An underperforming and needlessly confusing battery
Why is this battery backwards? If you've ever used a battery before, then you probably know (subconsciously) that the side with the mark on it is the + side. Allmax decided to throw all of that out the window and do the opposite with this one. Don't believe us? Look at these Allmax AAs vs some of the competition:
In addition to the strange design decisions the battery also didn't last very long, finishing just 2 spots ahead of last place in a test of 10 batteries.
If you are interested in putting your batteries in backwards and wondering why your devices aren't working then these are the batteries for you. Otherwise, skip them.
Cheap
WHY IS IT BACKWARDS
