Maxell723815P Ready-to-go Long Lasting and Reliable Alkaline Battery AAA Cell 36-Pack with High Compatibility

I trust Maxell brand.

The last as long as everready batteries and great bargain price!

As expected

Maxell is an established electronics giant that’s been a great consumer electronics source for many decades. It’s a “brand name” that protects its solid reputation by providing excellent quality products.Alkaline batteries is one of their product categories I rely on to have on hand 24/7. Great shelf life, great battery life and a wonderful bargain at the same time.

I don't go through AAA batteries extremely quickly. Most of the things that I use them for are rather efficient (like remotes, led flash lights, etc). I'm always mad when I have to buy any kind of battery because they cost so much. So that's why I go for big packs of less expensive brands. Maxell batteries on Amazon are the best value I've found (at least for AAAs). And this pack comes in a sturdy box which is great for me because it will probably be jostled around a bit before I go through the whole pack.These batteries last just as long as any other AAAs that I've bought...So, lets get one thing straight. All alkaline batteries are almost identical from brand to brand. The construction and physical durability may vary, but the problem of longevity usually does not come from the manufacturer. The quality and longevity issues are affected by it's age and the reliability of the merchant. The cheap generic batteries at a dollar store are most likely more than 3 years old and have probably been stored in cold and hot temperatures. True, a super cheap brand tends to produce a super cheap battery. But one AAA Alkaline battery made today by maxell or rayovac is going to perform almost exactly like a AAA Alkaline battery made today by Duracell or Energizer. When buying in a store check the expiration dates on the batteries (it should be printed on the packaging or on the batteries themselves). If they don't list one, then don't buy them. And don't buy batteries from a discount vender (a flea market, a thrift store, your neighbor).The maxell batteries that I bought from amazon in February 2010 have an expry of 01-2015 (it's printed both on the batteries and on the front of the box). So they are fresh and sold by amazon, one of the most reliable merchants in the world.

Note: This review is being written before I've had the chance to see how long these batteries actually last.The way I see it, even if these last half as long as a Duracell or Energizer, I'm still doing alright because of the low cost of the bulk purchase. The batteries come packaged in a re-closeable paper box that's not as solid as the ones used for the Amazon brand batteries but good enough to keep batteries from spilling everywhere every time I move them around.I've been through a boat-load of battery brands lately, looking for that price/performance sweet spot. My previous bargain priced choice was Everready batteries that a local dollar store used to carry, with Panasonic branded alkalines a good second choice. The Everreadys have become sporadic, so online has been my next stop. I've already gone through a sizable Amazon Basics AA box and except in one super high drain device, they've lasted a minimum of two months so far with no duds. But I wanted to try these while I could since I've used Maxells in the past and had good luck with them. With luck, I'll be amending this review a few months from now to report on how long they last in the various devices (mice, outdoor/indoor temperature/time units, remote controls) that I have around the house.

This is the second time I purchase these batteries. The first time around (a while back) it seemed like we had a couple of duds in the pack... most batteries worked great but every once in a while we would use one that seemed to not work well or die fast. I didn't pay much attention, I figured maybe the device we were using was faulty or maybe we had mixed batteries when taking them out and I was using an old one, or something else had happened. I did decide not to buy these any more and to stick with different brand when we ran out of these. We stuck with other brands for a while, and did not have these issues. Well, I was browsing online looking for batteries again recently and I saw the price for these was good, so I thought I would go ahead and give them another chance (they seemed to have good reviews). Well, once again I would give someone batteries for a device and they would come back later asking for more... This morning I decided to check it out myself and gave my son 2 new batteries so he could play wii with his siblings. I changed the batteries myself to make sure they got changed properly. Less than an hour into the game the wii machine said his remote had lost connectivity. I took the batteries out, they felt very warm, I placed them back in the remote, and it still didn't work. I took two new batteries from the pack, put them in, and the remote started working flawlessly. The other two kids did not have issues regardless of the fact that they we playing the same amount of time. Maybe there is some other variable that affected the remote, but after changing the batteries the second time the remote has continued to work without issues.

Measured specs average of 5 batteries:1.62 volts (no load)11.6 gramsSpecs:Made in China for Hitachi Maxellbest before 2018 09.So far I see no difference in quality from Duracell or Energizer.A random observations: they weight just as much as my Duracell rechargeable and 4 grams more than a Rayovac AAA battery.

It's a value pack. Somehow they manage to fit 48 AA size batteries in a small box and ship to me across the country. I don't know how they do it, I'm just glad they can. I sit them on my desk and admire them daily. It's good to be alive.

Similar duration as famous brands, but half of the price.Thing I dislike, it came without any individual package(usually 4 pack).But it don't bother me because I used it mostly for household applications such as remote controls, clocks, flashlights, thermometers and etc.

Since a couple of years, I always buy my batteries on Amazon. You get usually more for the same price compared to conventional stores. Not easy to compare one battery brand to an other but I thing Maxell is a good one. They last a long time in the equipments where I put them. They didn't drip also, which happens ofter with low quality batteries.

I chose these on the basis of price. Reviews say that they don't last as long as some other brands, but that wasn't a factor for me, and, anyway the savings in price more than made up for the likely shorter life.
