According to a semi-scientific test I did about 10 years ago Rayovac batteries outperformed all of their competitors. We took 3 batteries each from several brands and hooked them direct to flashlight bulbs. The rayovacs lasted days longer than the others.
Insane price! I won't need AA or AAA for something like 5 years. That's assuming they hold their charge that long. But even if they don't, at this price, who cares!
Ordered a pack of each. Those triples will come in handy for all the automatic soap dispensers I bought. Also, my order number was young-vicious-slave. Best one yet!
I don't think i need any batteries but I think I might buy a box or two so i can donate some batteries to toys for tots. Thats something a lot of people forget to donate with the toys.
Feelin' pretty electric about my first purchase! There's a whole battery of things I'll do with these. This is a great deal, but I hope it's not free of charge. Etc.
I gotta say this deal really has me charged up! One could say it ignited a spark in me. Perhaps I could aaa ohm have the power to come up with better puns.
Wasn't going to get any but then jenny mentioned her Xbox controllers and I realized the Xbox One in my fuku buckaroo was just a ploy to get me to buy these. Well played, Meh.
Couldn't pass this one up... I have tons of AAA Kodak batteries left from the days of *oot, but my AAs ran out long ago. So I'm in! One pack will last until Black Friday, which is when I usually stock up.
This is a fantastic Meh. It's not even Meh. It's a a-Meh-zing. I can't believe I tried to pull off that joke. I am going to go and wallow in shame now.
Unless you're still rocking a cassette Walkman or something, that should last you a decade or so (which is how long these batteries are guaranteed to work).
So how long will these last if my secret pleasure is to listen to old cassettes on my walkman ? No, seriously.
You were already sold out of AAA, so by solving for x in this simple algebraic formula, I think that I have stumbled upon a quick workaround: where x = # of AA batteries needed to equal 1 AAA battery; AAx=AAA x=AAA/AA AHA! I can just cut one in half!
I just put AA batteries on my Ziplist to get at the store and then this comes up ... hmn ... if tomorrow is a pack of sponges, I am going to be freaked out.
Received my batteries today. One of the worst packing I ever saw. All the batteries were dropped in the box, the retail packing was torn open and all batteries scattered in the box. Even individual 4 pack was broken for lot of them See the sad packing below Sad Packing
As long as the batteries aren't exploded and leaking deadly acid everywhere, it seems okay for them to detach from the cardboard back, we do have to ship cheap. Tell me if I'm wrong here but this doesn't seem like a hill to die on to me.
at least in a box there was less chance of them falling out or getting damaged in such a way as to cause leakage, though you have seen me shaking the mailer going What the Heck?????
Mine was horrible too. Several of the individual packs opened and were all over the box. The mailman shoved the box in my mailbox instead of delivering it to the door so I had difficulty dislodging it and getting it out.
@swatkat@JonT I had the same packaging issue, about half dozen of the individual 4 packs busted. That said it's no real issue other than messing with my OCD.
The gift thing does bring up a valid point. I bought these specifically to donate to toys for tots, etc. I can't do that if they are out of their packaging. Let's hope that when mine get here, they're in their home and not wandering about the neighborhood.
Mine 3 packages arrived loose in a box. Due to the extreme distance between Meh and my house (12 miles), I couldn't find a single bit of damage....talk about a Meh transaction, now what am I going to whine about?
Sorry about the shitty packaging. Mine were all busted up as well. I ran a very scientific test between batteries well packed and poorly packed and they both worked the same.
So, not only did my batteries arrive all loose (well, there goes the whole no-mess feature of the original packaging), the packer messed up my order: I bought 1 pack of AAA and 1 pack of AA batteries, and ended up with all AA. Not a good sign for my first Meh.
@laughlynne just looked this up and it appears we have the incorrect address or it was undeliverable. Send an email to halp@meh.com with your address and order number and we'll look into it for you.
Meh- you should really work on your packaging skills. Glad I didn't order the 2 pack of Kindle Fires the other day, b/c if they showed up like this it would not be a good story... my box
Mine came in a pristine outer box. The AAA's were intact, but the AA's found a vortex that 1/3 fell into. 9 loose 4-packs, 4 loose singles, 3 loose wrappers, and 20 invisible batteries.
Vortex is only explanation, right? No holes in box and tape looked original. How cool, er.. I mean Meh.
@pugsly My AAs were a mess, too. I didn't even think to count them to see if they were all there. Yikes. If you email them, they may be able to sort it out for you.
My AAs were a mess too ... the AAAs looked like a few more bumps on the road and they would have been in about the same state. But the new I've tested work fine.

