    Default A Company That Stands Behind their Product

    I purchased some (expensive) Energizer lithium AA batteries for a trail camera hoping they would last a couple of years. They worked great until we got a -10 cold snap when the camera stopped sending pictures. After a while I pulled the camera and tested the batteries and found 2 that were low voltage and probably were the problem. I contacted Energizer and they got back to me very quickly and opened a "case". After submitting a couple of pictures from the batteries and a few weeks I received a cheque for $24US. I would have been happy with a couple of replacement batteries. I'm normally a Duracell guy but I think I may switch. TC

    Use the same ones in my cam also. Great batteries

    They refunded me for the cost of an 8 pack a few years ago as one battery was low when I unpacked them. I now test every battery before putting them in my cams. I get a year out of them, but expecting 2 years is a little optimistic in my mind.
    My refund was only $15.99 so they sure have went up in price.

    Next year I will test them before hand as well, just never thought of it before. I should have said 2 seasons rather than years. I put them up for a few months in the spring for turkeys and then in Sept. again until Jan. in the fall. I've got Duracell alkalines that are still good after 2 seasons so I expected more from lithium. TC

    Testing each battery beforehand is sound advice. Could save a lot of hassles down the road.

    How are you testing the batteries? I would think if you tested for correct voltage they could still fail under load.

    I have a smart charger and I just test the voltage with that. All the others were around 1.6-1.7v the bad ones were 1.38 and 1.35. TC
