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

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)

A lot of reviews laud the Radio Shack batteries because
they sell so many that the store stock is always fresh.

TDD

Interesting...Radio Shack batteries use to be the worlds worst
batteries...they had a free battery-a-month club and it wasn't even worth it
to use their batteries when they were free.
