Memorex High Performance AA Alkaline Batteries, 50 Pack Reviews

• Good batteries

  
  By A5JLAU2ARJ0BO on 2004-10-01
  At 30 cents a piece (=60 cents a pair), these Memorex batteries are good alkaline batteries. However, don't expect to use them in digital cameras, as they won't last long. For digital cameras that take AA you should use NiMH rechargeable batteries. The Memorex is great for other electronics such as CD players, MP3 players, portable radios, etc.

  These batteries last as long as the name brands. We use these in pager, book lights, and a few different types of medical diagnostic equipment, without any problems.
  Consumer reports did a study on alkaline batteries and found them all to be pretty much the same, no matter where they were made, or how much they cost.
  So save your self some money.
  
  

• On rechargeable batteries

  
  By A1J11HYXGAQQNQ on 2005-02-08
  In response to Sina Neshatian (1/16/05): I gave up on rechargeable batteries because: 1) They don't take as much charge as alkaline, even when brand new; and 2) They run down far more quickly. I think they would be very appropriate for uses less demanding than mine.
  
  

• Memorex Batteries

  
  By ADTVFZG1VGBRC on 2005-01-02
  I was disappointed. These were not the Memorex Batteries I usually see, these are made in China and look like knock offs.
  
  I haven't used them yet, so they may be O.K., expecially at that price, but I feel like I was missled.
  
  I also found I could buy Batteries at Costco for the same price.
  
  

• Great deal! Rechargables? Watch out for lower voltage!

  
  By A1QEWGUL7NAW3I on 2005-03-22
  Great deal, now at 20¢ each.
  When thinking about rechargeable batteries,
  be aware that many (if not all) have a full
  charge voltage of 1.25V, while the alkalines
  have 1.5V -- some equipment, like the flash
  attachment on my digital camera, will NOT work
  with 4 rechargeable batteries (5V) but WILL WORK
  with 4 alkalines (6V). Test before making major
  purchases...
  
  
• Didn't last long for me
  By ALEINHY3PAZIK on 2006-04-08
  I use a portable Discman that takes 2 double A's, and just finished my multpack of Energizers. So based on its reviews I tried these out. However in my discplayer, these last only about 2 weeks before I get a low battery indication. With the Energizers I only had to change them once a month.
  
  With other electronics such as remote controls, you may not notice the performance diffrence.
  
  
• Great batteries, great value (but price and availability fluctuates)
  By A3M3TO7L7CAJ98 on 2005-12-30
  I bought these batteries three weeks ago from Amazon -- they were a pretty good deal for the price, and I'm happy with my purchase. If Amazon still offered them, I'd buy more now. Unfortunately, (at least as of today) they're no longer available from Amazon; the price is the same as I paid earlier this month, but the seller is now J&R Music rather than Amazon, so the additional shipping charges have nearly doubled the effective cost. Look for other batteries from Amazon instead. (A reasonable price is twenty to twenty-five cents per battery.)
  
  
• Non-rechargeable batteries??? What???
  By A3J6RNVRFWMK91 on 2005-01-16
  Why the deuce would anyone buy batteries that are not rechargeable??? They would pay for themselves dozens of times in a lifetime, and they will potentially save waste. It's like people buying cell phones that had to have their batteries replaced every time they ran out. It's absolutely ludicrous.
  
  
• Decent for the price...
  By A1N4PU7TS3S7UK on 2005-12-21
  usually when i buy batteries in bulk, i store them in a cool place or even the fridge... i used these batteries in my digi cam that just ate batteries like crazy... worked out very well but i ended up switching to rechargables on the digi cam and used the rest of these for my remot controls...
  
  
• Great item for the price
  By A265M6WN5N46DW on 2006-04-01
  How can you beat the price??? I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com.
  
  
• I'm amazed
  By A1MRA8G2E7K9CC on 2006-04-04
  Wow, 50 batteries for 9 bux is a DEAL! And of course, it lasts as long as a name brand battery if your going to use it for small devices (cd player, clock, etc...)
  
  Get sumthing else if your going to use these for a camera.
  
  
• Great Value
  By A32V0X581UKL5P on 2005-12-13
  This is the second time that I have purchased this product. I am very pleased with the value and the life of the batteries. I bought them for $9.99 and free shipping.I am an avid shopper and this is the best deal I have found. I would highly recommend this product.
  
  
• Good Batteries + Value!
  By A1NHDVOFL107L7 on 2006-01-07
  These batteries actually last a good amount. not like those cheap heavy duty ones. The price for this quality is unmatched. I highly recommended everyone to buy a pack. note: they expire 2010, or at least the ones that I recieved.
  
