Cons:

• "The Amazon basic d batteries said they had 10 year shelf life lasted maybe 4 or 5 years went to use for my security lights check to see if any where good I had 8 left they where all bad."
• "I purchased the 12 pack on Dec. 2018, and used 6. Today is Dec. 13, 2019 and planned on using the other 6, that are good through 08/2023, and they did not last an hour powering our Christmas tree."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "I hate to buy name brand for the amount we go through so I figured I would give these a try, I am so glad I did. They not only all worked on arrival but are still super ZOOMING those cars around after many many hours."
• "Hope these last at least half as long as my last set (big name brand), which I intended to buy until I noticed the price.....OUCH!!"
• "I like that these batteries last. I inadvertently left my fan on when I was distracted for over an hour and when I came back it was STILL cranking away!"
• "These Amazon batteries are great....did my own test....they lasted just as long as Energizer or Duracell for a lower cost."
• "I have spent over half an hour trying to open this package of batteries and so far I've managed to get one battery out, and that was with help from a friend. The packaging is ridiculous, especially for seniors."
• "You get a lot of batteries for a pretty decent price. I bought these for my kid's electronic dart gun because of course it takes 6 of these batteries to function."
• "These are excellent batteries. We use them in our electric Williamsburg Candles at home and they are lit on a timer year round."
• "These things last forever!!! I have Luminara candles in my salon that take 2-D batteries each (it can get expensive)."

Cons:

• "I recently purchased batteries from Amazon, and I'm delighted with the product. The batteries have a long lifespan and performed exceptionally well. The quick delivery and reasonable pricing added to my overall satisfaction. Highly recommend!"
• "Great price, but they die extremely fast. I went through all of them in the course of 4 days. I have a tiny desk fan that keeps me cool when the AC isn’t turned on."
• "I had previously ordered batteries after Hurricane Maria and they worked so well. The leftover ones did not work anymore so I ordered these ones as replacements for me and my sisters. Not one of them works. No juice."
• "There are two things to consider when looking for batteries. Shelf-life (which is the self-discharge rate of the battery even if it's not used) but most importantly is the Amp Hour (or milli Amp Hour mAH) rating."
• "For about an hour at the low level the the batteries work great but after that the power level drops down to about 40 percent."
• "I bought these to power fans at scout camp. Bought enough to replace three times (week long camp). Fans were used for 5-7 hours each night. Only used one set of batteries."
• "I put these in my baby’s swing and the swing died in less than an hour of use. The energizers I had in since she was born have worked for the last 3 months."
• "We installed these in motion sensor flood lights made by Mr Beams. The lights operate as advertised with the exception of battery longevity."
