  Can anyone comment on the quality between Dicks and Buns?

    Have never used the DS ones but regularly use Bunnings and can vouch for them.

    I prefer Buns, Dicks don't do it for me.

    These are about 4 cents more expensive per cell for slightly poorer quality batteries.
    If you're desperate for alkalines - and nowhere near a Bunnings - then I suppose this is a deal.

    pmupsinep - are buns sufficient enough simulation for you to not need your pp?

  Just based on price alone, the Bunnings Varta are a much better deal. Both are alkaline but I don't have any personal experience with the Varta. With the DSE ones, I used the AAA ones in my MP3 player for a couple of years and never had any problems with them. They lasted almost as long as the standard Duracell or Energizer Alkaline.

  These have been available from as low as $4 before I believe, maybe less. Bought a few, they're okay - nothing great of course.

  Has anyone used the Chevron brand batteries that Big W sell?
  About the same price as the Varta from Bunnings

  For Price comparison

  DSE - 33.7c each When you buy 80
  Varta (Bunnings) - 29.9c each When you buy 30
  Chevron (Big W) - 29.9c each When you buy 20

    I believe, from fairly close scrutiny, that they come off the same production line as the Eclipse batteries that Jaycar (used to?) (haven't been in there for a while) sell. Which means that they're pretty good - but not stellar.
    Tried a pack of AAA batteries some time back, and they did indeed perform about the same as the Eclipse ones.

      Thanks mate.
      I might give them a go and see how they hold up

        Go for the Vartas instead. They do last longer. Ikea's batteries are excellent also, and very keenly priced. As are Aldi's, which beat Duracell Ultra's - overall - in one test I read. They had large packs very cheap some time ago. They'll come around again.

  I've had too many DSE batteries leak electrolyte. Nasty stuff.
  Get Varta.

    I bought a pack of these last year for the kids toys. So far, used about 10 batteries in different toys, and have had 2 batteries leak. Would not recommend them for that reason.
