Digital camera reviews of NABC UltraLast ULA100AAB AA Size General Purpose Battery - Alkaline - 1.5V DC General Purpose Battery-100 count
Digital camera Review: Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
For the money you can't beat it. With four kids I go through batteries by the case and have often had issues with generic brands. These batteries were better than other generics I have tried at a discount to the name brands. Recommended.Digital camera Review: Good for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
For alkaline batteries, they perform like any other out there. Alkalines don't work well in tech devices, they tend to drain fast, and these seem no different. At worst, I use these in flashlights and wireless mice. The mouse I use most (which is about 8 hours a day) will last about 3 months on these. My higher demanding devices (cameras, media players, etc) use NiMH or LiIon batteries, which are much better suited for those devices and are a much better value for them.
These 100 batteries cost about the same as 20 of the big name brand batteries of the same type. The DOA rate seems higher than the big name brand, but probably not by much and I still come out way ahead on value. In my last 100 pack, I had maybe 4 DOAs. I'm not sure of the rate on the big name brand batteries since I don't buy them in bulk.
I have not kept any of the DOAs to test their guarantee. I did not feel it was worth it.
Digital camera Review: Great Value Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love these batteries! We have gone through 1/2 the box now without any issue. At this price we took the batteries to church and repowered up all the nursery toys. I was a bit worried reading the reviews about the batteries leaking, but so far we have not had an incident. Saying that though, we don't put these batteries in expensive equipment. They go in the kids cheaper toys, tv remote, stereo remotes, wireless mice, etc... The Logitech remotes, cameras, etc... get high quality rechargeable. At this price we keep extras in the cars and wifes purse. You never know when you will need a battery. They are also great for science experiments, boy scout projects, and anything where you don't want to drop $6 on name brand batteries.Digital camera Review: I have no problems with these. Maybe I got lucky?
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Leaks
Summary: 1 Stars
The batteries leak and go flat when stored for periods during which other batteries do fine. They're cheaper, but the money saved isn't worth it.
