Maxell LR44 (A76) Batteries, 10 Count (775011)

Amazon.com is the #1 retailer in the world for a reason... Awesome customer satisfaction, excellent business plan, great products, amazing prices, etc... As we all know, Amazon has expanded their business to allow 3rd parties to sell their products on Amazon's website for some time now. With this expansion, they allow 3rd party businesses to either 1) use Amazon as a storefront but the seller keeps/ships their own stock or 2) they use Amazon as a storefront AND Amazon holds the business' product in an AMAZON warehouse (known as Amazon Fulfillment). As a consumer, you have to be cautious when businesses that want to sell on Amazon opt to use option #1 simply because of the fact that how they obtain their product can vary. This especially matters when you deal with products that have expiration dates. Ever been to a flea market? For those of you that have, many of you know that various merchants at flea markets can obtain their stock through closeouts, business closings, clearance, etc. And much of that stock, especially when dealing with consumables, have expiration dates that are either upcoming or already expired. In the case of batteries, we all know they have expiration dates and it's a glaring concern that when you buy things like batteries, you have to be concerned about how fresh they are and if they aren't, how much longer they will last. These batteries I purchased are available from numerous sellers (approximately 22 at the time of purchase). They range from 1 cent up to $15 for the exact same product. But a smart consumer will also follow the rule that without sufficient evidence, if a price is too good to be true, then it likely is. There are many reviews on Amazon of people complaining about "bad batteries" but because multiple sellers (including Amazon) can sell the same battery... which means all the reviews are all clumped under the same product. So that "bad" review that you read probably came from someone who bought a "bad" product from a "bad" vendor. Unless that reviewer specifies who they bought it from, they aren't helping fellow Amazon customers. With that said, I ended up buying my batteries from merchant "MYBATTERYSUPPLIER" for the price of $1.77. My reasoning for choosing them is because I've used them before on Amazon *AND* their seller rating within the past year is a 99% positive rating. Their order count in the past year is approximately 35,306 orders with only 1% of those being a "negative order". All this info can be found on the merchant's details. With that kind of rating, I have that peace of mind that my batteries will likely be good and not crap/expired ones. And what I found is that my batteries are in fact good. I use them in digital timers Stanley 38425 TimerMax Digislim Daily Digital Indoor Lamp Timer, White, 2-Pack and they have so far, worked wonderfully as replacement batteries. Final Tips... #1 - Try & use Amazon or a reputable seller. #2 - If you have to go 3rd party, try & find something that is fulfilled by Amazon (trust me, it helps you 100% more because you're dealing with Amazon support and not someone from someone's basement... especially for returns). If not, then go with a seller with a positive rating (higher the better). #3 - Although price may be a determining factor, don't go so low where you question the quality of the product. If an item is 1 cent compared to other prices that are similar in range, you're probably getting a bad product. #4 - Write a review of the product and mention where you bought it from so that other Amazon customers know where to go for a better experience. I would recommend "MYBATTERYSUPPLIER" as a 3rd party merchant on Amazon.

I ordered this 10-pack of batteries from MLC Distribution late Sunday night, and it got here in the mail on Wednesday afternoon. Visually, the product looks to be exactly as advertised. Each battery's terminals are accessible in its package via little "peepholes" in the front and back, so I got out my voltmeter and measured the open circuit voltage of each cell, which is a good indication of the state of charge of each battery. The readings were all between 1.57 and 1.59 volts, which is very good for these alkaline batteries. If you measure just about any alkaline cell, 1.55-1.60 volts means "fresh." And by the way, LR44 can be deciphered as follows: "L" indicates the chemistry, alkaline in this instance. ("S" means silver oxide.) "R" means "round." "44" is standards-speak for 11.4mm in diameter and 5.2mm in height. The LR44 cell has an amp-hour rating of 150 mA-hr, while the SR44 has an amp-hour rating of 200 mA-hr. In theory, you'll get about 33% more useful life from the SR44 than you will the LR44. Other than that, they should be pretty much interchangeable. The open-circuit battery voltage of each type is very similar, although the SR44 is just a bit higher, but not enough to really affect anything (1.55V vs. 1.50V). Consider the price difference between the two when determining which cell to buy. Remember "silver oxide" contains "silver." If you've followed the price of silver lately, you'll understand why the SR44 cell is so much more expensive than the LR44 cell! I use these cells in my digital calipers and my cooking timer, so "cheap" is what I'm after. A word to some of those on this site complaining that these batteries don't last long in a child's toy: they do NOT hold a lot of energy, aka "juice." Putting them in a toy with motors or lights draws a lot of power out of them. They aren't designed for that sort of thing. I suspect, but cannot prove, that you had a silver SR44 battery in the toy before and substituted the alkaline LR44. Alkaline batteries like the LR44 have a pretty high "series resistance" to them, making them unsuitable for high-current-drain toys. I'd suggest you try the SR44 if your application is going to power a motorized device. All in all, MLC's product is exactly as advertised, the cells are all fresh, and at a killer price --- a quarter per cell? How can you go wrong? AND, free shipping. Although since they're CA-based, I had to pay 20¢ in sales tax. Darn! I will definitely buy these batteries again from MLC Distribution when I need more. UPDATE 6/30/15: Since I first composed the above, silver prices have taken a pretty deep plunge. A silver-oxide battery SHOULD be cheaper these days, but I can't guarantee it.

