Amazon.com: Customer reviews: AmazonBasics AAA 1.5 Volt Performance Alkaline Batteries

Top positive review

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

January 22, 2018

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.

leaky batteries

December 22, 2017

Not only did a few batteries leak they ruined one of my Gideon Flameless LED candles. I am so disappointed. I thought that with the Amazon name I would have a quality product. I purchase many products from the Amazon website.
I would like a refund and a replacement for the ruined Gideion Flameless LED candle. I purchased three candles and the 6 inch candle is ruined.

Basic Battery, Basically Good

November 29, 2018

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

We have a lot of things in our house, that for some reason, require triple A batteries. We have clocks, remotes, thermometers, keyboards, and more that need these. We got poor performance from rechargeable batteries in a lot of these devices so I elected to go the old fashioned way. The Amazon Basics brand has always seemed to do well and their AAA batteries are the same. They last a decent amount of time. Case in point, my son's bluetooth keyboard only got about a month out of the rechargeable batteries. So far he has not even seen a hint of needing to replace these and it has been almost two months (about 1.75 months as of this review). I will probably always look to buy these in the future. Far cheaper than even four batteries at the local grocery store.

Great value for the price.

I have been very happy with the AmazonBasics batteries in general. I use AAA, AA, 9v, C, and D batteries. I am hoping that AmazonBasics will start offering high-energy lithium batteries. It would also be good to have a readable expiration date on the batteries. I change 98 batteries twice a year in April and September. The high energy lithium typically have a temperate range of -40F to +140F. Which means they effectively have zero water content and therefore wont freeze in crack in our often brutal Chicago winters.

"Best Packs of Batteries I ever Bought!"

March 25, 2019

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

I've been purchasing various sizes of Batteries since the 1960's and the day's of transistor radios and flashlights. Batteries have always been a constant source to drain my pocket or wallet of cash. I did hesitate a bit at first, after all, being endocrined by that the cute, little "Energizer Bunny" banging that cymbal as he kept going and going and going... you know the drill. Then the opposition "Duracell" brought claims that quarantined longer lasting staying power or your money back. Pretty tough computing no matter what. Yet, Amazon, has a reputation and warranty for products bearing the "Amazon" lable, which is proven, tested and witnessed by me, Danny E. Sieg. The AAA Batteries have been used me for last 3 to 4 years and work as well or better than the other products mentioned. I still have AA Energizer's left from a 10 pack and still purchased two sleeves of AA Amazon batteries, on seperate orders, because I have found them to be better.

Kudos!! Insulin Pump Running Strong!!!

March 13, 2019

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

I decided to give these a try due to the massive number of AAA batteries I use each month. I am a Type 1 Diabetic on the insulin pump 24/7. The most expensive batteries on the market last a maximum of 4 days. I inserted the Amazon battery in my pump on March 4, 2019. It is still going strong and I have full power 10 days later!!!! I truly stand amazed. I have NEVER had a battery touch this. I only wish I had these batteries 17 years ago.
Kudos Amazon for passing the pump test. None ever have. I will be a customer for life!

Great product for the price! I'm impressed.

The battery life isn't as long as one would hope but they certainly do the trick for a few weeks. I purchased these because the prices at the store are ridiculous, so I decided to give these a try. I wouldn't compare them to the high end batteries because the price alone will give you a decent indication as to how long they will last. I would buy again when needed. I could see these as being great for kids toys as they aren't used as long as a remote might be.

Great deal- don't pass these up! Can never have too many AAA's around.

Great deal- don't waste any more money buying batteries at the store! You can't beat the price and they work and lask as well as "brand name" batterys. It it amazing how much cheaper these are- and you get twice as many. I got these in AA, AAA, C and D. The main reason I even bought them was when I was looking for flashlight batteries- size D for my trusty maglight (yes they are heavy but I love them for it, they are perfect for a car and the weight keeps it steady if you have to put it down) and size C for a different flashlight. Of course I needed an odd number and couldn't believe how expensive they were in the store. I checked Amazon- had no clue amazon had their own batteries and noticed that in all of the sizes- the price was less then the smallest pack of that size in the store and had twice as many batteries. Did I need this many AAA batteries at the time- nope but let me tell you I'm so glad I got extra- less than a week after buying them I had already nearly used every one. I went around the house and replaced every remote and device I could find and they work great! With AA and AAA size I'd recommend buying a bigger pack- yes it does seem like a lot of batteries at first but trust me you'll be glad you got extra- it's one of those items every house needs and easily gets overlooked.

What do I know?

August 12, 2019

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

Thought I did a review for Amazon batteries already but whatever. They seem to be good enough batteries for the price. I really don't know and can't say for sure though. I have not done my own scientific comparisons with all kinds of side by side matching to see what powers what best and when. All I know is we always need batteries here at home and since I'm making an Amazon order for something or another already, might as well just throw some more batteries in with the order too. Helps if it's a small order to begin with and you just need to buy a little something extra to get free shipping or something. I have bought them in the past and will probably buy more in the future.

Works like a charm

August 15, 2016

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

These batteries come at a very economical price. Been using it in wall clocks,flashlights,electrical equipments etc, and so far they have been running like a charm.
They last for a long time, what a battery should usually last for, depending on the usage and at half the price compared to other name brands.
Comes packaged in a decent packaging to store them for future use.

Would recommend this product.

Great life-span on these batteries

February 2, 2016

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

We seem to go through batteries SO fast with all the toys and electronics that my kids and husband have. I feel like I was always running out and buying more batteries and they seemed SO expensive. We decided to try out the AamazonBasics batteries because they are cheaper than purchasing in the store...and because they are delivered to my front door and I don't have to remember to grab them at the grocery store or make a special trip out to get batteries. So far we've been really impressed with these batteries. I was afraid that they would be like the super cheap ones you can get at the dollar store and not really have much life to them and have to replace them even more frequently. We've been using them in several well-loved (read used all the dang time!) toys as well as some electronic devices and we haven't had any issues with them not having a good life span to them. We will definitely purchase these again when our supply gets low - thanks for an affordable, easy option to the seemingly never-ending need for batteries!

Excellent batteries at a great price!

December 19, 2018

Size: Pack of 20Style: AAAVerified Purchase

I switched to the Amazon brand batteries years ago because I was sick and tired of paying crazy prices for name brand, alkaline batteries. The Amazon brand batteries work just as well and last just as long as the popular name brands but are less expensive. Why anyone would continue to buy the popular name brands and pay more when they can get a high quality, long lasting battery Amazon is beyond me. I highly recommend the Amazon brand alkaline batteries in AAA, AA, C and D cell sizes. Excellent quality!
