5.0 out of 5 starsConsidering 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.

1.0 out of 5 starsleaky 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.

1.0 out of 5 starsI have bought these twice-my first purchase, I received ...
July 26, 2017
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I have bought these twice-my first purchase, I received the batteries in the silver packaging, had no issues, long battery life, etc. The second order I received the batteries in the gray packaging as pictured. I bought the second back in April, and last week I discovered that every unused battery that I hadn't used up and thrown out was leaking. I threw out 5 batteries one day, and found 3 more that were in use in remotes that needed to be thrown out as well because they had leaked, and had to throw out a remote as well since it had corroded inside.

I'm not going to be buying again. I could forgive one leaking battery, but almost half the package? I'll either buy another brand for a bit more money and quality, or go to a local dollar store for the same quality and less money

1.0 out of 5 starsLeaking acid
September 26, 2018
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I found two of these batteries stored in the original packaging leaked acid. I am glad I did not have them in a product. They do not seem to have the capacity of another brand x battery as I have replaced them three times in one of two remotes with the same usage, while the brand x battery kept on working. Nothing scientific, just observation. Any battery that leaks is not worth the risk of a cheaper price.

1.0 out of 5 starsJunk
September 7, 2019
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
Wife, unbeknownst to me, ordered these. Simply put, they suck!! They come “overcharged” , and they die a quick death, with occasional leakage!!!! Poor batteries!!
What a shame! Amazon could’ve cornered the battery market too! I thought only a few manufacturers made all the batteries and just labeled them differently. Main takeaway here is : buy established name batteries . Look for 4.5 and up rating. Amazon should have a 4-5 rating scale. A product rated 4 stars can be junk. But 4.7,4.8..... now you’re talking!!! ( as long as there are no fake reviews)

1.0 out of 5 starsBattery life is very short.
December 20, 2018
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I bought these batteries specifically for these lights that I turn on using the remote in photos privided for about 3 hours each evening. I have 5 lights. I put the amazon batteries in 3 and a name brand batteries in the remaining 2 lights. The amazon batteries are already dead and had to be replaced, whereas the name brand batteries are running strong. Very disappointed in the quality of the amazon basic aaa batteries.

1.0 out of 5 starsNo power
March 31, 2015
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
Good price.... but (update 12/21/2016)

Update - horrible batteries. Have gone through 8 out of 48 batteries and none have worked. Contacted Amazon, they state they will refund my money and apologized. Great customer service,but horrible product.

Be aware of the refund/return policy with Amazon. Batteries are something I don't test when i get them, I assume they will work when I need them. Have never had a problem before now. When to put 2 AA's in an LED flashlight..... nothing. Tried 2 more.... nothing. Tried 2 more....nothing 2 more (guess what?)... nothing again. Tried it my TV remote too. Same results. Not something I would trust to stock up with for a power outage.

While the product gets 1 star (that's too generous) I do give Amazon and their Customer Service 5 Stars.

1.0 out of 5 starsTHEY DON'T WORK WHEN THEY ARE COLD
November 12, 2018
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
Really wanted to like these batteries, great value and they do work well...INDOORS.
Put them in a flashlight which I keep in my Yukon, It's cold here in Portland Oregon ( Nov. 2018 ). Went to use my flashlight the other night and it would not illuminate. Brought the flashlight inside and changed the batteries and it worked fine. The next morning, just for my own piece of mind, I put the previous batteries back in the flashlight and seeing as they had warmed up to room temperature they too worked fine. Put the flashlight back in the Yukon and waited until the temperatures dropped after nightfall and again, no illumination. These batteries are basically worthless for anything other than indoor applications. By the way, Energizer Alkaline batteries work just fine in cold temperatures so I don't want to hear the "should have bought lithium batteries" comments.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot worth the cheap price
September 4, 2019
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I received these batteries on July 22, 2019. Today is September 4, 2019. I know I didn’t install these batteries in my wall clock the day i got them, but for the sake of argument let’s say I did. Yesterday when i got home from work, the battery in the clock was dead. That is 21 days, or 3 weeks. This battery replaced one that had been in the same clock for well over a year.

1.0 out of 5 starsSometimes you need to pay the price for the name brand.
April 6, 2018
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I bought these becasue it was Christmas and I bough a lot of crap for my boys that inevitability would need batteries and I wanted to be prepared... the cost respectable for the amount of batteries I received however the battery life was disappointing. I mean my son doesn’t use his tv remote that much for batteries to last less than 2 weeks. I also used them in my PC mouse... that experiment lasted maybe 1 week and that’s with me turning the wireless mouse off when it wasn’t in use. I won’t be a return customer.

1.0 out of 5 stars3 out of 4 leaked first time charging
July 17, 2018
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
I have been buying Amazon Basics rechargeable for years, no problems. But this batch (grey with yellow tops) were bad. I put a pack of 4 in the charging station and 3 out of four started hissing and leaked battery juice all over my charger. I've never had a problem with previous rechargeable batteries, so it's just this particular supply. Get a different maker!

1.0 out of 5 starsnone of them work.
December 24, 2016
Size: 20 PackStyle: AAAVerified Purchase
They were duds. I bought them before christmas so I could stick them in the toys and not one worked. I tried them on other items to make sure it wasn't the toys and not the batteries . Nope , it was all of the batteries. I only give one star for the reason I got them on time ....now I have a box of triple a batteries that don't work . so glad I caught that before christmas or I would have had disappointed children on christmas.
