    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!

    Not overly impressed w the quality of these batteries, but considering the cost of good batteries like the energizer lithium ur getting a pack of 48 here for about the cost of just 4 of the good ones. So for the price I guess it. Makes sense but … I did expect longer life span.

    Possibly the worst batteries I have purchased. Needed to change my TV remote batteries monthly. It should last way longer then that, Amazon batteries last for 4 - 5 months.

    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.

    They’re decent. Doesn’t work with hardware that uses a lot of energy like a smart lock. But does it’s job with toys.
