honestly , this is a horrible deal. frys has huge packages of aa or aaa batts that are alkaline. shoot ... they had 4 packs of alks for 10 cents each earlier this year.

Thats exactly why I mow through them. As soon as recycle drops, they get ejected.Ive got enough 1/2 full batteries to go in my xbox controller to last a lifetime

And I hope I've done enough weddings to know when to have fresh batteries

After reading all of these comments, I was about to pass. Then I remembered that my kids/nieces/nephews get loads of crappy electronic toys every Christmas. I'll be a freaking hero by the time the unwrapping is done!

60 of these will equal 4 alkaline batteries.

Lol..."blood batteries"

Correct.

No! I thought I'd "order two" and get to choose which battery I wanted with each one. But, nope. The battery choice had to be the same all the way through. Boo, Woot! I wanted two "AA" and one "AAA".

Fujisizes... you mean like stand straight up so high that you're through the clouds and might just blow some stuff out of the caldera?

About these batteries, I cannot find them on Amazon and there's no way to get what anyone's reviews are for this product, so I will pass. Although I almost had a twitchy trigger finger for 180 batteries...

You're much better off with this deal if you have a lowes near you.

Fuji batteries die amazingly quickly either way.



edit: nevermind on the deals.woot thing- that deal is done

Yep... Alkalines will last about 2-10x longer than these. Just go to your local pharmacy or hardware store and buy alkalines in bulk... you'll be a happier camper (literally and figuratively).

if my calculations are correct, when these 60 AAs hit 88mph, you're going to see some serious....

thats right. 1.21GW.

The deal keeps going but as for the battery each one will only get you a g.... (change out battery) o.... (change out battery).. i... (change out battery).... :P

pretty cheap deal though if you buy in bulk though I don't know why you'd need so many... one can only have so many clocks and remote controls, which are what these batteries are good for.

http://www.frys.com/product/6292850?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Frys.com 100 pack of alkalines for 18 cents each if you buy them at the store. 20 cents each if you buy them online with shipping.

OK, I messed up and it won't let me order again. I wanted to order one of each and realized my mistake. Was willing to pay the extra $5.00 to get the AAA but it keeps saying that I have already purchased the batteries. It won't let me buy any more. Any suggestions? Is there anything else I can do? I really need both sets of batteries. HELP!

Might want to reconsider given that if you stock these into a natural disaster/hippies kit, it might not have any charge left when you go to use it...

You've got to be kidding. Well, good luck with them, and don't forget to warn, er, tell your clients that you use thirteen cent batteries!

leviturm wrote:Instead of 180 of these POS buy 8 eneloops. Your welcome

Yes.

Poor shelf life of Zinc-Carbon batteries make owning 60 useless, unless you have 30 tv's in your house and 30 different remotes. They are likely to die on the shelf waiting.

www.frys.com/product/6292850?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG will last probably 4x longer

I CONCOUR

900 mAh?! Ouch! That's about 1/3 as much as an alkaline battery. Meaning that these batteries will last approx. 1/3 as long as a generic alkaline battery. buy 60 of these or 20 alkalines...

Gizmodo would be the last to have iPhone news. Duh.

Enjoy the adulation. By Christmas afternoon they won't be speaking to you again.

Soooooo...good for Xbox controllers, bad for Xbox controllers...? Anyone know? Or for Wiimotes, for that matter.

Awesome product pic- in my small preview pic I thought this was a sale on 60 cans of an obscure energy drink- i guess it is a different kind of power.

Depending on battery life, I could run my xbox controller with these for days, or 5 minutes.

You can pick which set of batteries you want. When you change to "I want 2/3" you can pick whichever set you choose for each of your available options. It only auto-defaults to the first option.

Play with buttons boys n girls - you never know what will happen!

The hippie incursion is scheduled for early next month. Don't worry about your batteries not seeing any action.

I plan to use the AAAs for my wife's pacemaker. in for 3!

By Christmas lunch, all those crappy toys will be broken anyway. Win win!

From the description:
"Extra Long Life Batteries from a name you can trust"

Nope, Fuji isn't exactly a name I trust in batteries. These are no doubt generic batteries rebranded as Fuji. Panasonic, Sanyo, JVC and other electronic companies do the same thing. They also rebranded videotapes.

i get my 32 batteries from a 6V:

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/824477/6_volt_battery_hack_youll_be_amazed/

These are typical carbon zinc batteries - not alkaline. I don't believe the 900mAh rating at all.

That said, these are probably okay for devices that are very low current like remote controls and ... uh... remote controls.

Heavy duty batteries are the worst batteries to buy. Unless you are planning to use it for a clock Or a tv remote controller it'll drain like water.

Some people own 30 remotes. This is for them.

Some people are clock fanatics. This is also for them.

Other than that... uh...

High-drain devices need not apply. Anything high-powered will mow through these in no time.

Battery deals are a dime a dozen. The toys r us deal on slickdeals is much better

Now I need to know how many of these things in parallel/series you'd need to generate 1.21GW instantaneously...
But in just over 3 years (2015), we'll have home energy reactors anyways. So I really don't need to know.
