to church and repowered up all the nursery toys. I was a bit worried reading the reviews about the batteries leaking, but so far we have not had an incident. Saying that though, we don't put these batteries in expensive equipment. They go in the kids cheaper toys, tv remote, stereo remotes, wireless mice, etc... The Logitech remotes, cameras, etc... get high quality rechargeable. At this price we keep extras in the cars and wifes purse. You never know when you will need a battery. They are also great for science experiments, boy scout projects, and anything where you don't want to drop $6 on name brand batteries.Customer Review: Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
For the money you can't beat it. With four kids I go through batteries by the case and have often had issues with generic brands. These batteries were better than other generics I have tried at a discount to the name brands. Recommended.Customer Review: Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
This bulk purchase provides value as well as performance equivalent to name brand batteries in digital cameras, toys, MP3's, and other heavy-duty uses.Customer Review: Actually check voltage & ability to re-use
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the 100 pack and have no problems so far. I found a wierd way to check AA batteries besides just guessing at how long they last. When they're done, I recharge them even though they're not supposed to be rechargable. Using the ultralast in a toothbrush, the 2 AAs lasted as long as others using the "guessing" test. When they slowed up, the voltage was 1.42, about the same as others, they recharged to 1.6 & 1.57 volts and am resuing them (new batteries are 1.61 to 1.62 volts if fresh). The recharged ones have great power and will last almost as long as new ones. Past tests like this indicate that Duracell batteries are much, much better than other batteries but cost a lot more than 20 cents. You'd think they were rechargeables but can be recharged at least twice or more. Ray o Vacs are also good batteries and can recharge one or 2 times. Everyready silver are the worst by far, most are dead after the first use and can't recharge. Since most people don't recharge, buy the Ultralast, because they're good enough and just throw them out when done.
