The 24 pack includes 12x AA and 12x AAA.
Amazon Basics 72 Pack AA High-Performance Alkaline Batteries
Amazon Basics 100 Pack AAA High-Performance Alkaline Batteries
CamelCamelCamel.
My last lot of 100 AA purchased about 1.5yrs ago have run out a few months ago. Were $20 back then.
Still have some of the 100 AAA though
were they good or comparable to the bunny or energizer? cheers
Bought the 100 1.5 years ago too; almost as good but the price makes up for it
cheers
They beat Duracell hands down. Duracell ALWAYS LEAK!
Duracell? More like Drainacell, amirite?
Weird, Energizer often leak for me. Even a set of their rechargeable batteries leaked (many years ago). Duracell have always been fine.
I buy them from retail stores so fakes are unlikely.
@Loopholio: Current Energizer packaging says:
"GUARANTEE: We will repair or replace at our option, any device damaged by these Energizer batteries. Guarantee void if batteries are charged by user or device."
They are the only brand I use for the past 10 years and have never had leaks, unlike Duracell and the now defunct Dick Smith branded batteries.
@psdillon: If you read the energizer closely it mentions up to 2 years operational life before leak on the their line of batteries.
what do i do with 100 AAA's
Start an only fans
Interesting
A couple of old Wii controllers unused in a drawer will chew through those in no time.
Would have been a huge relief as a ‘gift’ to a kid with a Sega GameGear back in the day. 😅
Definitely! That thing used what, 6 batteries? And it drained them really quickly as well. We had to use a car adaptor when travelling just to be able to play long enough
Oh yeah I had one as a kid. I once bought a cheap set of Black and Gold AAs for it. They lasted less than five minutes.
Price you paid for having a colour screen. Gameboy lasted a week but monochrome
Haha nice
Still working on packs of each i got years ago. Now the kids are older and have rc toys they are burning faster.
Did somebody say Eneloop?
Nope
Lol
Yes, but it was from the other castle.
I’ve still go my eneloops from 10 years ago and my tenergys from even longer
Are these good compared to other normal batteries ?
Varta similar price from bunnings
This, is, Varta-AAA
I'm never buying Varta again after I had a bunch of AAAs leak in the packaging ~4 years before expiry.
Made in China or made in Germany ones?
Made in Germany, 2027 expiry.
@Hiphopopotamus: Hey, you got your kinks, but we aint into leaky batteries are we brother.
Can't believe in 2024 people trust products just because they're MiG' or 'MiJ.' Especially after the scandals involving Volkswagen, Toyota and more…..
I've never had Vartas leak and I've purchased so many in the past. Bad batch?
Entirely possible, but with other options for similar prices there's no reason to give them another chance.
Anyone know how these compare to Aldi ones? I know Varta are crap but heard aldi ones are decent?
Use rechargeable battery if possible, only use these battery if i have to. 12 pack last for years.
Same. These are useful for some toys and devices that drain then really slowly, eg. a wall clock, a kitchen timer, etc
Or recharge the alkalines
Not sure why I was negged but I recharge my alkalines at least twice if they'll take a charge
What charge rate do you use? I'm nervous to try this.
For high drain devices - yes
For kids toys or remotes - I don't bother. They either get thrown out or given away
Why would anyone buy disposable batteries? They’re ultimately more expensive than rechargeables and toxic pieces of rubbish when spent.
Because recharging batteries is super time-consuming and difficult compared to just pulling them out of a packet and throwing old ones in the bin /s
So convenience trumps looking after the environment? I have more batteries than I need and put charged ones in when needed and put the spent ones in the charger. It doesn’t consume much time, really.
Note /s at end of sentence
16k was being sarcastic but there are plenty of people out there who value convenience over the environment. Don't have to look very far to find them either.
Because I don't want to pay $X for a rechargeable battery that I use in my remote for 1.5 years and will get charged 5x in 10 years
Sometimes a device might not be happy with the 1.2v that most rechargeable batteries offer compared to 1.5v
It also doesn't help when you need to use multiple, let's say 4, which gives you 4.8v instead of 6v
I've never encountered this problem but I think it's worth noting.
Because "rechargeable batteries are more sustainable than disposables only after you’ve used them at least 50 times".
https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics-computers/batter…
I use a mix of types depending on how often they run out
You don't put an expensive battery somewhere that it is going to end up with the same fate a disposable would. Perhaps you've never lived with children or idiots.
Correct.
If you don’t use battery a lot, better buy rechargeable ones.
Amazon Basics 108 Count Alkaline Battery Super Value Pack - 48 AA + 36 AAA + 8 C + 8 D + 8 9Volt or 55c a battery.
Separately the 9V batteries are on sale for 8/$14.90 or almost $2 each and the C & D batteries are over $2 each.
Are they always this price?
These or Panasonic envelopes?
How are these compares to the Kmart's ones which seem to be more value price wise if not getting the 100 pack? (36c each kmart vs 47.7 amazon)
Anyone has any experience with these batteries, do they leak like Aldi's? They can stay inside remote controls or scales for years.
My are from dec 21, no issues leaving them in toys and remotes
As a parent that has kids 100 batteries is a godsend. Feels like every toy needs 2-4aa batteries.
i can finally power my sega game gear and atari lynx for 2 hours of game play with the 72 pack :D
what do ppl think of 'Amazon basic' overall value?
My 40+ rechargeable batteries purchased 10+ years ago and all still working great (at least 15+ in spares), it is cheaper in long term, especially for the devices need to change battery less than 2 years. I got 12 packs AA and AAA Alkaline years ago, still has plenty left. No need to go officeworks disposal the used batteries is another big bonus.
More varieties are reduced but these stuck out to me, the 24 pack in particular seems like it would be useful for households that barely use disposable batteries.
