    Best Buy Insignia Batteries are underpowered

    The Best Buy batteries last only a very short length of time. I bought them because they cost less money. But it is such a waste of time changing batteries all the time and having batteries cut out on me when I need them, I would have been better off buying a decent brand.

    Does the job, but doesn't last as long as other name brands. Still, use it for TV remotes or backups for the flashlight.
