Default About Ray-O-Vac batteries!

In the past (and when on sale) I would buy ROV batteries...and they

Then I would think to myself, how could a big company still be in
business that made a faulty product. So I would try again.
Last time was a 5 year rated lithium 9Volt I put in a smoke
detector...it failed (detector started short beep) after 2 weeks!

I don't have problems with Duracell or Energizer. (I don't own stock
in these companies)


For alkaline use, I get the Eveready Gold Alkalines. They last just about
almost as long as duracell or energizers, but for a fraction of the cost.
