In the hopes of having my battery operated Christmas lights last throughout the season, I purchased an 18 pak of the AA Energizer ultimate lithium batteries. I bought these from my local Sam's Club. My light strands were either fairy or micro led lights and required 3 AA batteries each. The number of led bulbs ranged from 18 (micro) to 30 (fairy lights). I used all 18 lithium batteries in 6 strands. These were all on timers (5-6 hours) and I wouldn't consider them as high drain. Much to my surprise, they only lasted a little over a week. The regular AA alkaline Energizer batteries at least lasted two or more weeks. How do you explain this? The packaging claims "%231 longest lasting batteries". I paid $34.99 for this pack of 18 batteries !!! That was $10.00 more than a 48 pack of regular AA Energizer alkaline batteries. This was a total waste of money and I definitely don't recommend! Not sure if this is typical or I just purchased a bad batch of batteries. I sent an email to Energizer customer support for their input.

Too pricey and lack of performance.

Don't last any better than regular Energizer batteries outside.

Just like the normal retail stores but at a fraction of the costs👍

I only buy this brand, longer lasting then the other competitors. Camera, pc mouse, clocks, engineering meters.

Put them in my game cameras and they were dead in a week. Very expensive batteries for a weeks worth of oics

So far so good! I will have to wait and see how the batteries do through the cold weather ahead for accurate details.

Batteries are ver expensive

These are to have. When I see them I grab a pack

Lasts 4 times longer, but also costs 4 times as much
