I only purchase this brand because they last and are worth more to my pocket in the long-run. I used to go to the store and see the prices listed on the rack and cringe because the prices are so high, so I'd opt for the cheapest, even though its a generic brand. Then a MONTH or even less goes by and I'd realize that the cheap brand was exactly what I had paid for because I barely got a good amount that was worth of use before realizing the battery died. Since I am already a fan of the Energizer brand, I was eager to see the difference in these Max Alkaline batteries. My remote control needed a new set of triple A batteries so I went ahead with using them in it. These are said to be long-lasting out of the regular Energizer AA and AAA batteries to date, so I immediately was sold knowing that. Energizer batteries usually are long-lasting for me anyways so this just ups the game and confirms that. They hold power up to 10yrs while in storage as well, which is perfect because I recently moved to another state and moved all my belongings to a storage facility. This reassures my beliefs that all my items will be good to go when I remove into my apartment. I can just pick off where I left without having to worry with replacing a bunch of batteries. These are also named the #1 batteries by Energizer so I will start to look for the max alkaline on the pack from now on. I would like to try these in a much larger device or product to see the comparison in lifespans. One thing I really appreciate is that these are guaranteed to be leak-resistant, which is constructed to protect from a leakage of fully-used batteries up to 2yrs and the advantage is that they come with a 1yr product warranty. I often worry about my son playing with battery powered toys for this very reason, but this settles my worries to an extent.

I will say these have lasted a little longer than some cheaper brand batteries I have used in similar devices, but not sure it is that much of a difference that I am switching all of my battery purchases to these. They are batteries and they work. I don't notice any major difference between them and another pair, other than availability and price depending on the store. The two battery pack seems a little bizarre and unnecessary since rarely is someone looking for just 2 batteries at a time. You buy a pack knowing several devices will die together or you will need backups.
