Are these better than something than something like this Tenergy 100 pack for $0.18 / battery?

Definitely not the cheapest ever. I got these in June of 2020 for $11.54 after S&S and coupons. The price before any coupons or S&S was $20.99

My household has gone through at least 100 in the last 2 years.
Lots of 'sensors' for weather, motion, etc. use AAAs and aren't always happy w/ 1.2V-nominal NiMH rechargeable AAAs. The alkalines also seem SLGHTLY more tolerant of sub-0 temps (freezer sensors). 'Tap Lights' also will eat thru these. (Disabled family member uses the taplights in our kitchen cabinets.)

[Also, certain 'devices' potentially used by one's significant other, tend to eat through AAAs. Cheap lil DC motors are quite sensitive to voltage, and don't 'operate fully' on most rechargeables. Wasn't uncommon for 'still good, but weak' alkalines to get tossed out.]

Please clarify if "their" means the buyer or the battery so we can respond appropriately. Thank you

If you have a wireless gaming mouse or something like that that burns through a single AAA every few days. I've been using Eneloops.

Apparently. Because unbeknownst to me, when I clicked that link, Amazon showed me I bought a 100 pack a little over 2 years. A few bucks cheaper than this. And well, I think I am about out of AAAs right now. Funny because I don't remember every ordering that many, but apparently I did.

This is actually one of the higher prices these batteries have been in a while. They were $22.88 in September. Decent batteries though.

Not going to get into a pissing match about battery quality, but Kirkland (Costco) batteries are actually made by Duracell; 48 (AA or AAA) for $16.49 or about $0.35/battery. Yes more $$ than this but you don't need to buy 100, and Kirkland are guaranteed for 12 year shelf life; these are 10. If you really want to get picky and have executive and CC w/ Costco it's $15.50 for 48 which brings the cost down to almost $0.32/battery.

I used to buy Kirkland/Duracell batteries 100 or more at a time (used them for business), and swore by them.
Starting a couple of years ago, all Duracell batteries are extremely prone to leaking-- including the Kirkland/Costco ones. They leak when they're old, when they're fresh &

Well, I'm not intending a pissing match, but.....
I used to buy Kirkland batteries 100 or more at a time (used them for business), and swore by them.
Starting a few years ago, Duracells are extremely prone to leaking, and this includes Kirklands. They leak when they're well-used, when barely used, and when still new in package. Bottom line, I wouldn't use them now if they were free, since the cost of repairing or replacing damaged electronics makes it a bad idea.
I don't know what's going on with Duracell: they built their reputation on being the best for pro use, and they don't seem willing at all to address/fix this problem.
