Good value, excellent product, December 15, 2009
This review is from: Rayovac ALC-12 UltraPRO Alkaline C Batteries, 12-Pack (Health and Beauty)
I keep these on hand all the time. I've replaced all my candles (tons and tons of candles) with flameless candles with timers (some with dual timers) that require 2 "C" batts each for 1,000-1,500 hours 'burn' time, depending on the style of 'candle'. I also have solar lanterns that hang from shepherd's hooks looped through my chain link fence Spring through Fall months that use "C"s.
Having said that, with this product, my burn time and brightness of the candles and lanterns last much longer than estimated by the manufacturers of those products (Candle Impressions), whether the candles are 'on' all the time or using them with the timers. The same holds true for the extended brightness of the stained glass (plastic) lanterns outside as compared to other C batteries I've tried in the past. They are wonderful for all those times I lose power here (and that's a lot) from wind, storms, rain, freezing rain and drizzle, snow, transformers blowing out, or sneezing. :)
I've also given the flameless candles as gifts to those who like the idea of eliminating the safety hazards of real candles that must be carefully placed and watched in their homes and always include these batteries with the gift.
Can't go wrong. I monitor this product regularly and pick it up when on sale so I never run out. Reliable, long lasting, dependable, good value. Can't go wrong.

I guess you get what you pay for. Yes, it's a decent price for a bundle of batteries, but I've found -- after twice using a pair of them in low-drain electronic weather stations and rarely used remotes -- that they're exhausted WAY too quickly. I'll stick to the copper top!

We use these batteries in candles for our windows. This is our second order and so far none of these has leaked and they last as long or longer than any other batteries that we've tried. We've used cheaper batteries, but found leakage to be a problem.
