Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA Batteries (8 Pack), Double A Batteries

I struggled with 3 or 4 stars on these. At the end of the day, I'm on the fence. I have tested a number of AA batteries on a commercial battery analyzer and these are by far the best (all the others have been alkaline). These deliver more power than any alkaline battery I have tested or that you are likely to find. 35% more than the average alkaline, but at 2-4 times the price depending on the cost/brand of what you compare it to. They perform much better than alkaline on high drain tests, plus they have a very long shelf life and are able to deliver higher current. In an application like, say, an emergency flashlight in your car, an emergency radio, some kind of device that's hard to get to that you need to depend on not to be dead when you need it, these are probably useful and worth the extra money. For everyday use and most applications I don't see these worth the extra cost.

Have you ever seen Energizer batteries packaged in a small box that is only big enough to fit the batteries? No, me neither. This is not what was pictured, and I would not have selected batteries shown in a box like this. I reported the seller to Walmart, so hopefully, they will not allow them to keep doing this.
