      You okay mate? You seem triggered

        Maybe he/she is running out of batteries.

        You okay mate? You seem triggered depleted.

      • Based on the number of negs 0 0 0 has received I'd say he's not the triggered one.

        Yep I'm OK, obviously getting early to stop the whingers didn't work. I've just recently ordered a bunch of NiMH batteries fwiw so I'm not anti rechargeables or green initiatives but disposable alkalines have a place. They can also be recharged at least six times and reused.

        • Recharged? How, and is it safe?

          • +1

            @ticket65: Trickle chargers, they have a micro controller that adjusts the charge rate, I've had one since the early 2000's. Alkaline batteries are made to "break" on recharge by the manufacturers, it's very much a planned obsolescence thing.

      You're not you when you're hungry.

      • SUPERMODELS!

    • Now who needs the fire service?

    • You're out of the loop, that's when I don't use rechargeable.

    • Genuine question - what are those use-cases? Extremely low draw devices (remotes and similar) would be one, and I’ve very occasionally come across devices that don’t like play nice with the lower typical voltage of rechargeables. Are there any other significant ones?

      • Remotes, smoke alarms, motion sensors, door sensors. All of these things can amount to the largest battery consumers by volume in the household.

        • Need to get on the Zigbee / Thread train if you're still using AA or AAAs in motion and door sensors ;-) Thanks for clarifying.

          • @ironclad: Oh I'm using ZigBee sensors. But CR2032, CR2 and CR2450 are much more expensive than AA alkalines.

    So much batteries for a low price! 👍

    Ahh…a dream come true for a 90’s kid with a GameGear 😭

      Lol they'd barely last a week

    Thanks, I got the AAAs

  • Never bought these but seems like good value.
    How do these stack up against Duracell etc?

    • +20

      When I did a round-up of AA/AAA cells back in 2022 (https://goughlui.com/2022/11/12/round-up-aa-aaa-cells-2022-p…), I tested the AmazonBasics one and found it fared relatively well beating out most of the others (https://goughlui.com/2022/11/13/round-up-aa-aaa-cells-2022-p…).

      That being said, your mileage may vary, simply because the way an alkaline cell performs has a strong dependence on how it is used. Some cells work better at low drain than high drain, and vice-versa, plus there can be batch-to-batch variances especially with house-brands where the supplier can change from time to time. Nevertheless, I think the general consensus with these have been mostly positive.

      Edit: Why the neg? :( I'm not suggesting one should buy Alkalines in preference to rechargeables. With the advent of 1.5V Li-Ion rechargeables, many applications can be taken care of in that regard, although at a cost.

      • What do you think about Kmart Akalines? Came in about 0.36 per unit any day of the year.

        • Disposable batteries constantly undergo rebadging games. Kmart batteries used to be under their "Performer" brand for many years. BigW's used to be under "Chevron". Now it's "Anko" and "Brilliant Basics" respectively.

          Cannot really comment on it as I've not tried them (I presume you're talking about the Anko 18pk "performance" alkalines). I would expect them to be fairly similar to the other Chinese generic ones that get rebadged - but I can't confirm unless I buy some and run them through the gauntlet (which I'm not currently intending to do, but you have definitely planted a seed in my mind should I ever get the inclination).

          That being said, I don't find myself using AAs all that much nowadays - I'm happily running 10-year old Eneloops in many things and 1.5V Li-Ion rechargeable in others.

      Duracell is a pretty low bar they just don't have to leak for a start :P

      • +2

        Very true. But a lot of the low end cells do, sooner or later. I've not yet had any Amazon Basics leak on me yet (probably haven't had them long enough to leak), but I can definitely say I've been victim to Chevron, Multicomp Pro, IKEA (back when they still sold Alkalines), Juice Bank … in fact, most of the Chinese-made generics …

        But yeah. I've even had Duracells that were leaking in the packet before they were opened … a low bar indeed.

    • +2

      Duracells are crap. Don't buy them unless you want your devices ruined by leaking batteries.

  • +2

    I might have got the bad batch, but these batteries are surviving less than 3 months on basic wall clocks for me. too less for a simple thing.

  • +1

    How many years we can keep them unused without leaking ?

    • Yep that's the big question with alkalines: how much do they leak?

      • +3

        I've never had any Amazon basics leak on me. I must be lucky.

    • +2

      How many years we can keep them unused without leaking ?

      rest assured, you need not worry about that. according to some of the 1-star reviews, they either don't last long or come pre-discharged for your convenience.

      • Nice of Amazon, we get to throw em away soon as we open them instead of waiting around waiting for the charge to deplete. My experience has been fairly positive, though I only used them for flashlights, remote controls and my Xbox controller.

  • +1

    Have bought these and the AAAs before and would not buy again. They don't last as long as Energizers or Duracells and its not even close. They die very quickly.

    • +1

      Hence their name 'Basics'

  • whats the capacity?

  • You get batteries, You get batteries, You get batteries ! Ya”all get Batteries !!

  • Won’t buy anymore. The battery drain like crazy. I mean crazy fast. It probably last for few days of using for toys but Duracell can last for weeks or months.

  • Bring back when this was on sale for $13.67

  • Where do you all store 100 batteries. I have enough trouble storing 10.

    And then disposing
    Do you throw 100 in the trash or drop them off I. Deposit points?

    I just don't understand. Guess I have no battery powered stuff beyond keyboards and tv remotes.

    • +1

      I dispose of them at the local Aldi

  • With due respect why buy single use ones. Now you can even get rechargeables with 1.5 although you have to look for them

    • Probably cost.
      ROI likely not high enough for most people

  • 51 cents less gathers 5x+ votes lolzzz

    and given the up sized cash back rates back then the net discount is probably nil or less than 51c.

    • Yeah deals during Prime Day don't get as many votes, if they don't hit the front page after posting, which is also harder to do, due to the mass amount of posts.

  • The quality is bad, barely lasts a few weeks with low usage

    • Don't buy those, they are zinc batteries, not alkaline. Zinc batteries are cheaper elsewhere, eg but not good value vs alkaline.

    Down to $27.19 now.
