Customer Review: Some batteries DOA
Summary: 2 Stars
Based off my purchase, I believe there is a serious issue regarding quality with this product. Some batteries simply didn't work at all and others had very little energy. I regret the purchase and do not plan on buying from again.Customer Review: Low Battery Life
Summary: 1 Stars
I've gone through a box of these and will never buy more of this brand. In fact, it has been kind of a lesson for me in buying cheap batteries. They simply do not last. I've haven't done formal testing testing, but my wife says that her electric toothbush eats these up twice as fast as a name brand battery. I've had some batteries leak on me recently. I didn't pay attention which brand, just threw them out. But given the number of complaints that people have been having about leaking batteries, it's a pretty good bet they were the ultralast.
When we have guests staying over, I often supply batteries when they need them. The last time a guest needed a pair of AA's for her camera. Normally one uses a better quality battery than AA Alkalines for cameras, but I've used them in a pinch when nothing else is handy. Not the Ultralast. The camera was dead as a doornail -- didn;t have the oomf to even operated the camera.
Customer Review: You Need a Battery Meter if You Buy This Bundle
Summary: 1 Stars
This would be a good value if all the batteries in the bundle held a proper charge. Unfortunately, many of the batteries do not have a sufficient charge to be useful. In the package I bought, about 30 of the 100 had a full charge. The rest were below 50%. Also, a number of the batteries leaked, which is a potential cause of damage. Those batteries that had a full charge and did not leak performed well, but it is too much risk, in my opinion. Fortunately, no device I have received damage from these batteries, but I came close with a wireless keyboard where a couple of batteries leaked. I will not be purchasing another package of this brand again. Oddly enough, though, the AAA Ultralast batteries do not seem to have the leakage problem, but I still have about 3/4 package left. I will be keeping a watchful eye on them too.Customer Review: Not the same as store brands!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these thinking they are the same as the Sam's/Walmart store brand bulk pack. They are not. About half the batteries are bad out of the pack.
They foreshadow their lack of quality control with an insert that says if any of these batteries are bad, please send them to ____ for a replacement. I really do not want to send a 20¢ (or any number of them) back for a replacement. I just want the battery to work.
BTW, I have not check the expected life. As I am only putting them in electronics that get infrequent use (kid's pencil sharpener) or have minimal power demands (remote controls).
Customer Review: Fraud
Summary: 1 Stars
There should be some kind of law against selling items this poor in quality. Shame on Amazon for peddling these batteries.
These
1) Leak - and damage to the electronics far exceed the cost of these batteries.
2) Have short life
3) High self discharge - so they are no good after a year on the shelf.
I hope FTC or some other body takes a good look at this "stuff" and penalizes both the seller and the manufacturer.