  
• Not for digital cameras
  By A2THYGRE98CBW7 on 2006-01-31
  These batteries are fine for toys, remote controls, etc, but not for battery eaters like digital cameras. I guess they just don't have high capacity although they are called "high performance". I used to use these in my Canon A510, and 2 batteries would be gone in like 2 hours! It is a big hassle to keep changing batteries, especially when you are travelling. I blamed my camera at first, but when I tried a pair of 2500mah rechargables, I know the difference - The battery life is at least 2-3 times longer!
  
  
• Super deal
  By A121X1DLS3FY5S on 2006-03-15
  my kids go thru alot of batteries and this deal was a blessing.
  they last as long or longer then expensive name brands.
  they work very well.
  i'll do it againg if they have this deal again.
  it works out to be about $.05 each.
  
  
  
• Excellent Buy
  By A1HQ7BO4RWOU6O on 2005-10-26
  Excellent price for AA's and these were shipped in a timely manner. I would purchase these again.
  
  
• Super Deal
  By AQIX3OIQ93D76 on 2006-03-07
  Not only are these batteries a super deal, they also are great batteries.They are just as good as Duracell, but soooo much cheeper :):):)
  
  
• Do the job
  By A23YE95SVEUYZL on 2006-03-19
  Get them on sale. They work just as well as the bigger name brands for a lot less money.
  
  
• leaked in my Grundig radio, what a MESS>
  By A3VTOLNB5N6FVP on 2006-05-31
  I got sucked into this deal about a year ago and can say long term, risky cells.
  It could be because the clock draws even when the radio part is off but I'm
  not willing to chance it again.
  
  
• cheap batteries
  By AK339W3IXD2QF on 2005-10-24
  I really can not find this good everlasting deal in local stores(also I should mention tax). I use this battery for my logitech optical mouse and toothbrush,and it works for months. However I do not suggest you use this battery for some certain cameras which will drive you mad to the anger of changing batteries. But it's not the fault of this battery. I will give a 4 for this battery.
  
  
• Good value for money
  By A2UHQHBMNXZGGO on 2005-10-25
  While these batteries are certainly not as good as the better known brands, and are probably not best used in high-power devices, for smaller electrical devices they will probably last 70% of the life while being 20% of the price.
  
  
• Great batteries for toys!
  By A3GYRM6JM8DHQU on 2006-01-12
  This is a great deal for batteries for all those toys your kids got for Christmas that seem like they each take 20 batteries each!
  I know that my kids got a Step 2 kitchen for Christmas and it takes 14 AA batteries!
  This package of 50 batteries is exactly what we needed and they really last. I haven't had to change any batteries yet, which is a miracle in this household!
  
  
• great buy
  By A1J5DLZJZTLJO6 on 2006-02-17
  50 batteries for $10 seems like just too good of a deal, but everything seems to be in working order. I've been using them for weeks now and they're holding up really well. Plus, they aren't near expiration either! (Mar 2010) This was a really great buy for me because my wireless keyboard/mouse eats up batteries.
  
  
• great for the price
  By ATSVBO8V5MWYA on 2006-02-19
  I bought these at 9.99 -- and they had free super saver shipping. We got 2 packs of batteries and a filler item -- bubble bath -
  well stocked up on batteries for my daughters toys.
  great batteries at a great price
  
  
• Amazing deal!
  By A3QMKCG9TEGS51 on 2006-02-24
  Unbelievable price for a package of 50 high-quality AA batteries! Bought two....they're good until 2010, so I should be in good shape.
  
  
• Great Deal!!!
  By A3PSXJ5R4IPL1D on 2006-02-25
  What a deal! All these batteries for such a low price! I bought them for all of my daughters' numerous toys that require AA's. And so far so good, no problems at all.
  
  
• These are excellent batteries for keeping your portable media going.Good bang for your buck,at 10 bucks wow.
  By A2CL818RN52NWN on 2006-03-08

I thank you Stewart L.
  
  
• Will Buy Again
  By AP1NYXLWK4M4H on 2006-03-10
  Purchased this item when it qualified for free shipping so it was a fantastic deal to get 50 Alkaline batteries for such a price. Am waiting for same deal and will make purchase again.
  
  
• Good Buy
  By AHOVKKHZLQ62E on 2006-03-15
  I use these batteries when I need power immediately and I don't have a set of rechargeables ready to go. I also use them as backups - so I don't get caught without power and have to pay $1 a battery at supermarkets and convenience stores.
  
  Unfortunately, my kids keep stealing them instead of recharging their own set.
  
  
• For What We Use These Batteries For; They Are AA OK!
  By A3W4W7A4KG1GK on 2006-10-04
  AA Batteries sure come in handy around here. We have seven battery operated clocks and all seven use AA's. We also have Remote Controls and a small radio plus other items that use AA's. Now you see why I bought this 50 Pack. The expiration date on my 50 pack is December 2011 and I bought these Batteries from Amazon a few Months ago. For what I use these batteries for; they are holding up great. Priced right too. Definitely worth it!
