Batteries are too expensive, but I don't really know the cost to produce. Low rating because that sucks! I guess I'll look into it but it still sucks if true. They do last a while. I'll give them that. Rechargeable is about to finish them.

I received batteries and original package was open and all batteries scattered around, some were beat up....kinds of disappointed

I used these batteries in various remotes. As soon as i replaced the batteries I received notifications that the batteries were low. This was 5 minutes after installing them. Wont be buying these again.

I opened the package a month after receiving them, and storing them in my bedside table. They were corroded so badly that I did not open the inner package. I called Duracell and they sent me a coupon fir new ones. However I will never ever buy the “Optimum” Duracell’s ever again! Total waste of time and effort!

I bought these with the hope they would be used in TV remotes and other devices and last longer. Not so. They do not even last half the life of a normal Duracell Copper Top. I don't know who is giving the rave reviews but on another review website there are numerous 1 -3 ratings all with the same issue of low life on these particular Opttimum. Many reviews have leaking batteries and other defects right out of the box new.

Very disappointed! All batteries were out of the box! Returning!

Have to change them out about every 3 weeks. We use them in our roku remote

sent double A batteries, ordered AAA
