    1 star since I can’t leave no stars. These batteries are no good. I opened the package and tried to use them this week and the date on them is September 2028. Of course they don’t work and Best Buy wouldn’t give me a refund or exchange them and they no longer even carry their own brand. I wonder why? I was warned about Best Buy. Lesson learned. Duracell always works!

    They do the trick but don't seem to last as long as the major brands (Energizer, Duracell, etc.)

    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.

    Not long lasting like Duracell but these batteries do meet the basic need if you just need AA batteries.
