Introduction

In this review, we put the Energizer E96 Max Alkaline AAAA Batteries (model number E96BP2), a two-pack of these smaller-sized batteries, through their paces. Energizer has a long-standing reputation for producing reliable batteries, and we’ll explore whether this particular model lives up to the brand’s expectations. We tested them in various devices, from remote controls to specialized electronics, to give you a comprehensive look at their performance.

Features

The Energizer E96 Max AAAA batteries boast several key features. The claimed 12-year shelf life is a significant advantage, ensuring you can stock up without worrying about significant power degradation. The leak-proof design, guaranteed for up to two years post-use, is another crucial point, protecting your devices from potential damage. Energizer’s commitment to responsible manufacturing, notably the development of the world’s first mercury-free AA alkaline battery, adds a layer of environmental consciousness.

Performance

Over several weeks, we rigorously tested the E96BP2 batteries in various devices. In our low-drain devices such as a TV remote, the battery life was excellent, exceeding our expectations based on similar AAAA batteries from other manufacturers. In higher-drain devices, such as a wireless mouse, we observed consistent power delivery without noticeable voltage drops. We also conducted a shelf life test by leaving one unused pair in storage for a month to monitor voltage after this period. Our observations were aligned with Energizer’s claim of long shelf life with minimal voltage drop.

There were no instances of leakage or noticeable performance inconsistencies during our testing period. The batteries maintained their power consistently throughout their use cycle, without any sudden drops in performance.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Long shelf life, leak-proof design, consistent performance across various devices, environmentally responsible manufacturing.
• Cons: Price point may be slightly higher than some competitor brands, smaller sized batteries may not be suitable for all devices.

Final Verdict

The Energizer E96 Max Alkaline AAAA Batteries (E96BP2) delivered on their promises. Their long shelf life, consistent performance, and reliable leak-proof design make them a strong choice for users who need dependable power in a variety of devices. While the price might be slightly higher compared to some competitors, the peace of mind and consistent performance make it a worthwhile investment, especially for those seeking long-term reliability.

Overall, I highly recommend the Energizer E96BP2 batteries. They are a solid product that delivers on Energizer’s reputation for quality.
