Are these good for gaming controllers?

Not ideal. Controllers are high-drain, and premium alkalines or rechargeable NiMH cells will last longer per charge.

How do they compare with Duracell or Energizer?

They cost less per cell but generally run shorter in high-drain devices. For remotes and clocks the gap is small.

Can I use them in cameras?

Only as a backup. Cameras and flashes drain alkalines fast; use lithium or rechargeable cells for regular shooting.

Alkaline cells have a shelf life of several years. Store them dry and at room temperature and check the date code on the pack.

What devices are they best for?

Remotes, wall clocks, kitchen scales, LED lights and basic toys. Anything low-drain and used often.

Are they rechargeable?

No. They are disposable 1.5 V alkaline cells and should not be put in a charger.

Our take on the Electryx AA Ultra Alkaline Batteries, 50-Pack

Electryx AA Ultra Alkaline batteries are standard 1.5 V disposable cells sold in a 50-pack, aimed at households that go through batteries steadily in remotes, toys, clocks and LED lights. They are a budget store-brand-style alkaline, so they sit below Duracell and Energizer on high-drain performance but cost far less per cell. Expect solid run time in low-drain devices and shorter life in cameras, gaming controllers and motorized toys. Buy them for volume and everyday gadgets, not for demanding electronics.
