Do these corrode the same as alkaline batteries?

I haven't seen these corrode at all and I use these in offshore GPS trackers on platforms and boats. They last around 6 months before changing. Great battery.

I personally haven't experienced that, but I can say they last extremely longer than Alkaline Batteries.

Typically batteries don't corrode unless left in for a really long time, or in some sort of extreme environment. I'm assuming you're dealing with a harsh environment which causes your concern. But "no", no corrosion on mine after about 6 months in a point-and-shoot camera. Well over 1,000 pictures and still going

So far no corrosion on mine, they have been in use for 3-months outside in very cold temperatures and lots of snow

I use these batteries in an outdoor weather station sending unit and have not experienced any corrosion yet , the sending unit is not in direct contact with the elements but is outdoors under a roof !

No. This listing says the batteries expire in March 2016. Alkalines have a 5 year shelf life, and these are at the end of their shelf life. This is why they are so reasonably priced as far as 9V batteries go.

Alkaline batteries die quickly in the heat. The hotter it is, the longer it is hot, the faster they die. Try lithium batteries instead for hot climates.

I have had my batteries last more than 3 years ..... I have several of these type (different Models of Stack-On Safes) ... and the batteries last so long I forget .... I use DURACELL Alkaline .... The bottom line ... this is a great safe and battery life is NOT a concern really.

Sure, it can be normal, some people will get more or less, depending on how long you use it and how much pressure you use, stressing the batteries. I recommend using Pre-charged Rechargeable NiMH AA Batteries, which I have a charger for. The charger doesn't cost much, and will pay for itself by not buying throwaway batteries. They are very reliable, hold a charge for just as long as new alkaline. Don't buy the nickel cadmium type, they're no good. I'm happy with my results.

These take AA batteries. I own a few of them, and I use rechargeable AA. They work great on either alkalines or rechargeables.

Yes. I researched this battery size (which comes down to who manufactures it and the size they list. This is not your common "AA" or "C" size that doesn't change by manufacturer) These batteries are silver oxide which last longer and maintain their voltage and are better than Alkaline.

I have not had this experience, but could the battery contacts be corroded? The directions do say to remove the batteries when not using, so that is what I do, since I only use it for traveling.

Good question. Mine were black and protected for sure (slightly longer) than any of my non protected green label batteries.

I have good luck with these batteries.They last as long as Dewalt batteries,bit the case is more fragile.

Sorry, I'm using alkaline batteries, and they're doing fine for me. I put them under my kitchen cabinets, so I don't always need them, but I know I made the right choice with these lights.

No, they are not the same. The voltage is the same, but the batteries are intentionally designed to NOT be interchangeable.

My experience so far is you will get a bit more than 50% of the energy that the alkalines had new. So of them have a tendency to leak after they have been charged, so discard those as soon as you notice any of the tell-tale white residue around either terminal.

I've used only alkaline batteries in them. But you can use any type of AA batteries. I like them a lot.

Rechargeable batteries are usually 1.2v, while alkaline are 1.5v. AA batteries hold a lower amount of energy reserves depending on what you buy (anywhere from 750 mAh to 2000 mAh). Alkaline D batteries hold a lot more, depending on the brand (up to 17,000 mAh that I have seen). The spacers would be less useful, or maybe even useless, for high energy usage, but work quite well with low energy use. I have a set so that I can use them in my lanterns during power outages, since I have a lot of AA rechargeable batteries for TV/AV remotes etc.. I don't want the bulk of lots of extra D cells.

Hello: These batteries are the "exact" same types as their normal alkaline "c" cells. The difference is only in the name and these are sold commercially to contractors and tradesman. The mAh rating is 7800 mAh. As I have said before, get the Duracell Alkaline and the Duracell Procell spec sheets from Duracell and you will see they have the same specs.

Hey J YO,It's hard to say. I haven't actually charged them yet. I used them out of the package, factory charge and they are STILL going. I'll update you once I charge and use them a couple times. The factory charge, thus far, is our performing ANY rechargeable I've ever used, and any alkaline, for that matter. It also may be the charger though. I did not purchase a new charger for these batteries as I already have two. Have you been charging yours with an old charger?
