Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I buy nothing but Duracell. They are remarkably long lived and I am well aware of what I can expect from the product. I put these in towards the end of December 2016. I put them in some battery powered candles with the moving plastic flame and I haven't had them on for more than a couple of minutes at a time to show some friends. The candles are quite clever. Well, I thought that I would get another short look at the candles today, May 9, and only 1 of the 5 candles worked. Each uses 3 batteries. This is not the performance that Duracell provides. I am not certain as to how these came to be sold on Amazon but they are not as advertised. I will stick with the hardware store sales of the Duracell. These have a 10 year shelf like? Not even 6 months.
