I never had any issues with them. You can't expect a real accurate calibration, but it beat trying to find a tester to see if it was a new battery or kaput.

I tried rechargeables in the 90s and was not impressed. I hadn't realized they are better now. Will have to give them another go. These powercheck strips would still be very applicable to rechargeables too.
