Ultra AAA Alkaline Battery

First, let me say that Duracell provided me with a free sample of this product. Having said that, I'm not particularly impressed by these batteries in any way. The Duracell Quantum batteries are apparently the longest-lasting alkaline battery, which is a great thing to advertise. I've had the product for a little over a month, and my battery usage is really high for many things. However, for those things, I use rechargeable batteries. Products ranging from video game controllers, to flashlights, to cameras all have their own rechargeable batteries that last much longer than these alkaline ones. I would recommend anyone who needs to have a constant charge to look into rechargeable batteries instead for their more important products. For anyone who grew up in the 90s, the charge meter on these batteries are really an old gimmick. You can find some fun in pressing to see the charge, but I'm not 10 years old anymore; the meter is usually irrelevant, since a battery with a low charge won't work properly anyways. An example would be the Quantums that I placed in my clocks around the house. Once the battery loses enough charge, the clock won't tick upwards anymore. For some, the meter could be helpful in knowing how low the battery's charge is, but if your product isn't working with one set of batteries, it doesn't matter what the charge is: you'll need to swap them anyways. And I doubt the casual consumer will be opening up their battery compartments just to check on the charge meter of a product in use. A battery like the Quantum battery is simply overkill for any casual consumer. I could see its applications in workplace settings where batteries are a life-or-death situation, but no casual consumer should be paying a premium for these batteries. You'll see a negligible benefit from using them in everyday household products. At best, you could buy a pack of these and save them for important equipment, but for daily use I'd recommend buying the generic batteries that offer a higher battery count for comparable price. Having said that, the Quantum battery is definitely a quality product, and the items I've use them in (clocks and Xbox controllers) have been reliable and they last for a while. But I can't recommend them for the price, quantity, or for daily use. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

These batteries seem pretty high quality. Having the feature of being able to check the level of power on the battery so I have a general idea of when the battery is dying. I'm currently using the batteries in my television remotes and they're working fantastic. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

I received Duracell quantum batteries free from Duracell to try and review. I have a Sony camera that takes four batteries, so as you could assume it is used a lot which means that I would go through batteries constantly. I have used many different brands of batteries so far with the camera and Duracell has been the winner in lasting the longest. Another great feature is being able to tell how much power is left in the battery. This helps me decide if I need to pack more in my camera bag! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

I received Duracell quantum batteries free from Duracell to try and review. I have a electric razor that is very picky with the batteries that,are used it. I used the quantum batteries I received and I've NEVER had power with this razor as I do now with Duracell quantum. I'm so impressed. I wish I had known about these batteries long ago!

Between children's toys and other products that use conventional batteries, I go through numerous packages of them on a consistent basis. The Duracell Quantum is a top quality battery that lasted long in my experience (similar to other Duracell batteries). The one feature I really appreciate is the PowerCheck strip on the side, I can't count the number of times a device hasn't worked and I've had to spend time trying to figure out if it was a matter of the batteries needing to be replaced or if the device itself had malfunctioned and needed attention in that area. The strip allows me to see exactly how much charge the battery has, so I can be assured if a problem is with a dead battery or a malfunctioning device. I also like how the batteries are guaranteed for up to 10 years in storage (depending on type), I tend to buy batteries in bulk and sometimes take a couple of years to go through them, so at least I know they are safe to buy knowing they will still work once I get around to using them.
