    I have purchased batteries numerous times from Best Buy and have been very satisfied. Every battery in this package did not have a full charge. Would last up to 2 weeks. Finally, I just threw all of the unused batteries away. Very frustrating

    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.

    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.

    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.
