LiCB 1.5V Alkaline AA & AAA Batteries (24 Double A + 24 Triple A), 48-Count Value Pack

Regarding AA %26 AAA batteries, we've ALWAYS purchased Energizer batteries. In my opinion, they are great batteries but so VERY expensive. Regarding Coin Cell batteries, we've ALWAYS purchased LiCB batteries. I didn't know they made AA %26 AAA batteries, probably due to the fact we've always purchased Energizer as well as my husband purchases batteries 90% of the time. During the summer of 2025, after first researching various brands of AA %26 AAA batteries, I purchased small packages of various brands of both AA %26 AAA batteries to test them against Energizer as well as each other. I even included the Energizer Lithium AA %26 AAA strictly because according to everything I read about them, they were supposed to be the absolute best ~ longest lasting when in use, longest shelf life %26 were supposed to be easy to open (key word in the above description “supposed”). I'm so very glad I decided to research, then test various batteries. I definitely learned a lesson. We've wasted SO much money for so many years it's absolutely pathetic. I knew how amazing the LiCB Coin Cell batteries worked %26 honestly I don't know why I never thought to look for LiCB AA/AAA batteries, HUGE MISTAKE! After I tested various brands against each other, there was one clear winner as well as one clear loser. There was also one brand included which I wouldn't hesitate to purchase if necessary. The best AA %26 AAA battery hands down: LiCB The worst (which honestly shocked me) AA %26 AAA battery: Energizer Lithium They lasted for about a minute. The LiCB are packaged in plastic packs of 4 batteries (in the boxes I purchased, which contained both AA %26 AAA batteries). They're easy to open, packaged very nicely in a well made sturdy box. I understand there may be various ways used in the manner they're packaged, I'm strictly referring to the LiCB batteries I purchased. PRICE: there's no comparison!! Considering the fact of the amount we've spent over the years on batteries, it sickens me to know the amount of money we could've saved if I'd only thought years ago to test batteries against one another. We'll continue to ONLY purchase LiCB AA %26 AAA batteries %26 any other type of battery if needed, as well as the Coin Cell batteries as we have for many years. My husband put them in the emergency kits in our vehicles, gave some to our kids to do the same for their families %26 put some around the house for easy/quick access ~ for example, for flashlights. Amazing batteries which are easy to open %26 have a long life whether using or storing. I wrote this review for what I feel is a very important reason ~ I feel it's important to let consumers know about a great product which performs amazingly but just as important, the fact of the difference in the price between the well known brands. You're actually getting what you pay for!! I wasn't asked to write this review nor provided a free package to test in order to write a review.
