I get prices going up for stuff, but like $5 more than past slickdeal prices for really crappy(i have bought these before, on par with rayovac that also suck) batteries?
These were a consumer reports worst buy a few years ago.
Have bought these before to put into my Xbox controllers. With very limited use, they'd die within a month or two. I'd don't recommend these batteries since they don't last long. Maybe you can keep them in a tv remote or something that doesn't require a ton of energy.

SOLID! Ordered one of each.

Have been using the Amazon Basic ones, but for almost $4 cheaper, I'm gonna give these a shot.

The "easy replenish" option with free shipping looks exactly like Amazon's "subscribe & save", so I'll just have to cancel before the next shipment (if the price changes).
I've been using Insignia batteries for a dozen years and never had one leak or die early. I've found Amazons to be mediocre and the vaunted Enloops don't keep a charge for long. My last AAAs are 3 years old, and they will work like they were new. If I charge an Enloop today and go for it in three months its already needing recharging

Why anyone buy these instead of rechargeable charger & batteries? Are people so lazy or any other reason?
Quote from spydersdeals69 :
This garbage needs to die. You can get 8 Eneloop with a Panasonic charger for a mere $25. 2,100 charges/uses versus 48 batteries...half of which will probably die early or corrode. How is this ever a deal?Confused

I use some rechargeable NiMH rechargeable batteries, but I mostly use alkaline batteries. The vast majority of the battery operated devices I own are low-drain ones like clocks, TV remote controls, multimeters, digital scales, thermometers, and so forth. Some of these things drain batteries at a slower rate than the batteries' own self-discharge rates. A multimeter, for example, might sit around powered off, using zero power, 99.9% of the time. If I used rechargeable batteries in those devices, they might go years between charges.

The self-discharge rate of a typical NiMH battery is much higher than an alkaline battery (perhaps Eneloops are an exception with their excellent advertised self-discharge rates) and varies greatly with temperature and battery age. In a low-drain device, it might take several charge cycles of an NiMH to equal the life of one alkaline battery with its lower self-discharge rate. Also, with such long charge cycles, an NiMH battery might only last a few charge cycles before dying of old age. In terms of economics and hassle, it doesn't make sense to me to get two or three charge cycles from a $2 rechargeable battery when I could get the same utility from one or two $0.25 alkaline batteries.

With the high price of 9V alkaline batteries, I actually still use zinc-carbon (often marketed as "heavy duty") 9V batteries in low-drain devices. They can easily last five years in such devices at a fraction of the price of an alkaline battery.

I only use rechargeable batteries in high-drain devices like digital cameras and flashlights where they will go through enough charge cycles to make each cycle less expensive than an alkaline battery.

In typical Consumer Reports fashion, I bet they based that conclusion on some laboratory test they concocted that doesn't reflect real world use.

9V alkaline batteries have gotten so stupidly expensive that I stopped buying them years ago. Most 9V devices are low drain and don't benefit much from alkaline batteries anyway. I was happy with the two-packs of 9V heavy duty batteries from Dollar Tree for $1, but they recently replaced them with single packs. I guess inflation killed that deal.

In the future I'll probably order heavy duty (zinc-carbon) ones on eBay, hopefully for less than $1 each. If I had a high-drain 9V device, I'd go for the USB rechargeable lithium-ion 9V batteries you can find on eBay and Amazon for $7 or $8 each.