This handy post by silalus over at Woot gives some per battery comparisons.
For reference, ours break down to:
$0.13 per battery if you’re a VMP for 1 pack
Not a VMP? It’s $0.23 per battery with shipping

90 days
thanks for the price comparison. saved me the math I wasn't going to do
To be more precise, the AA are 13.3⃛¢/ea. and the AAA are 12.5¢/ea. before shipping.
If I was a woman I might have a need for batteries to power my vibrators, alas I'm not a woman and nothing i own uses batteries.
@krycek What about guybrators??Like http://www.hotoctopuss.com (though it includes a built-in rechargeable batt, so it may not really apply)
Made in USA batteries? I did not know those existed. Good to know.
my first meh since the Zero Day shirt,
More meh
According to a semi-scientific test I did about 10 years ago Rayovac batteries outperformed all of their competitors. We took 3 batteries each from several brands and hooked them direct to flashlight bulbs. The rayovacs lasted days longer than the others.
I've read similar reviews that stated the same. Good stuff.
fastest meh purchase yet.
Insane price! I won't need AA or AAA for something like 5 years. That's assuming they hold their charge that long. But even if they don't, at this price, who cares!
Supposedly until 2023, so yer good.
"Lasts as long as Duracell" Says on the package, second tier company knows it's place lol.
I thought they were both the same company now?
Laughed out loud, literally, at the last picture.
Brings me back to fort building as a kid. And why does the Minesweeper always get stepped on?
Me too. I had to clean OJ of my screen.
The price is great, but today's meh face is even better, so no sale.
You can buy and click 'meh'. They are not mutually exclusive.
Not technically, no, but I am a strict Mehnichean.
Makes sense. Was just letting you know you could do both in case you didn't know already. :-)
Anyone else click meh today? The face is an outlet. Well played, Meh.
Sockety-face rules!
Yeah but is that really a meh face? More of a surprise/shock than meh indifference. :'|
Just the thing for my light-up chiming battery-powered soap dispensers!
don't you mean my no-touch chiming ketchup and mustard holders?
Gross!
Ordered a pack of each. Those triples will come in handy for all the automatic soap dispensers I bought. Also, my order number was young-vicious-slave. Best one yet!
I don't think i need any batteries but I think I might buy a box or two so i can donate some batteries to toys for tots. Thats something a lot of people forget to donate with the toys.
Good thought
Good idea!
not bad
I stayed up for this? I belong to costco, I have enough batteries for a lifetime already.
you sure did. while I got some sleep, woke up refreshed and still bought them.
Of course, if I do buy them, we will never have another bad storm again. If I don't, there will be a hurricane next week.
At least we'll know who to blame. ;)
@ryaneil, obviously.
@marklog and I thought the pink bunny might take this one. That's what I get for thinking. bleat
My first Meh purchase. Who can't use batteries?
That's what she said. :'| You know the 2nd part..
Same here. Ruined a perfectly good meh streak.
Feelin' pretty electric about my first purchase! There's a whole battery of things I'll do with these. This is a great deal, but I hope it's not free of charge. Etc.
Yes. Very yes.
Those are some powerful puns.
You hope the deal isn't free of charge? Not to seem negative, but that seems like it would be a positive thing.
Not sure if Chops is making a pun (+/-) or actually confused by mine.
I say pun intended.
Are these Advanced+ batteries different from the regular Rayovacs? I've had terrible luck with the regular ones leaking, particularly the Cs and Ds.
I needed these for my Xbox controllers and testing things I sell on eBay. Also, I might just make a fort out of batteries. Thanks, Meh!
Anyone want to place bets on how many hours till they sell out. I'm going with between 7 and 8 am
ya the AAA's are already out :(
Ok. The last picture may be the whole reason I will buy these batteries even though I don't really need more batteries! Not fair meh.
Prepared for Christmas? Yep. Nothing says "I'm sorry, kid." like a toy without batteries.
And nothing shows you gave it no more than 15 seconds thought, with a giant pack of 2nd/3rd tier batteries.
@babybear: WTF? Rayovac is a common enough brand & if you read the specs, these are individually 4-packed. No need to give them all at once.
Bought one of each. I'm sure these will never come in handy for all my future Meh purchases.
Can you ever have too many batteries? If you don't hear from me in about a week, safe bet is yes.
I gotta say this deal really has me charged up! One could say it ignited a spark in me. Perhaps I could aaa ohm have the power to come up with better puns.
Wasn't going to get any but then jenny mentioned her Xbox controllers and I realized the Xbox One in my fuku buckaroo was just a ploy to get me to buy these. Well played, Meh.
Sure, rub it in some more.
