Has Anyone Tried Dollar Tree AA Batteries?

Not sure if they have other sizes but picked up a couple AA batteries 8ct for $1.25 packages which is .16 ea.

 

Lowest price I've ordered from Amazon is .27 ea.

 

Receiving a few VPH mini lanterns and will use those to test them out.  Will be interesting to see how long they last!

 

Anyone try them?  Or other Dollar Tree batteries?

I've been using them for years - Never had any problems - I also buy the AAA, C and D batteries.

 

I've found them to be a great (money-saving) deal. Smiley Wink

I tried their batteries several years ago and didn't have good results.  Put them in tv remotes and clocks.  They didn't last long.

@rockygems123   In my neck of woods we have .99¢ & Dollar Stores ($1.07) stores.  I have never had an issue using their batteries.

Yes, used them in my magnifying lens.  They work, but not for a long time.  I had to change them out frequently.

Yes I've used the AAA and AA and they just keep working along.

I got some a few years ago and thought they did as long a job as Duracell or EverReady.

I think it is the device not the batteries that makes batteries last long or not.

Well that is great to know, thanks!  I'm leery buying some things at Dollar Tree and have been proven wrong, so far have never been disappointed.

 

Just discovered the store in the last year as friends told me about the great card prices.

Re: Has Anyone Tried Dollar Tree AA Batteries?

I used to buy cheap batteries, for my mouse and garage door opener. I was replacing them every two months,

Went back to Kirkland (Costco) and Member Mark ( Sam's club).

Haven't had to replace the batteries in over a year.
