These batteries last as long as the name brands. We use these in pager, book lights, and a few different types of medical diagnostic equipment, without any problems.
Consumer reports did a study on alkaline batteries and found them all to be pretty much the same, no matter where they were made, or how much they cost.
So save your self some money.

At 30 cents a piece (=60 cents a pair), these Memorex batteries are good alkaline batteries. However, don't expect to use them in digital cameras, as they won't last long. For digital cameras that take AA you should use NiMH rechargeable batteries. The Memorex is great for other electronics such as CD players, MP3 players, portable radios, etc.

Great deal, now at 20¢ each.
When thinking about rechargeable batteries,
be aware that many (if not all) have a full
charge voltage of 1.25V, while the alkalines
have 1.5V -- some equipment, like the flash
attachment on my digital camera, will NOT work
with 4 rechargeable batteries (5V) but WILL WORK
with 4 alkalines (6V). Test before making major
purchases...

In response to Sina Neshatian (1/16/05): I gave up on rechargeable batteries because: 1) They don't take as much charge as alkaline, even when brand new; and 2) They run down far more quickly. I think they would be very appropriate for uses less demanding than mine.

How can you beat the price??? I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com.

usually when i buy batteries in bulk, i store them in a cool place or even the fridge... i used these batteries in my digi cam that just ate batteries like crazy... worked out very well but i ended up switching to rechargables on the digi cam and used the rest of these for my remot controls...

These batteries actually last a good amount. not like those cheap heavy duty ones. The price for this quality is unmatched. I highly recommended everyone to buy a pack. note: they expire 2010, or at least the ones that I recieved.

This is the second time that I have purchased this product. I am very pleased with the value and the life of the batteries. I bought them for $9.99 and free shipping.I am an avid shopper and this is the best deal I have found. I would highly recommend this product.

I bought these batteries three weeks ago from Amazon -- they were a pretty good deal for the price, and I'm happy with my purchase. If Amazon still offered them, I'd buy more now. Unfortunately, (at least as of today) they're no longer available from Amazon; the price is the same as I paid earlier this month, but the seller is now J&R Music rather than Amazon, so the additional shipping charges have nearly doubled the effective cost. Look for other batteries from Amazon instead. (A reasonable price is twenty to twenty-five cents per battery.)

I use a portable Discman that takes 2 double A's, and just finished my multpack of Energizers. So based on its reviews I tried these out. However in my discplayer, these last only about 2 weeks before I get a low battery indication. With the Energizers I only had to change them once a month.

With other electronics such as remote controls, you may not notice the performance diffrence.
