 I have no problems with these. Maybe I got lucky? January 4, 2009
Maybe I got lucky. I've used about 60 out of the 100 pack, and all of them were perfect.
I got these for the Wii and the XBOX 360 controllers. And they always come up with full bars, and they never start fading prematurely. When I'm using the Wii regularly (2-4 hours a day), the batteries start fading after a week. I've seen the batteries in the Wii go dead after no use countless times, but this happened all the time with Duracell batteries too. Its the fault of the controller. I got tired of expensive Duracell batteries going dead after one small session with the Wii controller. So I figured I'd get the cheap ones, and not care about the Wii burning batteries when I'm not using it because these are so darn cheap.
Forget about these reviews and just try them out. You can try a smaller pack. They also sell these at Frys Electronics, and if they are really that bad as some of these comments say (half dead out of the box which is absurd and not true in my case), you can definitely return them. Worst case scenario you lose a few bucks. Best case scenario you save a lot of money. Until I get a bad batch, I'm a customer for life. I won't buy any other brand these days for my game controllers and remotes.
I understand that there is a tradeoff and there will be some inconsistancies with quality control, but for 1/4 to 1/2 the price I am not expecting military grade.
 The bad reviews don't do these justice..... December 13, 2008

Bought some of these at Micro Center. Absolute worst batteries I've ever purchased. More than half were dead out of the box. Not even good for remotes. Had to cycle through batteries in search of two good ones just to get a channel change. In no way is the price worth the stress or the number of batteries that actually worked. Winning combinations usually lasted a week anyway. An 8 pack of Duracell would beat these. Awful experience.

This bulk purchase provides value as well as performance equivalent to name brand batteries in digital cameras, toys, MP3's, and other heavy-duty uses.

I bought 100 of these batteries a year ago. They have been fine for radios, remote controls and other undemanding gadgets. I don't know if it's the humidity or the nature of the batteries, but some have now started to leak. I've thrown away about 20 and have the same number left.
If these batteries suit your purposes, I would suggest buying a smaller pack and using them quickly, rather than hoarding a large number as I did.

I'd give these a zero rating if I could. I thought they would be a good value, but they only have about 25% (or less) the power of a good name brand battery. I tried these in my pager and they only last about a week vs. 4-6 weeks for a good battery. I used them in a label maker and I could only print 4 labels before they died. I'm half way done with a 100 pack and they all have the same short life.
