If your home is anything like mine, AA batteries disappear faster than cookies in a jar. That's why I decided to put the Energizer MAX AA Alkaline Batteries (48 Count) to the test across multiple devices.

The Good Stuff: These batteries truly live up to their 'MAX' name. In my wireless gaming controller, they lasted nearly twice as long as store-brand batteries during intense Fortnite sessions. My TV remote went a full 8 months without needing a change - unheard of with bargain batteries!

Real-World Performance: The true test came with my kids' noisy toys. Even after weeks of constant button mashing from enthusiastic toddlers, these Energizers kept the music playing and lights flashing when cheaper brands would have given up.

Storage Superpower: What impressed me most was finding some forgotten batteries in my emergency kit after 18 months - they still worked perfectly in my flashlight during a power outage. That 10-year shelf life claim seems legit.

The Not-So-Good: The packaging is excessive (72 individual plastic wrappers!) but this actually makes them great for stocking different locations around the house. They're slightly pricier upfront, but the extended lifespan means fewer replacements.

Final Verdict: After six months of heavy use across 20+ devices, I'm convinced these are worth every penny. The consistent power output and leak protection give me peace of mind for my electronics. For high-drain devices especially, they outperform cheaper alternatives by miles.
