1. Amazon
2. Duracell PC1604BKD Procell Alkaline Batteries, 9V (Pack of 12)
3. $15.75
4. Paper Box
5. Package was slightly damaged.
6. Good
7. None.
8. These things are very good. I was having issues with a digital lock that was rejecting the verified combination and also draining batteries within a week of installation. After calling the manufacturer they indicated that the lock was most likely malfunctioning and in some kind of penalty lockout loop. They recommended that I would need to contact a local locksmith. They also recommended to try brand new batteries which I had already done using traditional Duracell 9 volts with no luck. After searching Amazon, I thought I would give the Duracell Procell batteries a try before resorting to a locksmith. After installing the Procell battery, the combination worked on the first attempt.
9. This product could be packaged better but overall very impressed.
10. Highly recommended even over the traditional Duracell 9 volt batteries.

Interestingly enough my S&G 6120 digital combo lock was doing the same thing. In the beginning the lock worked fine, but as time went on I noticed the batteries would last less and less long before draining. Finally after installing two brand new Duracell 9 vt batteries and again having the lock signalling low batteries after less than a week of use, I took the S&G lock off and found part of the wiring was bare--The wire had been shorting out against the metal safe body for quite some time. I replaced the S&G 6120 lock with an old Kaba digital and also solved my 'black box' worries at the same time. The new lock works great and the batteries have been holding up fine
