AmazonBasics Alkaline Batteries, AAA, 20 (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

Most customers are probably of the opinion is battery. But this is not so.
There are long-life batteries for devices with low power consumption, such as remote controls.
There are high-energy batteries for power guzzlers such as cameras and flashes.
There are special batteries for high-tech devices such as SD Card Readers, Organizers ...
These different types of batteries there is a good reason, because a digital camera uses high-energy batteries for more than just using cheap discounter batteries. It just annoying when every few days should change the batteries on holiday.

- Here it is not out of those batteries if they are long-lived or high-energy batteries. While there are two leaflets (One-year limited European warranty and warnings) in each 7 languages ​​(EN, D, IT, FR, Chin, JP, where one has forgotten FR to mention on the cover page), but no information on the composition or the application range the batteries.
- It is unclear whether it is alkaline manganese batteries, zinc-carbon batteries, lithium iron sulfide batteries, ... and more importantly NOT to batteries containing mercury. The only information is the product heading to the Amazon website, after they are alkaline batteries, but this is to remove the batteries NOT. So you make sure that you do not mix with the same batteries in other companies is purely.
- MADE IN CHINA: At least you are honest and represents it and write the large plan. This also explains why the batteries are so low, but rather indicates cheap low-energy batteries that could contain at the lax environmental regulations in China probably mercury. Furthermore, they are more expensive than manufactured in Germany brand batteries: Varta Industrial R3 AAA 40 piece special unit also Duracell is not much more expensive: Duracell Plus AAA battery 20 + 4 free Special Pack

Conclusion: Cheap batteries that work. However, any label what type, composition and mercury freedom is lacking in terms. Is it really necessary to buy batteries from CHINA, if there are German manufacturers?

There is a lack of further the basic ones prescribed by the European Union Information on the battery: "indelible markings on batteries, accumulators and battery packs with the following information: red crossed symbol of a wheeled bin in accordance with Annex (black here), capacity of the battery or the device battery (lacking SI unit F, the voltage indicated refer to the voltage) (the chemical symbols Hg, Cd and Pb if the batteries, accumulators and button cells more than 0.0005% mercury, more than 0.002% cadmium or more than 0.004% lead by weight). "

The safety instructions on the battery (Battery may explode or leak if recharged or Disposed of in fire or mixed with different battery types), can people who do not speak English, and there are quite a few, not be understood.
