RayovacHigh Energy AA Batteries (48 Pack), Double A Alkaline Batteries

The Rayovac brand which is made by Energizer is comparable to the Amazon Basics Brand in price and quality. Both boast a shelf life of 10 years and a similar ranking shown here at Amazon in overall customer satisfaction. The areas where Rayovac excels over Amazon Basics and most other competitors in a similar price range is that their batteries are clearly marked Made in the US. Granted, Duracell can also boast a similar claim but their price is typically considerably higher and any concerns over leakage isn't any greater in one brand versus the other. The key is to replace all your batteries at the same time in the same battery powered unit. Never mix zinc-oxide batteries with alkaline batteries or a potential disaster is bound to eventually happen. Be aware that weaker older batteries left in the unit can also result in premature leakage when you add newer batteries among them by adversely weakening the polarity of all the batteries in that current device they're installed. A leakage with all new batteries installed unless exposed to the elements of weather is highly irregular with most any devices in use when the batteries themselves are installed properly. Another advantage of purchasing Rayovac batteries relates to how they're packaged. They arrive in a resealable and reusable plastic container which appeared undamaged in shipping upon arrival. (SEE PIC) The batteries themselves also looked intact, not used and arrived in pristine condition. I did read in prior reviews of some concerns by some customers in not being able to verify the expiration date on the batteries which they had recently delivered. You can read the expiration date clearly on the lower side portion of your battery where the negative side of the battery connects. My batteries purchased show a shelf life until 12/2033. (SEE PIC) Granted that is a shelf life date when the batteries are stored under the most opportune conditions Obviously, that isn't always likely the case for the average user with myself included. I primarily use my batteries in my remote control devices like my wireless computer mouse and PC keyboard. I can't yet attest to Rayovac's battery longevity versus other brands but I would expect them to last as long as the comparable higher priced Duracell batteries that I'm currently using or any other US made AA battery currently sold right now by Energizer. I always try to stock up on my AA batteries during Prime Days and around the holidays when prices are typically lower. In closing, I'm very happy with this Rayovac purchase and I'm looking forward to putting them to the actual usage test against the Amazon Basic and Duracell batteries that I'm currently using in all my electronic devices. I trust that I won't be disappointed. Rest assured my friends, I'll let you know what happens.

Great size and cost if you use a lot of batteries. I like rayovac the best. Never had one leak and last a long time. Will always use rayovac. NC

These are consistently good batteries at a great price. However, all three packs were stuffed into a padded envelope, which was crushed, and all the batteries were loose. This is not an acceptable way to ship batteries, Amazon! A box would be a much better choice.

They're batteries, so I don't want to get carried away, but this was a very good price for a lot of batteries.

Durable, good capacity batteries. Recommend.

Well worth the purchase

RAYOVAC has been producing consumer batteries for decades and I like that they are made/assembled in America.These batteries work well in all my devices. They seem well made and perform as expected. Super value for the money.

Great Item! Great Price! Great Value versus retail version of like product!
