AA Alkaline

I've switched to using Allmax batteries for all of my battery needs. They are consistently the best value, and they consistently perform to my expectations. They never fail prematurely and never have corrosion issues. Highly recommend.

2025-06-07. Maximum Power Alkaline Batteries by Allmax. Ultra long lasting. Leakproof design. 10-year shelf life. Maximum performance. 1.5V. Size: AA. Alkaline batteries are essentially your common disposable batteries. They're designed for one-time use and do not have the ability to be recharged. Because there are so many manufacturers out there, there are some basics you need to know about alkaline batteries in general. Voltage. Alkaline batteries all come in 1.5 volts (direct current). 9V batteries are actually made up of 6 smaller 1.5V batteries wrapped in a rectangular casing. Don't believe me? Cut the bottom of one open and you find 6 interconnected 1.5V cells. Capacity. This is how much energy is actually stored inside the cell and the single most important thing you need to know when making your purchase. The unit for capacity is Amp-hour. Amp is short for Ampere and is the standard unit of electrical current. The amp-hour defines how long it can deliver 1 Amp of power per hour. This is more commonly displayed in milli-Amp-hours (mAh). Milli is just the prefix for 1/1000, so 1Ah = 1000mAh. The standard capacity for AA alkaline batteries is anywhere from 2000mAh - 3000mAh. Size. Not all batteries are the same size! Believe it or not, different manufacturers make different size batteries. While they are marginally different, they will still fit in most devices because of the spring. Smaller batteries typically mean they have lesser capacities. Price. The price of the battery doesn't mean much if you don't know the capacity of the battery you're buying. What may be perceived as great value can in fact be the opposite! The brand with the bunny and the copper top are pretty much the gold standard when it comes to alkaline batteries. Their "Max" lines will have anywhere from 2600mAh - 2850mAh depending on the specific line. These batteries will typically work out to about 50¢ apiece when you buy them in bulk (100pcs) and as much as $1.15 apiece in smaller quantities. Here's where the price game comes in. You may find "bargain" priced batteries out there for 25¢ apiece; however, they may only have a capacity of 800mAh per battery. If you've read any of my other reviews, you'll know I'm all about VALUE. The math is pretty simple here, the "bargain" battery is 2/3 less than the capacity of the "gold standard" brands, yet the cost is only decreased by 50% rather than 67%. In this scenario, the bunny and the copper top is better value. The flipside can also be true; sometimes, the lesser brands may offer slightly less capacity and be significantly cheaper. The takeaway here is to find out the capacity (mAh) of the battery you're looking to buy. Now that you know what the major brands charge and how much capacity they have, you can do a quick comparison to see if it's a better value or not. Marketing. The "Pro" or "Industrial" lines are often the same as their regular line and will be around the 2400mAh - 2600mAh range and are more for marketing purposes than anything else. They offer nothing in terms of performance, but on the plus side, they're often priced slightly cheaper and sold only in medium to large quantities. Shelf life. The standard for battery technology now is pretty much a leak proof design. If they don't advertise "leak proof", make sure you're only buying what you need for immediate use and not bulk. The standard technology typically guarantees a 10-year shelf life. This is great for knowing how "fresh" your batteries are. The "best by" date is usually imprinted on every battery and outlines the month and year of "expiry" but if you know they guarantee a 10-year shelf life, just dial it back 10-years and you'll know when your batteries were produced. Storage. When storing batteries, one of the main things to consider is ensuring the terminals don't touch. This means you should NOT thrown them loose into a box or a bag where they can get all jumbled up and make connections at the terminals. Bulk batteries usually come wrapped, and it's perfectly safe to leave them in the original packaging as it ensures there is no terminal contact, or you can buy a battery case (they come in all sizes and materials. See pics, I have some I use for when I'm travelling.) Ideally you would want to store these in a cool dry place (60°F-77°F or 15°C-25°C.) Avoid extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), and keep away from direct sunlight. Humidity should be moderate (35% - 65% relative humidity), and high humid environments should be avoided (don't store these in your greenhouse.) Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. The best by date on the batteries I received is 03-2035 (see pics) which means they're really fresh considering the supply chain and pipelines. Allmax was always the goto brand growing up, and they were always purchased in bulk. These AA batteries have a capacity of 3200mAh which exceeds anything the copper top or the bunny retails, and best of all, they're about 50% cheaper! On occasion, I'd see some Voniko's (which can also be found as a staple on Amazon), in smaller quantities when I was growing up, but it was mainly Allmax in our household. Today, I'm continuing my childhood tradition and am making Allmax a staple in my own home.

I've purchased these many times in both AA and AAA. I've tested them in one of two of the same product with higher end batteries, which are much more expensive in one, and these in the other, and they last EXACTLY as long and as well for much less! Highly recommended!

