Amazonbasics LR44 Alkaline Button 12 Pack Reviews Summary

Battery Performance

Pros:

• "I use these batteries for the laser light toy for the cats and already they are lasting about 3 times longer than the originals at a good price."
• "Been using it for a month now with good performance."
• "Buying these batteries from the store is expensive and you only get 2-4 batteries. I decided to try Amazon and found these. It's a great price for the amount you receive."
• "Good quality batteries that get the job done for less than the National brands."
• "I use these LR44 Alkaline Button Coin Cell Battery in my digital calipers. They last for years sometimes."
• "These batteries came in handy for some of my kids toys that required them. Kind of an odd and rare size but the price is good and the performance is great."
• "I have used the brand names of this battery size, and I decided to try out the amazon basics version. I have found that these Amazon Basics LR44 batteries provide a long life in the applications that I have used them for."

Cons:

• "Worst batteries I’ve ever purchased in my life."
• "Many of the cells were dead... At least 4 in this set test no voltage with my battery tester."
• "the absolute worse batteries I have ever bought! They didn't even last one day!"
• "None of these batteries worked, they were all dead on arrival."
• "All the batteries are dead."
• "The batteries said they were good until 2024 but only lasted for 10 minutes."
• "I wouldn't buy more than you can use pretty soon. I bought the 12 pack, and just threw away 8 that were never used because they drained in the package."

Packaging

Pros:

• "These batteries were prefect for fixing my hallmark ornaments. The shipping was quick and made my kids happy that the ornaments work now."
• "Nice, clean, basic packaging that feels pretty sturdy."
• "The packaging is Amazon-good. =)"
• "I was delighted to see that these Amazon batteries come 6 to a card-- on a minimalized blister pack, so there is no real waste of extraneous plastic."
• "I like how each battery is packaged on its own within the package, if one starts to leak it won't ruin the rest of them."
• "The packaging was also super easy to open and utilize the product quickly."
• "As this size battery can be dangerous for children, I appreciate that the batteries are packaged in such a way to make it near impossible for a child to get into them."

Cons:

• "These are a BEAR to open and get out of their bubble wrap."
• "These little batteries work fine as replacements in my mini-humidity gauges, but they are a serious pain to separate from their packaging."
• "Should have read other reviews before buying. Packaging was almost impossible to open."
• "The packaging on the other hand is incredibly frustrating to get the battery out of."
• "They're sealed up so tightly it was difficult to get them out of the package."
• "Hard to open these, they’re in blister pack all on a card. Very hard to get them out."
• "However the cardboard and plastic 'blister pack' is VERY challenging to open."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Amazon refunded without quibbling."
• "I tested another pair of LR44 Batteries against the Amazon Batteries; the latter did NOT work. Amazon was quick to refund."
• "They work great! I've purchased others that were D.O.A but these Amazon Basic batteries were not."

Cons:

• "Bought wrong battery. Appeared to be correct one from description. This company would not take the batteries back even though they were never removed from packaging. Horrible customer service."
• "amazon strikes again with offering a terrible product that doesn’t work AND that it can not back, no return or refund."
• "Batteries received dead and are not eligible for return or refund. This is an Amazon rip off. Terrible customer service."
• "And then Amazon doesn't let you return these, and wouldn't give a refund."
• "only recieved one package of batteries when i had ordered two, can't find a way to return, also charged for two packs of batts, crap."
• "Not the item as per my description in search and very small size. Size not mentioned in details and return not collected. Very unhappy about the way Amazon handled this purchase."
• "I have now called twice to get these replaced but to no avail!"
