Energizer Ultimate Lithium 9V Batteries (2 Pack), Lithium 9 Volt Batteries

A+

Bought for backup for two wired in smoke alarms with ten year expiry matching the shelf life of the batteries. I’ll check back in ten years and let you know if they did the job!

Yes, good bastards last long.time

Purchased for battery change in smoke detectors

This type of battery is the only one I use in any size, they are the only batteries that have NEVER LEAKED , long shelf life.

Good

Entrega aa tiempo y excelente rendimiento de las baterias

These batteries are great, especially the shelf life. The seller though provided very strange packaging. Multiple layers of wrapping in other, older packing. Business Name: Good Luck Chucklets I would consider avoiding this seller.

A few things here: Shelf life means SHELF LIFE not how long the battery will work in a device. My experience with lithium batteries whether AAA, AA or 9v is they do last longer than standard alkaline batteries...how much longer depends on what they are installed in. These 9V batteries have right angle edges, not the rounded edges that are found on 9V alkaline batteries. This makes these batteries slightly larger than an alkaline 9V so they may not fit in the device you want to use them in. These fit fine in my smoke detectors but will not fit in the outdoor entry pad on my garage door. There are two real advantages I see in lithium batteries....AAA AA or 9V. Lithium do not leak like regular alkaline batteries do in a device or while in storage. I got tired of the damage caused to devices from leaking alkaline batteries and I’ve never had a lithium battery leak. If you need to use batteries in a cold environment lithium function to -40C whereas alkaline batteries stop functioning around -18C. Lithium batteries are definitely pricier than alkaline....especially 9V. That said for the piece of mind of not dealing with damaged devices from leaking alkaline batteries and the fact they work at much lower temperatures (weather stations, flashlights) they are worth the extra cost.

So I see several reviews complaining about these not lasting 10 years, these have a 10 year SHELF LIFE not a 10 year USE LIFE- those are 2 entirely different things. 10 year shelf life refers to how long these will be viable for sitting on a shelf/stored not plugged into anything. As far as actually putting these into something you can expect use-life to be about the same as a typical 9V or a little longer. I bought these to power the Fishman Fluence active pickups in my guitar because these types of batteries provide very consistent power - which is where these excel compared to your average alkaline 9V which can waver a little in power getting worse over time. The only issue with these is they will suddenly die out on you once they are done but they will give you the same consistent power until its last breathe. Who these are for: -People who have devices/uses that require very consistent power. -People using devices that are subjected to more extreme temperatures. -Expensive devices that could be destroyed by a small battery leak. -People who like to store up on back-up batteries for a long time for later use. Who these are NOT for: -People who think 10 year shelf-life is the same as 10 year use-life. -People looking for rechargeable batteries (these are NOT the same as rechargable lithium batteries) *NOTE: These are very close to the size of your average alkaline battery but ever so slightly bigger since the edges are not rounded so if you want to put these into something where the battery space is a very tight fit it might not fit.

If you need batteries, personally, I feel these are the best. They last a very long time. Good quality cost a little more but you get what you pay for.
