Rayovac AA Batteries, Alkaline Double A Battery, 72 Count

Good item

LET ME START BY SAYING I HAVE BEEN A DURACELL BATTERY USER FOR YEARS! MOST RECENTLY I HAVE TRIED COSTCO’S KIRKLAND & AMAZON BASICS. THE DURACELLS ARE A LITTLE BETTER THAN COSTCO’S & AMAZON’S, BUT QUITE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE! I USE A LOT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT SIZES OF BATTERIES IN MY MECHANICAL BATTERY OPERATED TIN TOYS, 1950’s & 1960’s VINTAGE THAT HAVE BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF! & NOW VERY VALUABLE TO COLLECTORS LIKE ME. ALSO 70’s/80’s/90’s/2000’s/2010’s & 2020’s MORE MODERN, BUT STILL BATTERY OPERATED TOYS! MY BIG BEEF IS THAT ALL THE PREVIOUS BRANDS MENTIONED HAVE CORRODED & LEAKED ACID WHICH IS THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO THE TOYS OR ANY OTHER DEVICE THAT YOU PUT THESE POORLY MADE BATTERIES INTO! (IT ESSENTIALLY DESTROYS WHATEVER YOU PUT THEM INTO!!!). NOW ENTER RAYOVAC! HIGH ENERGY! AFTER READING A LOT OF AMAZON REVIEWS! I DECIDED TO BUY THESE 72-AA ONES TO GIVE THEM A TRY. (MADE IN THE USA!). ACCORDING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE & RAYOVAC ADVERTISING THESE BATTERIES DO-NOT & WILL NOT CORRODE & LEAK! IF THAT IS TRUE I WILL BE BUYING A LOT MORE IN ALL SIZES AAA/AA/C/D/& 9-VOLTS!. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST ONES OUT-THERE! THESE 72-AA ONES CAME IN A STRONG PLAIN THICK CARDBOARD BOX! (GREAT PACKAGING RAYOVAC-KEEP IT UP! I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW AFTER I HAVE USED THESE RAYOVAC’S AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME! *UPDATE-IT HAS BEEN APPROX 7-MONTHS SINCE I SWITCHED TO RAYOVAC’S. I RECENTLY DID MY OWN TEST WITH BATTERY OPERATED SNOW GLOBES. I PUT DURACELL’S IN FIRST & RECORDED THE DAY & TIME! WHEN THE SNOW GLOBE STOPPED OPERATING, AGAIN I RECORDED THE DAY & TIME. I THEN INSTALLED THE RAYOVACS & SAME PROCEDURE RECORDED INSTALLATION DATE & DATE THEY STOPPED WORKING! HAPPY TO REPORT THE RAYOVAC’S OUTPERFORMED THE DURACELL’S BY 1-DAY & 1-HOUR!!! SO IT’S TRUE MY TEST PROVED TO ME THAT RAYOVAC’S OUTLAST DURACELL’S! (PLUS THE NO-CORROSION FEATURE MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER!!!).

For the sake of argument I will be comparing these to energizer batteries, since that is the other set of batteries I've used in the past with similar products. These are cheap (much cheaper if you buy in bulk when there's no sale on the major brands). For me, my family goes through batteries faster than office party goes through a birthday cake! Especially with COVID, auto trashcans are being opened more often, remotes are getting more daily use, camping adventures lead to a need for lighting, etc. These batteries work great but their lifespan is definitely less than that of the energizer I used to use. But the fact that they are much cheaper on average kind of makes up for that difference. my recommendation would be, get these if you need batteries or don't run through them on a monthly (multi-month) basis. If there's a sale going on that makes the name brand...get those as they'll likely last longer.

I primarily buy these in this quantity for use in hunting game cameras. I have quite a few cameras so it makes sense to buy quite a few batteries. The first time I used them I was honestly amazed at how long they lasted. I’m talking months of use in cold weather and hundreds of pictures or videos. This is third year that I’ve bought them and they seem to work very well for me. And the price is right.

These are very good quality batteries. I’ve used a major drug store chain batteries for years and they have always worked well with a long life. I bought another manufacturers on Prime that lasted half the time. I decided to try these and I’m not disappointed. I use AA’s for my game cameras that are in temperatures from below freezing to the 90s in direct sun. These Rayovacs have performed well with no short term power loss. There is a steady slow drain at an acceptable pace as they should be as the cameras take hundreds a pictures a week. These are excellent quality batteries at a terrific price.