As someone who goes through a lot of AA batteries (seriously, between remotes, kid's toys, and various gadgets, it's a constant drain!), finding a good balance of performance and value is key. That's exactly where these Allmax AA Maximum Power batteries shine. Getting a 100-count pack is incredibly convenient. I used to feel like I was constantly running to the store, but now I've got a healthy stash that should last us for quite a while. They've powered everything from our TV remotes to my wireless mouse and various LED lights around the house without any fuss. The "leakproof design" and "10-year shelf life" claims are definitely a plus for peace of mind, especially when you're buying in bulk and storing them. Pros: * Excellent Value: You get a huge quantity for a very competitive price, making them far more economical than major name brands. * Reliable for Everyday Use: For low to medium-drain devices, they perform consistently and offer decent longevity. * Bulk Packaging: Having 100 batteries on hand is a game-changer for busy households. * Claimed Leakproof & Long Shelf Life: Good for long-term storage and protecting your devices. Cons: * Not Always Top-Tier for High-Drain: While they work, for super high-drain devices like some digital cameras or intensive gaming controllers, you might notice they don't last quite as long as premium brands. It's not a deal-breaker, just something to be aware of. Overall, if you're looking for a cost-effective way to keep your household stocked with reliable AA batteries, these Allmax ones are a fantastic choice. They might not outperform the absolute best on the market in every single scenario, but for the vast majority of uses and at this price point, they're definitely a smart buy.

These are not leak proof. At around 6 years of age, 10 percent of these batteries leaked. It says 10 years on the wrapper. Other than that, these are a great value with strong voltage and capacity almost like a Duracell but for half the price.

They work fine. Good price.

Excellent quality and long lasting batteries. Will buy again.

Was trying batteries and trying to find long lasting for 5 strings of lights. Each needs 3 batteries and one needs just 2 so we go through a lot. I have to say ok, but not that long lasting. I am still looking for the perfect battery for these needs.

Looks ok but I will get back to you later after using it

conforme a mes attentes .

These AA batteries offer excellent value for money. They perform reliably across a range of devices and hold their charge well during use. For the price, the quality is very good and they do exactly what they’re meant to do. A practical and cost-effective option for everyday use. I would happily purchase them again.

Questa offerta è decisamente conveniente. Le batterie hanno una buona carica che ne garantisce un uso prolungato. Rapporto prezzo prestazioni interessante, lo consiglio

Hola, en principio esto va dirigido, principalmente, a una persona que ha realizado una pregunta sobre estas pilas. No sé el motivo pero cuando estaba respondiendo la información que estaba poniendo se publicó sin más. Y ahora voy a responder por aquí para todos. Mi respuesta puede ser un poco "rápida", este tipo de produtos y los electrónicos, suelo darles tiempo para realizar pruebas y tratar de "exprimirlos" un poco. Y no sé si esta información será de mucha utilidad, ya que solo llevo con las pilas AA desde el 13 de abril y estamos a 3 de mayo. Y con las AAA, ya llevo tiempo, y estoy encantado con ellas. Pero, de todas formas, sobre las AA, puedo decir un par de cosas, por si les sirven. 1- Las pilas, aunque vienen marcadas que son de 1,5 voltios no es cierto. Tienen 1,25 voltios de media (medidas varias al azar con un multímetro con precisión de 0,010 voltios). Y las AAA de la misma marca tienen sobre 1,3 voltios. Pero eso en principio no es tan malo, si está compensado con la carga de corriente (miliamperios). De todas formas si miran las pilas recargables suelen ser de 1,2 voltios. Y esto no me parece bien. Si son de 1,2 voltios que pongan 1,2 y no 1,5. 2- El día 13 de abril, coloqué dos pilas de estas en un ambientador grande, que tiene que mover un motor para realizar presión sobre el disparador del bote del spray del ambientador. Y esto lo hace cada 39 minutos, tódolos días. Cuando coloqué las pilas las dos sumaban un voltaje de 2,55 voltios. Hoy, día 3 de mayo, he vuelto a comprobar si funciona el dispositivo, y lo hace como el primer día. Y como es lógico he vuelto a mirar el voltaje, y las dos juntas marcan los 2,55 voltios. Parece que funcionan bien, como las AAA, que al haberlas probado antes y ver como respondían, fue el motivo principal para probar estas. De todas formas, como dije, no tenía pensado publicar nada hasta haber realizado más pruebas y darles un poco de caña. Espero que os sea de utilidad esta información a todos, y en especial a la persona que le estaba respondiendo por el otro lado. Y como dije al principio, por algún motivo se ha publicado mi respuesta cuando estaba escribiendo. Un saludo a tod@s
