AmazonBasics Performance Alkaline Batteries 8 Pack Reviews Summary

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Overall, I would say the price is a good buy and will buy again and again."
• "But for the price there's no beating it."
• "Amazon Basics. A name synonymous with quality and value. Basics performs as well as the competition and cost less."
• "I like Amazon brand batteries because they have superb performance at an unbeatable price."
• "These batteries are always great. They last as long as any of the big-name brands, but cost a fraction of the price."
• "These batteries are great and last just as long (if not longer) as some of the big brands without the added price."
• "I think they cost a reasonable amount for the length of life you get from them."

Cons:

• "I won't be purchasing these again which is too bad - they're very economical."
• "Bought these to save a little on cost since we only use rechargeables, but these are worthless."
• "You get what you pay for."
• "However, I think if you spent a few more dollars and got a better brand it would be more worth it."
