Comment:
Other than rechargeables, this is by far the best battery for digital cameras and high drain appliances such as toys and two way radios. <br /><br />The exceptionally long shelf life makes them ideal for emergency standby devices in which the batteries may not be replaced as often as they should be and you need the device to work in an emergency. <br /><br />I use primarily rechargeables in my camera, but keep 2 in the camera case for emergency backup. They ALWAYS work...and last. I prefer the Ultimate over the Advanced, and the cost is about the same.<br /><br />They are somewhat expensive, so I usually buy them on sale. Because of the long shelf life, they stay fresh for a long time.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I was changing batteries in my camera every two weeks.<br />I put a set of these Eveready ultimate batteries in over a year ago and they are still going strong. In the long run this is the most cost effective battery you can buy.

Strength
Only type of battery that will work in my digital camera
Weakness

I think Energinzer Lithium Batteries are good batteries for the price. Just wish they would last a little longer than 3 months. I will impressed and would buy this product again.
