  Product photo on the Amazon webpage indicates are good to Dec 2024 … which seems quite OK … but nonetheless must be pretty old stock given Energizer claim of holding their power for up to 10 years.

  2019 and we still use disposable batteries……

    They're perfect for all the cordless mice and keyboards, various TV remotes, and wall clocks at work. They'd last a year or three, so rechargeable batteries don't make sense.

    e.g. in a clock it would take 18 years to break even (one alkaline costs 33c, one Ikea AA NiMH costs $2 (6x), one alkaline lasts 3 years) - and that's assuming the NiMH battery doesn't fail, degrade, or get thrown away by someone else in those 18 years.

    A remote control that takes two AAs can last a year on alkalines. That's 66c a year vs $4 for NiMHs. It'll take 6 years to break even, once again assuming the NiMH cells don't degrade or fail. If you're a lighter user it can last two years - then it'll take 12 years to break even.

    I have a wall thermometer at home whose two AA alkaline batteries lasted over 6 years. It would take 36 years to break even if I used NiMH batteries instead.

      Yeah disposable still serves a purpose as you've mentioned above. With a 30 pack however, I could replace every battery in my house 5 times over!

        Yeah, apart from very low-drain devices, I don't have many devices that would benefit from alkaline AAs any more. All my higher-drain devices work well on NiMH batteries or have built-in Li-Ion batteries which is much more cost-effective.

      All true… but Sometimes it would be better to care more about environment than the saving.
      For a mouse there's absolutely no reason not to use a rechargeable.

        but Sometimes it would be better to care more about environment than the saving.

        It'd be interesting to compare the environmental cost of making 1 AA NiMH battery for a 10-year lifespan vs 3 AA alkalines for the same 10 year lifespan. The alkalines can be recycled too, to reduce the impact.

        For a mouse there's absolutely no reason not to use a rechargeable.

        At home, sure. But at an office where a staff member might toss out their mouse battery when it dies a year after it's installed as they forgot that it's a NiMH cell, it's easier and more cost-effective to use alkalines instead.

    Some devices need the 1.5V cells so the rechargables at 1.2V don't really cut it.

  Mmm, do consider the Varta AAs from Bunnings as well. They're $9.92 for 30.

    Yep, they're my go-to batteries.

    Never had a problem with them and great value.
