I’d strongly suggest having a look at comments from a previous offering of these batteries. There were several unhappy customers, including me (but a few positive postings, so read them and see for yourself).
Basically, these batteries have documented poor performance at high loads and anecdotal reports of other problems. Of course I don’t know if these batteries are from a better lot, but I checked the date on the sub-par batch I got and they were fresh. So unless the distributor posts that they found and fixed a quality problem there is no reason to believe these are any different.
Assuming this is the same source vendor, in that older discussion you’ll see them promising to ship replacements – but I never got mine. However, the Woot staff did make it right for me after I let them know (thanks!)
In the end, I went down to my wholesale store and got a big stack of Duracells for a little more money and I am so much happier now.
I bought these last time and am totally satisfied. I wasn’t expecting much, but they really perform pretty well! I bought them a good while ago and I’m still working my way through them.
We have wireless microphones for our band and battery packs for the wireless bass/guitar rigs. We use a lot of AA batteries and every time these are on sale, I grab a crap load. We have never been disappointed! They even work great in my cameras!
That pretty much sums up alkaline batteries. If you need higher performance get some Eneloops or other LSD NIMH batteries. These would be great for boring stuff that you don’t want to spend lots of cash on.
Hard to pass up.
I ordered batteries off of Woot they never showed up and all woot will do is say it’s not their problem it’s Fed Ex. Which of course says it delivered the batteries.
I bet your neighbor has an endless supply of batteries that look remarkably similar to the ones you ordered! Seriously though, you need to complain to the right people. If FedEx, Woot, or your credit card company customer service rep doesn’t help you, ask for a supervisor. Keep going up the chain of command until the problem is fixed.
Hey Woot,
Doesn’t the $5 shipping count all day or do y’all charge each shipment? Just wondering, I ordered one pack thought it over and ordered two more. still cheap shipping but I thought the $5 lasted all day.
