These batteries do not last quite as long as the alkalines from the top two brands. However, they will last about 85-90% of the big boys, depending on application, and they are a *lot* cheaper. That makes them a really good, cost-effective choice unless the device you are using them in has batteries that are difficult to change.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective Batteries, January 29, 2008

I installed 6 of these batteries in an LED light I had and they seemed to work well. When I tried to turn on the light 15 minutes later it did not work. I opened the battery compartment and found that 3 of these batteries had split open and had deposited an oily liquid in the battery compartment. Because the battery splits had just occurred I was able to clean up the mess with no damage the light. Cheap batteries or not, this still should not have happened.

I've used these in my pager with OK results; they would probably be OK in wall clocks or flashlights, but they are lousy in digital cameras. I tried some in my Olympus D-580 4MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and I was able to take maybe 3 or 4 pictures before the camera thought the batteries were dead. If I waited a while, it could take a few more pictures.

I dug out my voltmeter, and it confirmed it. These batteries went from 1.6 volts down to 1.4 volts after a few shots in the camera. After 30 minutes, they recovered to 1.5 volts. The same test with standard Everready alkaline batteries dropped the voltage to only 1.5 volts, plenty of picture-taking power left, and they recovered back to 1.6 volts.
