I have a bunch of these.

I've replaced them in fire alarms in my house twice in the last 9 months already. Splurge for Energizer Max or if you're loaded, the Energizer Ultimate Lithium if you don't want to be constantly changing your batteries.

Some smoke detectors are stupid voltage sensitive. Rechargeables definitely don't last as the voltage shows too low. You basically need to buy the lithiums if you want any peace.

PSA - The US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years, including hard-wired alarms and those with 10-year batteries. If your smoke alarm is a combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector, you should replace it every 5–7 years, depending on the model.

On the app, choose auto delivery save 5%, then choose no rush save 20%. Works.

You're not supposed to use lithium batteries or rechargeables in the AA powered detectors we use according to the included documentation. We have found Energizer Max Alkaline to work the best in detectors and have excellent shelf life. Unfortunately Duracell ones leak out too frequently in the package

Every smoke detector I've ever seen uses 9 volt batteries, not AA. I use the ones at the dollar store and they usually last at least 2 years. Mine are older detectors, at least 15 years. Do the new ones use AA batteries?

Dollar Tree has them at 8 for $1.25
Those are carbon zinc "heavy duty" batteries that are 8 for $1.25. They have 4 packs of alkaline that are normally a quite good value 4 for $1.25, but this is a better deal, all else considered equal.

That said, anyone needing this many batteries need to invest in rechargeable Japanese Ni-Mh and rechargeable lithium 1.5V AA. They perform far better than disposable alkaline in most applications, they save money, you always have batteries on hand, and keep from polluting the environment.

Wins across the board.

* There may be a few rare instances of applications that use low current and are tailored to the specific voltage alkaline cells discharge at along their discharge curve at said current, but that would be a rare instance I'd imagine.

I bought these batteries last year to use in my battery operated Christmas lights. They didn't last a month. I put my decorations up after Thanksgiving and I ended up replacing the batteries before Christmas. The lights are on timers and run 8 hours per night. The year before I used Duracell and Energizers in the lights and at the end of the season, they were still working.

Based on the comments from people who have these batteries it looks like they aren't great even if the price is very good.

Ni-Mh spend most of their discharge curve at around 1.2V. This is near the end of the discharge curve for alkaline. Most of my devices accept these batteries, but I keep a few alkaline and 1.5v li-ion cells around for devices that don't. The only device I can think of off hand that doesn't accept lower voltages is an automatic pet feeder. It shuts down when voltage gets to around 1.3V/cell. I know my wall clock is good down to about 0.8V.
