This is a criticism more of the packaging than the batteries. Twice in the past two years when we have ordered these batteries the package is opened and batteries are strewn all over the box. The batteries are fine.

We use these Member's Mark AA batteries year round in battery operated xandkes, but even more heavily in the holidsy seasons. They are less costly than rhe name brands and just as good!

With many items on my home using multiple quantities of AA batteries, price is a concern along with the need to keep a good inventory on hand and not have to worry about running out. These fit the bill in price and long life.

While these batteries are fine and economical, I still find some of the namebrands have a bit more longevity. My main concern wasn't so much with the batteries, but in the shipping of them. First, they were shipped in an oversized box with another product I had ordered. There was absolutely no packing materials and the products were shifting loosely all over the box. Thus, the battery package had opened up and the batteries were rolling all around in the box.

The batteries are comparable to the national brands, the problem is that they raised the price so much that they also now cost as much as the national brands. I have been buying my batteries at Northern because they sell a 24 pack for $10 and always put them on sale bogo making them $10 for 48 batteries vs. $20 for 48 batteries from Sam’s.

Got us thru the holidays! I used quite a lot of battery powered lights over Christmas, so this large pack of batteries served us well. I did have to change them out a couple of times, but I don't think that is due to inferior quality as I also burned thru duracells as well. Good price!

Overall great battery purchase! These batteries work well and last long when compared to other brand name batteries. The price point makes them preferable to purchase. The only reason not to purchase these is if you are getting batteries for an annoying sounding child toy and would prefer the batteries run out quite soon.

We try to order these when they have a coupon; we like to have them on-hand. They perform very well and the price is better than any other good quality batteries. They make a great gift for parents when you gift their children a battery-operated gift.

We used to use name brand alkaline batteries that claim to last a long time and have a long shelf life. The Member's Mark batteries are cheaper. In unofficial side-by-side tests with toys, lights, and a portable guitar amp they last as long (and longer) than the name brand batteries. Haven't tested "shelf life" (how long they will last just sitting there without internally discharging) but have noticed that when left in equipment/toys they have LESS tendency to leak. Several boxes and only 3 batteries have ever leaked. A lot lower than we were used to with other alkaline batteries. A great and economic choice if you use batteries a lot.

We've only been using these about a month but I'm very happy with the quality and price. Batteries have gotten so very expensive and we have many products at home that use these often. There's no better value than this! I've switched from buying the Amazon batteries to these Sam's club ones.