I'm a giver that way.
Couldn't pass this one up... I have tons of AAA Kodak batteries left from the days of *oot, but my AAs ran out long ago. So I'm in! One pack will last until Black Friday, which is when I usually stock up.
Great for my wife's toy box.
huehuehue
@Jont I can't get over ^
This is a fantastic Meh. It's not even Meh. It's a a-Meh-zing. I can't believe I tried to pull off that joke. I am going to go and wallow in shame now.
Real mehn don't wallow in shame.
So how long will these last if my secret pleasure is to listen to old cassettes on my walkman ?
No, seriously.
budding-rushing-cart
I always get strange looks walking down the street, wonder why...
Come on, at least upgrade to
I don't really need batteries. Can I just have the army men?
burn through batteries all the time with video production equipment, so this was a no brainer.
Rechargeable batteries suck power from the earth, making it an easy target for alien invaders.
Do these work with JBL speaker docks?
probably the worst use of them, but yes.
My first meh since the meh Tshirt.
Too lazy to recharge....got these instead. Hopefully, they will at least last couple of years :)
Should be good for 10 years, that's 5 whole couples!
I bought one of each.
Now I can use my soap dispensers:)
I'm straining my neck trying to figure out if there's something actually spelled out in the war pic. Hmph
in for 9 packs of AA!
In for 1 pack of AA's. Usually buy Ikea batteries, but these were even cheaper than their meh ones.
Will @harrison do a deconstruction post on these? ;)
MY HANDS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE ON FIRE
Thanks and goodbye
You're welcome and hello
You say goodbye, I say hello. Hello, hello.
I do not get why you say bye / I do say hi
You were already sold out of AAA, so by solving for x in this simple algebraic formula, I think that I have stumbled upon a quick workaround:
where x = # of AA batteries needed to equal 1 AAA battery;
AAx=AAA
x=AAA/AA
AHA! I can just cut one in half!
No, that'd be AAA = AA/2. You have x=AAA/AA, which reduces to x=A. You need an A battery.
Too much math, not enough coffee. Ouch, says my brain, ouch.
he can cut an AA in half to give him an A, then solder it to a remaining AA to get an AAA. or some sort of explosive.
AAA Sold Out?...blerg.
Just meh luck....bought AA anyways
Drat! Out of AAAs!
I just put AA batteries on my Ziplist to get at the store and then this comes up ... hmn ... if tomorrow is a pack of sponges, I am going to be freaked out.
/me goes into database and changes tomorrow's sale
2-for-Tuesday sponges? How riveting!
Just a simple man who needs sponges and a shower tote for the gym :)
We can only hope that tomorrow's sale will be deemed spongeworthy.
@slappywhite2001
I just got Meh'd
Don't get meh'd, get even!
I'll finally be able to reinstall my smoke detectors! Fire protection? Meh.
My stupid smoke detectors take a D battery. I will die in a fire due to being too lazy to search for D battery at the store.
what kind of smoke detector doesn't use a 9-volt?
I clearly meant 9-volt and not D battery for mine.
@harrison: I've seen some which take (2)AA batteries.
This deal was way to powerful to pass up.
new here, no confirmation email for order? no order history? (signed in with amazon)
There will not be a confirmation email. Order history @ https://meh.com/orders
They will also not send you a tracking email. http://meh.com/faq
Picked some up. First meh purchase!
Nasty, nasty, meh. Order number "uber-loveable-flesh"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Meh, you are doing a horrible job of talking me out of buying your stuff.
Despite knowing better, Meh still insists on killing the planet for profit. Mediocre indeed!
Meh, you are awesome!
My first time using meh, I was wondering if you get sent a confirmation email? I haven't received one yet, but I definitely placed an order.
edit: Never mind, just noticed somebody asked the same question above.
Finally got off my butt to get my CC for something else and sold out. Never mind - I'm sure tomorrow will bring something just as crappy
Now you're getting it!
only 15 more minutes until i can be underwhelmed again!
Hi, Just got my Batteries. May I suggest though that a Bubble Mailer may not be the best way to ship batteries
Mine came in a box... a box full of loose 4 packs of batteries, and empty display packages. Fixed it right up with a gallon size ziplock.
I too got a bubble mailer.
Received my batteries today. One of the worst packing I ever saw. All the batteries were dropped in the box, the retail packing was torn open and all batteries scattered in the box. Even individual 4 pack was broken for lot of them
See the sad packing below Sad Packing
As long as the batteries aren't exploded and leaking deadly acid everywhere, it seems okay for them to detach from the cardboard back, we do have to ship cheap. Tell me if I'm wrong here but this doesn't seem like a hill to die on to me.
