 Long Lasting Mar 16, 2010
By Jeff Farris
"Jeff"
I play in a band, and my guitars use 9v batteries for the pre-amps. I have found these to last longer than the coppertops I purchase at the local big box store. I realize this statement conflicts with others I have read, however, that is my take on it. I have been purchasing these for 2 years and have never been disappointed.

 Low cost, but cheap Jan 07, 2010
By ']['ennessee ']['ony
I agree with jetpower. These seem like a killer deal, but the performance is terrible.
About 3 years ago, I bought two packs of 12, one to keep around the house for smoke detectors and other devices, and a pack to use at church in our wireless microphones.
They were okay for the wireless microphones, because forgetting to turn off the mics didn't really test the longevity of them. I'd probably buy them again for that reason + the low price.
But for home use, they just didn't last. Smoke detectors lasted about 4 months before chirping when the batteries were newer. After two years at home (shelf life dated 2011), the remaining batteries were dead. They come with plastic caps attached, so I know they didn't short out and discharge themselves.
Keep in mind, this was quite some time back. Have they improved? Not likely, but possible.
I have a Duracell Ultra in my bedroom smoke detector, it's been in there for about two years and is still running strong. But these ProCells, and my poor experience with AA rechargables from Duracell, have seriously weakened my resolve to buy their brand in the future.
I hope my experience is useful in your decision making process.

 9V batteries Feb 11, 2010
By A. Denovio
"Homemaker"
The batteries when received read 9.54 volts and were installed in a wireless burglar alarm system. After 1 day various zones began to fail. Eventually all zones failed and battery voltage measured was at 8.46 volts. I called Amazon and they will issue a full refund. Cudos to Amazon but be aware of possible shelf life problems with batteries.Procell Alkaline Batteries, 12 Batteries per Pack, 9V (DURPC1604) Category: General Batteries

 Average quality Feb 26, 2010
By Nathan Beauchamp
"ConsumerAdvocate"
I bought a box of these for our hand-held mics at our church. They're of average quality and lifespan, not nearly as good as the Duracells we've used in the past, although their a fair amount better than the 'budget' batteries from the likes of The Shack (formerly known as Radio Shack). The price seems good, but only some true scientific method of testing battery life vs. cost would reveal if you're actually saving any money. If you've got a fifth grader who needs a science project, that might be worth it. I'll probably be going back to Duracell batteries when this package runs out.

Good Quality and Long Lasting Jul 28, 2011
By IntrepidUSA
I'm a sound technician and use the Duracell ProCell for wireless mics, wireless in ear monitors, and guitars/direct boxes/etc. I've tried different brands and the ProCell lasts the longest in my opinion. I sometimes find them cheaper, but with Amazon's free shipping this makes them the best deal as other online stores charge a lot for the shipping because of weight. Because of my satisfaction with the ProCells, I also use them at home for smoke detectors and electronic door locks.
