    One-fourth the life of Duracell

    Disappointed in the life of these batteries. Previously I have used Duracell our wildlife camera and did not expect Best Buy Essential batteries to live up to a major name brand. Our Garde-Pro camera uses 8 AA batteries. The Duracells last about a month, the first batch of Best Buy Essentials last 7 days. Same settings, like for like comparison. Will not buy again.

    I brought these batteries thinking I would get a better deal due to the batteries being a best buy brand, I was truly wrong. I can only listen to a cd player at work and these batteries barely gives me a listening time of 2 days. I have gone thru this pack of batteries in less than a month time, Needless to say I will not be purchasing this band ever again.

    I use these for my digital pen. I am a teacher and use my pen to model math. Several batteries didn't work at all and several only worked for an hour before losing charge. Waste of money and will stick with Energizer.

    Every single battery in this pack would not power my sweater shaver. It's basically the only thing I need these batteries for and not one of them would work. Rayovac, Energizer, Duracell, Amazon Basics....all powered it up just fine. Best Buy Essentials were DOA. I want my money back, but I am past the return period. I am super upset.

    I got them for my kids camera, as we put them on the percentage via the camera said that the batteries were about 50% and we took a photo and the batteries drained to almost nothing. i would say the batteries would be more suitable for controllers for the tv but thats it.
