Solid little batteries.

It could be my imagination, but I feel like I go through less batteries with these than the brand name. I have noise canceling headphones I wear multiple times daily (working and walking to work), so I go through a lot of AAA batteries. However, since I switched to these I don't seem to! Or they just give me so many so cheaply I don't notice as much. Either way. Good buy!

Satisfy the Demanding Devices Life Force

These batteries work great and keep my kids toy's going nonstop. Oh and don't forget the endless Holiday decorations that feed on the never ending demand for battery juice. For those reason I have become a fan of the Amazon Basic batteries. Their quality matches the name brands and I have never had a single issue with them after they many cycles of ordering more and more juice tubes for my demanding ideal devices. In the past I have bought other large pack brands to find a few batteries corroded out in a few months making a message of my battery life force cabinet. This has never happens with my Amazon batteries which is a statement on the quality. So as long as my little devices watch me, judge me, and demand that every need of power I will keep obeying and buy these batteries.

Considering the price as well as performance, I can't find a better deal on batteries

I had been buying Duracell batteries (AA, AAA, C, D) from Sam's Wholesale club because the bulk prices were better than small battery packages, but I switched to AmazonBasics. The reason is the price. Of course, that brings up the question of performance. Which is better? I have 3 kids and a zillion electronic toys. We replace batteries often around here, and frankly there are so many electronic toys, controllers, and remotes, that I have a hard time keeping up with performance of specific batteries. But I came to a realization after comparing prices between the 48 pack of AmazonBasics, and the 48-pack of Duracell at Sam's. For the batteries I was buying, the Duracells would have to last 66% longer to justify the price difference. Now I can't be sure which lasted longer, but I know for sure the Duracells I used to use were NOT lasting 66% longer than the AmazonBasics. They may have been better, but not THAT MUCH better. I'll stick with the AmazonBasics.

Simply Do Not Believe All The One Star Reviews

I use 10 to 15 AA and AAA Amazon batteries each and every month to power a range of professional electrical tools and meters that I must use for my work as a licensed electrician. I have never, repeat, never had the slightest problem with any of the Amazon batteries. I have never had so much as one leak acid or fail to properly fit. As an electrician, the first thing I do before putting any battery in a tool or meter is test its voltage. So far I have never had an Amazon that did not register either very strong or excellent before first use. Think this may be yet another case of folks who can't figure out how to use even the simplest thing giving up in frustration and giving whatever they don't understand a single star. Seems to happen all too often.

Solid value for bargain batteries

Soooo... don’t I feel a fool! I wrote a crummy review for these previously and it turned out there was something wrong with the remote I was using them in after all. After trying a different brand of batteries, the problem happened again, almost as quickly. I have fixed the problem and these batteries work well enough. They’re not as long lasting as the most expensive extra fancy versions of the premium brands, but they are solid enough for my purposes. I paid full price and receive no compensation for reviews, except the knowledge that hopefully my review will be helpful to others the way detailed reviews are helpful to me. I really appreciate it when folks take the time to mark below whether they have found my reviews helpful or not - it motivates me to keep posting reviews. Thank you!

Good deal for the price. Never had a problem with them

There are a lot of variables with batteries, but search the net for comparisons like AmazonBasics vs Duracell or Energizer. IMO when it comes down to it these are just fine for the low price. A lot of items you'd actually use alkaline batteries in instead cable or rechargeable batteries are pretty low-drain/long-life anyway. What I really want is a stash of batteries that lasts years so anytime I get something that needs one I have a spare battery to put in it and these fit the bill. They last long enough. If you have a hyper demanding application then you can afford to take the time to be super particular and nuanced, and way the myriad tradeoffs (burst power, sustained drain, heavy load, shelf life, rechargeable, usage life, cost, etc....), otherwise if you just need to get something going for awhile these do the job.

Results of capacity testing shows its slightly below the competition.

I tested the AA size Amazon brand battery to find out the actual usable capacity as compared to the AA Duracell Procell battery. The results showed that the Amazon battery is about 88 percent the capacity of the Duracell. If you calculate the cost per unit capacity, the batteries are almost identical. The Amazon battery was actually slightly more expensive when represented in cost per Watt-Hour. Because of this I would probably choose the Procell (if I can get a good price on it) just because it means less frequent battery changes. The Amazon battery is a surprisingly good battery though. You will probably barely notice the difference in capacity, so if you don't want to waste time shopping around then its a good choice. I also performed the same test on Duracell Copper Top, and Energizer Max. Their performance was nearly identical to the Procell. More interestingly, I tested the Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA cell. This cell was 4 times the cost of a procell at $1.27 per cell! However the capacity was only 1.5 times that of the Procell. So don't waste your money on these batteries, they're much more expensive per unit of capacity. The capacity of all these batteries were measured in Watt-Hours. Here are the numbers. AA Amazon Battery = 2.71 Wh. My cost per cell = $0.291. Cost per Watt-Hour = $0.107 AA Duracell Procell = 3.09 Wh. My cost per cell = $0.321. Cost per Watt-Hour = $0.104 AA Energizer Lithium = 4.86 Wh. My cost per cell = $1.27. Cost per Watt-Hour = $0.261 This test was done using an op-amp circuit to maintain a constant current load at 100ma. Voltage and current were being logged ounce per minute and this data was used to calculate the Amp-Hour with a 0.8 volt cutoff. The Watt-Hour was then calculated by multiplying the Amp-Hour by the average voltage from the beginning of the test to 0.8 volts. All batteries mentioned were tested using this same method. Note that the capacity of these batteries can change dramatically under different conditions. The same battery under a heavy load will have a fraction of the capacity that it would under a light load. This data is only good for a comparison when choosing what battery is worth buying at what price. Unless your device loads the battery at a constant current of 100ma. In summery, the Amazon batteries are not bad batteries (at least based on this test using the AA cell). If you choose to shop around for a name brand battery, stay at or below $0.33 per cell. Anything above $0.33 per cell will be more expensive per unit capacity than the Amazon battery. Oh, and definitely stay away from the Energizer Lithium unless expense is not an issue. These batteries are only worth the additional cost if your application requires a light weight and relatively high capacity battery regardless of cost. These batteries are surprisingly light weight compared to an alkaline.lkaline.

Great Value, and Good batteries.

I was a bit skeptical to buy a non brand name battery but we go through so many batteries in my house I decided to give these a try. I have several friends and family that have purchased these and add good luck so I went ahead and bought them. Pretty impressed for the amount you get for the price, and they are performing just as good as name brand batteries I have gotten for years. I will now continue to get these for all sizes. Save your money, and get these.

Great batteries

The batteries last forever. It's nice to have a huge box like this.
