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.

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.

Anybody who is still using disposable batteries is insane. For the price of a
a few replacements, you can get a set of rechargeable that'll last years. I use
rechargeables in everything down to my universal remote controls. They've paid
for themselves many times over.


I love rechargeable batteries, the only problem I have
with those wonderful things is the two legged dumb asses
who come along and throw them away. I worked at a place
years ago where the goofballs would toss the rechargeables
and put disposables into my recharger. Unfortunately,
the legal system in this country takes a dim view of
what I consider justifiable homicide.