Yeah, my two packs were scattered around the bottom of the box, too. Luckily only one 4-pack had broken open and the rest were intact.
got the bubble wrap and were also scattered all over, oh well, less packaging i have to worry about getting thru to get batteries.
I've seen worse. If that were a kindle fire than that's another story.
at least in a box there was less chance of them falling out or getting damaged in such a way as to cause leakage, though you have seen me shaking the mailer going What the Heck?????
Mine was horrible too. Several of the individual packs opened and were all over the box. The mailman shoved the box in my mailbox instead of delivering it to the door so I had difficulty dislodging it and getting it out.
I dunno. Sounds like we saved you the hassle of
Great, now I'll never be able to give these out as gifts.
If you're planning on giving someone batteries as a gift, they're probably better off without you having that as an option.
on the bright side, I now have 540 Christmas gifts to give to my 540 employees
@JonT Whenever I give a kid a battery-operated toy, I give the parents at least twice as many batteries as it needs. No one's complained yet!
(Also, I arrived at that rigorous mathematical formula by assuming said kid would play with it for two days and then throw it away.)
@swatkat @JonT I had the same packaging issue, about half dozen of the individual 4 packs busted. That said it's no real issue other than messing with my OCD.
@swatkat - Same for mine, but I guess as long as the batteries work... meh...
Mine arrived intact. All my friends have been like, "Dude, that's a really nice battery package. It's not torn or anything!" Jealous?
The gift thing does bring up a valid point. I bought these specifically to donate to toys for tots, etc. I can't do that if they are out of their packaging. Let's hope that when mine get here, they're in their home and not wandering about the neighborhood.
Yeah, I don't think mine are in any condition to donate. Bummer. That's the only reason I bought them. Lesson learned.
@Thumperchick FWIW, they are individually wrapped in packs of 4 with individual barcodes. At least mine were.
@SpenceMan01 - you are correct! I'm stoked! They can just toss a 4 pack in with gifts! PERFECT!
Mine 3 packages arrived loose in a box. Due to the extreme distance between Meh and my house (12 miles), I couldn't find a single bit of damage....talk about a Meh transaction, now what am I going to whine about?
Sorry about the shitty packaging. Mine were all busted up as well. I ran a very scientific test between batteries well packed and poorly packed and they both worked the same.
Curse you, @marklog!
So, not only did my batteries arrive all loose (well, there goes the whole no-mess feature of the original packaging), the packer messed up my order: I bought 1 pack of AAA and 1 pack of AA batteries, and ended up with all AA. Not a good sign for my first Meh.
@Breex243 You should have an email response from us about this. Sorry, I think Irk packed yours up.
@JonT Yup, got taken care of quickly, looking forward to getting back on Phoenix on my TI
@Breex243
@JonT I think it was @marklog s fault
I still haven't received my batteries, and I ordered them 11 days ago.
@laughlynne just looked this up and it appears we have the incorrect address or it was undeliverable. Send an email to halp@meh.com with your address and order number and we'll look into it for you.
@laughlynne They're still good for, like 9 years and 354 days. Maybe more if they calculate in the leap years!
my batteries were packed so well.
even padded with bundles of $100 bills.
thanks meh!
A++++++ seller, will do business again.
Meh- you should really work on your packaging skills. Glad I didn't order the 2 pack of Kindle Fires the other day, b/c if they showed up like this it would not be a good story... my box
@MOMMY2FOURKIDZ my kindles just showed up in a bubble envelope. Perfect condition.
mine came like this on the AA pack, most of the 4 packs were intact, minus 1 pack
Got my batteries today, went to put the AAA into my remote and they didn't fit. Why? You sent me all AAs...I should have gotten 3 AAs and 1 AAA.
Am I supposed to make my own AAAs by whittling down AAs?
@knuteski Send us an email at halp@meh.com and we'll chat.
@knuteski would not recommend, see previous reply re: hands
I ordered 2 of both, and it came in a nice little box without any issues. Next time you should just make sure you spend more money.
Mine came today. In one piece, too. No problems here.
Mine came in a pristine outer box. The AAA's were intact, but the AA's found a vortex that 1/3 fell into. 9 loose 4-packs, 4 loose singles, 3 loose wrappers, and 20 invisible batteries.
Vortex is only explanation, right? No holes in box and tape looked original. How cool, er.. I mean Meh.
@pugsly My AAs were a mess, too. I didn't even think to count them to see if they were all there. Yikes. If you email them, they may be able to sort it out for you.

Mine showed up last week. I was surprised because I had completely forgotten about ordering them in the first place. Suck it, Eneloops!
