For long-term use of course I can not say anything. That reminds me, however, in the three months letztzen Ansmann AA batteries failed, I hope to come here to better quality. Expensive enough they were indeed.
After 8 weeks measured it all batteries and yet full. So I can not notice any problems as other buyers.
Update:. After half a year with a total of 8 batteries no failures, full performance of all batteries in many concert photos.
I would now only buy these Varta batteries.
