Whatever you might buy at radio shack for the holidays, PLEASE DO NOT LET THE SALES GUY WITH HIS .000005% COMMISION CONVINCE YOU TO BUY RADIO SHACK BATTERIES

I have two items that I have used these batteries with. A remote mouse with my laptop, and one of my kids toys. I can tel you the life span on the mouse is about 1/3 of duracell or energizer, and the kids toy car works for about a DAY on these batteries. DO NOT LET THEM ask you at the counter

Need Some batteries??? We have a FULL CAN on sale with a variety

Say no!!! Tell them a friend recommended against it. Fred Flinstones little bird in his record player would keep your electronic working better than these batteries. The solar heat from the Sun would work better:nono5:

LOL, no kidding Rob? I got one of those voice activated tv/stereo/dvd/ect/ect remotes for xmas last year,,,it came with a charger for the unit. I remember reading many warnings saying that alkaline batteries would get hot and catch fire if they were used in the charging unit!!! All makes sense now...of course I tried charging with alkalines and it has yet to blow up...................good stuff

If you buy radio shack products there has to be something wrong with you

Boys remember this post next time you go there, the guys at radio shack are all commission based. They make poverty level salaries all part time. They will tell you anything to make a sale and I would guess most guys here are gullible so you are easy targets.

Do you know what type of guys get hired at radio shack??

I will tell you boys because I know, one of higher ups was a bettor and I knew him.

1. Guys that get chucked out of HS for these reasons:

weed, drinking and guys that try to blow up **** with fake bombs. This is all true. They are fukkin rejects and sick fuks. Boys look at them closely, they all look strange and nuts. Some fukkin idiot last week tried to sell me weed right at the counter.

I swear these guys are the biggest rejects ever, some know a little about techy **** but not many. They all brag on how they got chucked out of HS and ****.

Walk in there and they always say "hey dude".

Stay away from there.

LMAO.........This is exactly what I was trying to tell Fish when he was going Christmas shopping there. Nothing at Radio Shack but high-priced junk............
Take it all back while you still have a chance Fish! LOL

Oh, and about the batteries. I always laugh when I see someone buying or replacing anything with cheap batteries such as "Ray-O-Vac" Or "Eveready". They last about 5 minutes and they're finished!
