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.

after about year i did have one of 2 leak in a first alert zwave smoke detector, but usually their die in devices before they get a chance to start leaking.
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?

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?
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.
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.

Remove them if not using them used to be $7
