![Duracell Plus AA Alkaline Batteries [Pack of 12], 1,5V LR6 MN1500](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71moaXNtTaS._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Not all batteries are created equal and with so many choices out there its difficult to choose the best option. I've been using these for a couple of years now and have been perfectly happy with their performance. They are alkaline based batteries which make them a pretty good, standard battery and suitable for 90% of applications. Remote controls, clocks, cameras, radios will all run fine on these and will last fine.
It's great to have a bulk store of batteries at such an affordable price. I now have a drawer stocked with batteries and not a jumbled up collection, of different brands missed with part-used batteries. I restock when I start to get low and I'm never caught short.
As I said, these will do for 90% of applications but if you do need more power for a particularly high drain device then look for lithium-based batteries, they will outperform these amazon basics but expect to pay a lot more. It would be nice to see Amazon basics add lithium batteries to there current offerings for such occasions.

Customer reviews
I bought these after reading some other reviews about how decent they were. I understand that they’re not as long lasting as the big brands but, to be honest, I’m not bothered about that.I normally buy a box of 100 AA and 100 AAA own brand batteries every year from my local Maplin store and these last me 12 months. Now that the Maplin store has gone I’ve just been dealing with cheapo batteries from the pound stores. After seeing reviews on these I decided to take a punt.So far, I’m not disappointed. They’re a good price, come in simple packaging which is environmentally friendly and they’re working great. I’ve already got a brighter torch, a bedside alarm keeping time again, a digital camera taking more than 3 pictures before dying and a remote control car that is remote controllable again!Really happy with these so far and will definitely be buying them again. Next time in the 100 pack.

One of my childrens toys that is now not working due to the battery leak! Plus an upset child! One 'Crate Creature' now not operational! These are not cheap toys.
Taken from Amazons advert:
Ideal for everyday devices
10-year shelf life
Safe leak-free design
Short-circuit prevention
NOT rechargeable
This may be an isolated incident......
However I would suggest they do not have a Safe Leak-Free Design!
I hope you find this review useful.

Absolute Trash!
By Kay Carberry on 13 August 2019
Do NOT purchase. These arrived leaking and swollen. The few (14) which survived intact did not work!!! I never complain about a product. I am complaining now.
