Insignia™ - AA Batteries (48-Pack)

I used these batteries to power my Christmas wreath and aso installed in my battery operated candles I put in my windows for the holidays. Well the wreath batteries which took 3 AA, that died in 4 days. previous years the Duracell batteries or Energizers I used would last me the entire season of about 6 weeks and I could remove them and use them in another low power item like a remote; not these Insignia batteries though. In the battery operated candles (which took 2 AA) they died after 8 hours of use. Again, that has never happened. I had candles in all windows so I burned through half a pack of this value pack in one night. I will NEVER AGAIN buy this. I've had Dollar Tree and Aldi batteries that last longer than these. I bought this large pack for about $8. That is the only reason I am giving this 2 stars and not 1.

I bought these batteries because they seemed to be a bargain. BIG mistake. opened the box and poped a set into my Nikon camera flash to prepare for a big trip. They would not charge the flash to use. Tried various others in the set and none of them would work. I thought they were dead but I put a set in my TV remote and they worked. Very Undercharged. When I tried to return them to the store and explained my situation. The Staff hard cored me and said they would not take them back, Lousy product. This is the Best Buy brand. It definitely was a crappy buy. Big waste of money.. Lousy customer service to top it off. Live and learn next time I will go to Lowes and buy the batteries there, at Ieast I know work since I got my last set there.

I've learned over time, that Insignia is a BestBuy exclusive generic product line, offering more than just batteries, but a whole line of many quality electronic items at great low prices. Their batteries are A+, last a long time, and often appear in the Deal of the Day specials, with a savings of 50% or more. I recommend buying the bulk packs, the deals are phenomenal, and they store for a very long time without losing quality. Just be sure to check the expire dates, (which are always at least 2-3 years), to get the maximum benefit. My only negative, which isn't a negative at all, is that you shouldn't use these batteries in products that would be best serviced with high-end lithium batteries, b/c they won't last very long if you do.

Honestly these batteries the Insignia brand are just as good as real vac batteries and you saved $2 not bad would I buy these on a continuous basis if they continue to perform up to my expectations yes I would buy and continue to buy the Best Buy brand of double a batteries that I use on my radio scanner that I bought I have a Uniden radio scanner and I use a lot of double a batteries but you know just in case of an emergency house and need the batteries for flashlights and things so again they're just as good as real vac and a pack of 48 of real vac or about costs about $16.99 and a pack of Insignia cost about $14.99. So again to see the next couple of bucks yeah I'll go with no name brand or store brand you to see if couple of box so if you're going to stock up on a lot of batteries Best Buy's Insignia brand is not bad already you guys have luck and if you find it on sale buy it on sale

These batteries are every bit as good as the Big name brands, and when you get them on the Deal of the Day, they are one of the best values around. I bought a pack to use in my trail cameras, since they take 6 to 8 batteries (depending on brand) each. I was pleasantly surprised with the length of time they lasted, especially being exposed to cold temperatures. I sat the cameras out in August and in the end of November the batteries were still showing well over half life. I was happy with this considering the cameras were taking an average of 500 pictures a week, many of those after dark where the infrared flash was using extra battery power too. Don’t hesitate... buy these batteries. You won’t be sorry.

These batteries last as long in my devices as any other brand name or not AA cells that I have ever used. I h ave never found a dud or one that displayed a =n unusual short life. The only thing that disappointed me was the last batch of 48 purchased from Best Buy only had a 5-year service date. Nealy all alkaline batteries purchased these days have a 10-year shelf life. Maybe mine was from an old stock that had been shoved to the back of the shelf in the warehouse. In any case it wasn't what I have come to expect from Best Buy. I definitely recommend these batteries for any general use application. For any device that is "mission critical" I always use lithium batteries but use these for everything else.

I purchase these in both AA and AAA when they go on sale in the large quanity size when I see for the weekend as they are discounted often during the year. I have intricate rechargeable batteries of different types and advanced chargers showing Min/MAx, etc...I am a battery dork. Purchasing any kind of disposable batteries will get you hung upside down in that circle. The fact is I have tons of electronics with a multitude of remote controls, switches and various simple not often used devices throughout which if you are reading this-YOU do as well and these are what the Insignia Brand batteries are for and far outlast the big brands from my usage. When these are reduced for AA, you cant beat that deal. Always take any battery out if not using a device for months at a time though just a reminder.

I've been buying these batteries for years now. Not a single leak, not a single dead battery, nothing wrong at all. They last a long time, and are a decent value. On top of that, I look for them when they go on sale, which makes them an even better value. I used to get rechargeable batteries, and then I started to do the math and realized how costly this got to be. It is also nice to have batteries with a long shelf life that can be there when the power is out, or whatever, without having to find the discharged rechargeables and then have to charge them. So, you can buy these with confidence and without hesitation. I've been doing this with Best Buy branded batteries for years now.
