I bought a 48 pack of these about 1 1/2 years ago and have been using them since with no problems. However, just recently pulled a few out of the package, having never been used, and they tested at only 1 volt instead of 1 1/2 volts. Of the 10 batteries that I still haven't used, all of them test at 1 volt or less now. When they were new, all the ones I tested were more than 1 1/2 volts. Not a single one of them leaked, but apparently the 10 year shelf life applies only to leakage, not battery life.

Q: Are these from China too like the Maxell?

FACT: 80% of all sellers on Amazon are from Communist China.

Q: What's the difference between these "performance" batteries and basic Amazon Basics? (Please don't say the difference is 70 cents.)

My sons tested the Duracell from Costco, Amazon basics and moist recently the white and grey industrial batteries in their xbox controllers. They all got the same amount of use, they do play 24/7 minus the bathrooms breaks, drinks of water and eating. Duracell set the precedent of an average 2 weeks 24/7 game play. And just as Duracell performed the Amazon basics and industrials performed just as long. So I looked into the difference and the industrials with last longer under extreme weather conditions from extreme cold (usually zaps the life from other brands including Duracell) and or extreme heat or excessive vibrations. So I prefer to use the industrials, but through mild summers the basics perform fine, come winter I want only industrial batteries.

Q: How long do these batteries last compared to Energizer and Duracell?

If batteries were empires Amazon batteries would be Austro-Hungarian Empire (51 years) to the Duracell/Energizer batteries’ Roman Empire (1058 years).
