I've also had the same problem as a bass player who reviewed these batteries. The battery is too tall and fat for tight battery cavities and don't last long enough. You can see from my attached ***PHOTOS*** that it doesn't even fit in my battery compartment w/o smashing it in and you don't want to do that because it'll bite into the attached wiring.
There are more cons for this particular usage than there are positives. They may work great in other applications but I'm going back to buying regular brand batteries for my electronic instrument needs.

Batteries were just a tiny bit longer than the ones they were replacing. This was a problem in my carbon monoxide detector... But the battery compartment is finicky to battery size. I imagine this would work fine in most places, so long as the battery compartment isn't too fancy.
By my measurements, the AmazonBasics battery is the same size as another heavy duty battery that won't fit in my CO detector. These batteries are 0.6mm longer and 0.6mm wider than a standard duracell battery.
My photos attached show some measurements... Which may not be perfect but hey I don't get paid for this:
1: The length measurement of an Amazon Basics battery (47.96mm), along side a Duracell (clearly shorter) and another brand "Heavy Duty" battery.
2: A measurement of the difference in thickness between the Amazon Basics and the Duracell battery. (0.59mm thicker)
3: A measurement of the difference in length between the Amazon Basics and the Duracell battery. (0.6mm longer)

Top reviews from other countries

I absently mindedly place the item in my trouser pocket with the intention of putting it in a drawer later.
At lunchtime I experienced a sharp stinging sensation in my left thigh.
On examination I had a red patch which was burning. The cause was quickly traced to the Amazon battery which had split top and bottom (almost disintegrated) no doubt leaking its dangerous chemicals onto my skin. I washed the infected area with cold water on learning that it was probably potassium hydroxide.
I may have been fortunate but had I Ieft the battery in a coat pocket or inserted in a device it could potentially have caught fire and resulted in serious injuries or even loss of life.
PLEASE WITHDRAW THESE FAULTY BATTERIES IMMEDIATELY - I CAN SHARE THE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE ( TO BOTH MYSELF & THE BATTERY) IF YOU TELL ME WHERE TO SEND IT.
Naturally I am most reluctant to use the other 7 in the box as they are not fit for purpose and would like a full refund please.
ADDED 4th August 2021
I cannot believe that these dangerous batteries are still on sale. To describe them as "The batteries provide a leak-free design" is patently untrue as they leaked onto my skin causing a painful burn on my thigh. I did NOT imagine the incident. needless to say I never did get my refund.

For the most part these AmazonBasics 9 Volt Batteries work great and for the price are an excellent value but there not for everyone and should be used and purchased with caution.
The main problem with these AmazonBasics 9V batteries is they are Slightly Larger than most other 9V batteries and the battery posts or terminals on the top of the AmazonBasics 9V are slightly shorter or protrude less than other name brand 9 volt batteries.
The AmazonBasics 9V batteries work well in my multimeter, wireless motion sensor, tone probe and tone generator however they don't fit or work with my wireless microphone, mixer, guitar tuner or CO2 detector.
I was intrigued by the slight difference in size between regular 9V batteries and the AmazonBasics brand so I took out my callipers and measured an AmazonBasics 9V and a Duracell 9V and here are the results
Length: 0.59mm Longer
When measuring the length of the battery from the top of the positive terminal to the bottom of the battery the AmazonBasics 9V battery is 0.59mm longer than a 9V Duracell battery.
Thickness: 0.53mm Thicker
When measuring the thickness the AmazonBasics battery was 0.53mm thicker than a 9V Duracell battery.
Terminal Height: 0.45mm Lower
When measuring the height or protrusion of the terminals on the AmazonBasics 9V battery compared to the Duracell it was visually evident that the terminals on the AmazonBasics 9V are lower and when measuring with callipers it turns out they indeed protrude out 0.45mm less than a 9V Duracell battery.
After measuring the two batteries I now understand why the AmazonBasics 9V batteries will not work in some of my devices. The AmazonBasics 9V battery is too big to fit into the housing of my CO2 detector and guitar tuner.
While the AmazonBasics 9V battery fits into the compartment of my cordless mic and microphone mixer the terminal posts are too short to make contact and therefore won't power up these devices.
So What's the Verdict? There's no denying these AmazonBasics Batteries are a fantastic deal and if you're a Prime Member you get an additional 20% off bringing the cost per battery down to $1.37 each, compared to $3.24 each for Duracell 9V's.
For my uses, I find the AmazonBasics batteries last about 70% as long as the Duracell's so when your factor in price and performance the AmazonBasics 9 Volts are a good value as long as they will fit and work in your device ... and that my friends is the magic question.
The bottom line - I will continue to purchase and use AmazonBasics 9V batteries for the devices they will work in and
Unfortunately I will still have to use the more costly name brand batteries for the devices they won't fit.

They will discharge over time - to avoid this keep in a cool fridge.
Don’t forget when these are dead they are not garbage -
you must take them to a battery recycler/battery store.
Long story short Just buy them...

However check the device you are using first. I put one of these into my smoke alarm to replace the old one and it didnt work.
The smoke alarm has printed on it, that it only works with a Duracell 9V.
I ignored that info but sure enough the smoke alarm wouldnt power up! I put a new Duracell in the alarm and it worked instantly.
So, my example might be a rare case - but make sure you check.
Having said that, I've used about 4 other batteries from this pack in some toys and tools around the house and they are all working fine.
I can't speak for their lifetime compared to other batteries, but you get so many at such a good price, does it even matter?
