In the past (and when on sale) I would buy ROV batteries...and they
would always fail prematurely for me.
Then I would think to myself, how could a big company still be in
business that made a faulty product. So I would try again.
Last time was a 5 year rated lithium 9Volt I put in a smoke
detector...it failed (detector started short beep) after 2 weeks!
I don't have problems with Duracell or Energizer. (I don't own stock
in these companies)

I've heard from other people that Energizer quality are
better. Can't say, I havn't done any testing. However, I've
had some bad ROV battereis, AAA, from Real Deals Dollar
Store. But, 20 battteries for a buck, I can't complain too
loudly. They were probably long out of date.

Hi,
Physical dimension between Duracell and Energizer is wee bit different.
I had a thing only accept Duracell in it's battery compartment. That
was my garage door remote at my last house.

I hear that. Rayovac rechargable NiMH cells rattle around,
in my mini mag.