I purchased this 10-pack of Maxell LR44 batteries for my kids’ toys and small electronics, and they’ve been excellent. The batteries arrived fresh and worked immediately without any issues. They hold their charge well and provide consistent power, so devices run smoothly without fading or intermittent problems. The packaging is simple but secure, making it easy to store the extra batteries. These are perfect for watches, calculators, small toys, and other gadgets that require LR44 (A76) batteries. Overall, Maxell delivers quality, dependable batteries at a reasonable price. Highly recommend keeping a pack on hand for household electronics!

I never knew we could go through batteries so quickly until we had kids whose toys require nearly every single different size of battery! We had to order the AG13 size battery for one of our kids' toys and normally don't have those around the house so I really liked the fact that we were getting 10 batteries for such a low price. I was a bit nervous because other reviewers had stated that the batteries hadn't worked for very long but I decided to give it a try anyway. When the batteries arrived, I was pleased that they looked new and none of them had gone bad. The batteries are also divided nicely into five two-packs and you can tear off two batteries at a time. I looked everywhere on the batteries and the packaging and there is no expiration date which would be nice to have so I know they will last us awhile. I was happy that the batteries fit well into my son's toy and the toy has been working well ever since. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and, if anything happens to change my mind, I will update this review. This 10 pack of batteries is a good deal compared to what you can buy in the store, so if you are feeling lucky and want to take a chance like I did, I would recommend purchasing it. I'm hopeful the batteries will last awhile but it's hard to know with no expiration date.

I used to buy my button batteries from Walmart or Batteries Plus. This model of battery cost me between $3.50 and $4.50 each, depending where I could find them. They weren't always available where I usually shop. I decided to check Amazon for these batteries since Amazon had almost everything else and, low and behold, here they were. Not only were they available, but I could buy ten batteries for less than what two batteries usually cost me. I use these batteries to power three different laser rifle sites. If my laser site were to go dead because of bad batteries it could be a very sticky and possibly dangerous situation. I not only have to rely on my equipment to "get the job done," but I also have to rely on the batteries that power my equipment. These batteries work fine and have lasted a bit longer than the "popular, name brand" batteries. Because of the ridiculously low price of these batteries I can order a bunch and keep enough extras on-hand at work to not only replace my batteries to to also provide batteries for my fellow officers in the event that their batteries wear out. Bottom line, these batteries work as well and a bit better than the "big name brand" batteries, they cost a whole lot less and they seem to "always" be available through Amazon, unlike the other stores where I've bought these batteries where it's hit or miss that they'll be in stock. My life and the lives of my fellow officers and civilians depend on these batteries working properly to power my laser site. I would not recommend these batteries to anyone if I didn't rely on these batteries myself. Considering the dependability, superior value, equivelent battery life and ready availability, I'll be buying these and other batteries from Amazon from now on. An additional bonus is that I won't have to drive into town for batteries anymore, saving me a bunch of money in gas. So.....if anyone can find a better battery at a better price let me know. I have a feeling that I won't be hearing from anyone any time soon.

Works good.

I've purchased the 10 pack of Maxell LR44 button cell batteries twice now, and had good results both times. I was hesitant, after seeing a number of one star reviews, but ultimately, the price was so low at just a couple of bucks including shipping that I had to give them a try. I'm glad I did. My package of batteries arrived quickly, and with no duds or exploded batteries. Considering that most of the time you pay more for a two-pack than these cost for ten, it's worth the risk of having a few DOA considering the savings. If your luck is good, as mine was, you'll be replacing batteries in a variety of toys and electronic books for a fraction of the price that you'd pay at a brick-and-mortar store. Overall, this is a solid product. If you order it, you'll likely be satisfied, and if you get a total lemon, you can probably use customer service venues to get a refund anyway so... Go ahead, roll the dice!

UPDATE: All 10 Batteries are completely spent; dead! Not a sign of energy in any of them. My suspicions were unfounded. Surprisingly arrived in my Mail Box in a plain envelope ahead of the Amazon estimated Delivery time! My Amazon Orders Tracking says its still on its way. Nope. I have them already! For 10 of these Batteries you cant get them any cheaper for Name Brand OEM Batteries. When I do finally go through all of these shall certainly Order from this Vendor once again. I should add they came in the original packaging wrapped in a sheet of paper nice and tight then stuffed in a normal Business Envelope so they were Shipped quite securely the way they did it. Quite clever really. This allowed them to use minimal US Postage. I appreciate their cleverness. I got what I wanted and they somehow made out too? They must have a lot of them to sell at this price? I hope they can continue to keep doing business like this. It makes me almost wish I needed more just to do Business with this Vendor. Yaas Legends Inc., Thank you!

Awesome

Son unas pilas de una marca reconocida, la duración es difícil de valorar por mi parte, no anoto cuando las cambio ni el uso que le doy a los aparatos que las usan. Relación calidad-precio adecuada. Lo único que no entiendo al escribir la opinión, es que Amazon me pregunte por el "sabor" de este producto aparte de la durabilidad y la relación calidad-precio. No creo que sea una buena idea preguntar por ese aspecto, están dando malas ideas.... Recomendaría su compra sin dudar.

Excellent performance.

Ottimo prodotto come da descrizione, arrivato in tempi rapidi. Consigliatissimo!
