Fake china spam. I refresh SD just 1 minute ago and this pops up as a new deal starting with +10, already on the frontpage and has no comments. fark this fake china spam
I had the opposite experience. I bought these on Amazon about a year ago. Never had a problem, last as long, or longer than energizer / duracell. Have found Rayovac to die early, and worse, LEAK.
I noticed recently, that Amazon is turning into a KMart. The quality of their brands are trash. And on name brand stuff, there is less and less savings. Kudos to Bezos for building up a huge brand and stepping out at the Apex
All the cheap batteries I have bought from Amazon in the last few years have been total crap. Ankers were the best, but just "below average" compared to store-bought. Some had less power than the dead one I was replacing.
Only fairly decent cheap batteries I have found were Ikea.

Stop buying disposable batteries then?
A charger is only $10, so there's no way you're losing money on spending a few seconds to swap charged batteries for depleted ones.

Some devices won't operate at the lower voltage of the rechargeables. The Alkalines are 1.5 V and the rechargeables are 1.2 V. I use rechargeable where I can get away with it, but things like my thermostat, scale, and mouse won't work.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 10000 reasons have been listed here and elsewhere why this doesn't work for a large number of people and devices. Including but not limited to "take all my gripes about underpowered cheap batteries and multiply them by 5 for 6-mo old rechargeables that cost me $3+ a piece."
Buy the 24 pack of Amazon nimhs and save in the long run. Price difference easily less than what these will ruin with battery acid leaks

There's a massive purge happening right now and these factories are trying to scrape in whatever profits they can.
