Review on πŸ”‹ Panasonic 5741 Super Heavy Duty Carbon Zinc AA Batteries - Pack of 8, 1.5V by Tracy Graham

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Inexpensive for a very, very good reason.

I'm not sure what happened to Panasonic who are said to be absolute pros in the electronics department, but these batteries are the weakest I've ever dealt with. The controller is draining the batteries like nothing happened.” They would be right to use Panasonic. Here are the facts behind my assessment: 1. I've been playing more and longer than ever in the last 4 months due to our national crisis/situation/shit.2. So I learned - to save battery power - just turn off the controller if I need to pause for a long time.3. I haven't gotten really good at it until the last month or so, which *should* mean the batteries will last longer.4. In addition to Panasonic, I've been using Duracell, Energizer and even the Aldi Activ Energy brand since the beginning of the year.5. When I started my relative gaming binge, but BEFORE I started to extend the battery life, the battery typically lasted a couple of weeks. I ordered 8 of these. The Panasonic AAs that arrived maybe a week and a half ago and I already have the last two left. Even if I dropped to 6, that would be unacceptable. Overall I'm pretty sure any other brand including cheap brands will last longer than this one. Maybe they just don't match certain sources, but then it would still be very poor craftsmanship.

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
