These Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries stand out for cold weather and other high drain uses, with strong performance called out for freezer sensors, fridge areas, and Nest smoke detectors. The price also looks attractive, especially with Subscribe and Save bringing the 8 pack down to $8.55 with tax in one case. The main caution is compatibility, since several lock brands recommend alkaline batteries instead of lithium because the flat discharge curve can delay low battery warnings or even cause problems. There is also concern about Amazon counterfeit risk and disposal fees for non rechargeable lithium cells, so they fit best where lithium chemistry is actually needed.

Common Questions (5)

  • Many lock makers recommend alkaline instead of lithium for door locks because lithium's flat discharge curve can delay or prevent the low-battery warning until the lock is effectively dead. Schlage users also report sudden failure and, in one case, a fried board, so lithium is a poor choice for locks unless the manufacturer explicitly supports it.

  • Counterfeit risk is a concern because Amazon inventory can be co-mingled, and some buyers report receiving packaging that looks unsealed or mixed. Buying from the Energizer store helps, but it does not fully eliminate the need to inspect the batteries and packaging carefully.

  • Yes. These lithium AAs are called out as a good fit for freezing conditions such as freezer temperature sensors, and they're also chosen for cold locations like a fridge where standard NiMH cells may not perform as well.

  • The 8-pack can drop to $8.55 including tax with a 30% Subscribe & Save discount. That works out to just over $1 per battery.

  • Rechargeables can work the same in Blink doorbells and still trigger the same low-battery indicator, while avoiding the need to replace lithium cells every few months. That makes them a practical lower-waste option if your device accepts them.

For those needing AAAs, such as for door locks, they are also $12 for an 8-pack.

Yale specifically recommends against lithium batteries as their chemistry/voltage profile makes the lock unable to give accurate low battery warnings

Wary of buying from Amazon due to this reason.

Lots of fakes, check them carefully. Last time I bought on amz they looked like real once but with intermixing of products you never know for sure

Interesting! After investigating, I found the specific reason, where Kwikset (my lock brand) concurs w/ the alkaline rec!
Alkaline vs. Lithium:
The Kwikset Verdict
Kwikset recommends Alkaline batteries because Lithium batteries have a flat discharge curve that can prevent the 'low battery' warning from triggering until the lock is dead.

Same with Schlage - I stopped using lithium batteries there for that reason (they suddenly die w/ no warning). The Li batteries are needed for my Nest smoke detectors

How do you check for fakes?
With the latest tech at their disposal, the manufacturers will have everything similar to the originals.
Amazon should stop commingling, but with so many products, suppliers and sellers, and so few distribution centers, it's bound to happen..

I normally get these from Sam's Club when they are on sale in an 18-pack for $1.75 each. I'm surprised Amazon could sell them significantly cheaper in an 8-pack for under $1.50 each.

I've been using rechargeable in my Blink door bells for some time now. Got tired of buying lithium every 3 months (busy street). Rechargeable works the same, less waste and still get the same low battery indicator.
