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.

AmazonBasics AA 1.5 Volt Performance Alkaline Battery
Keep everyday devices powered up with this pack of AA 1.5-volt performance alkaline batteries from AmazonBasics. The reliable batteries work with a wide range of devices, including game controllers, toys, flashlights, digital cameras, alarm clocks, and more.
Adaptive Power
The batteries deliver the right amount of power for the specific device, which translates to optimal efficiency and a long-lasting discharge. Note: these batteries are NOT rechargeable; for rechargeable batteries check out AmazonBasics’ rechargeable line.
10-Year Shelf Life: Emergency Ready
Holding power for up to 10 years while in storage, the well-built battery’s air- and liquid-tight seal securely contains the power until it’s needed. The battery locks in power and won’t leak thanks to its improved anti-corrosion components, new zinc composition, and two-crimp design. A great choice when buying in bulk, the long-lasting AmazonBasics batteries can be used immediately or stored for reliable power later—perfect for weather radios, flashlights, and other must-haves in an emergency.
Supreme Safety
Made with high-quality components, the AmazonBasics battery provides safe operation for both the user and the device. If misused or over-worked, the battery’s insulating ring—a short circuit preventive washer (SPW)—protects against short circuiting and self discharging, while two small holes prevent heat build-up and bursting. The battery offers both reliable safety and ultimate peace of mind.

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.

Great batteries for a great price!

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.By ⭐️Nez⭐️ on 6 August 2019

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.
