The battery offers both reliable safety and ultimate peace of mind. Review: Better quality and value than Poundland! - I once read somewhere that Poundland sold more batteries per unit than any other retailer in the UK, and based on this alone I always used to buy their Kodak batteries assuming they were the best value out there. I was wrong. These desertcart batteries are far superior. For someone like me running a plethora of toddler toys, cat fountains, and electronic devices I really notice how long batteries last, as I’m always hunting around for the smallest screw driver trying to get the tiniest screw out of something or other. I can categorically say these batteries are great value and last a long time. The packaging is specifically designed around the shape of the batteries so they always arrive in perfect condition. It is far more convenient for me to have them arrive the next morning with Prime than high street shopping for them. The quantities available also always mean I have some in the cupboard ready for the next toy breakdown emergency! They are always kept in a high cupboard out of toddler hands however I also appreciate how tightly they are wrapped in plastic it’s unlikely one will fall out into prying hands. Review: Excellent value AA batteries - I used these in remotes, clocks, fairy lights and other household bits, and they have been completely reliable so far. The pack size is handy because there is always something in the house needing AA batteries. I have not had any leaking or short life issues in normal use. They are not fancy, but they are dependable and good value, which is exactly what I want from everyday batteries. ## Features - One 20-pack AA 1.5-volt performance alkaline batteries for reliable performance across a wide range of devices - Delivers the amount of power needed for a specific device; ideal for game controllers, toys, flashlights, digital cameras, clocks, and more - Note: these batteries are NOT rechargeable.

I was actually only here now to see if there were any official figure for this but no luck so far. I’ve tested many different batteries over the years and I must say these were some of the most consistent and reasonable capacity for price. I’ve tested amazon rechargeable batteries on the same setup and they have always been over 2000mAh which is there rated capacity. Hope this helps someone. **Q: Are batteries included?** A: Lol nice one **Q: Are theses recharageable ?** A: These batteries are definitely NOT rechargeable. If you attempt to recharge you may cause injury to you or others. Please don't. **Q: I find the ultrafire usb rechargeable torch , Can I fit this aa battery to light the torch?** A: These are NOT rechargeable batteries!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better quality and value than Poundland! *by J***B on 3 January 2026* I once read somewhere that Poundland sold more batteries per unit than any other retailer in the UK, and based on this alone I always used to buy their Kodak batteries assuming they were the best value out there.
