Saw these in Bunnings today in a big crate at checkout. Both AA and AAA - lots of stock. Stock appears to be Australian as it has a 1800 AU number on the back for contact.
Produced Date is September 2020, Expiry Date September 2030.
I know Eneloop are all the rage - but if you need Akaline for some reason these seem like a pretty sharp price.
Yep I gave up on Duracell because of leaking and just not living up their expiry dates printed on the label.
I use Varta now and found them to be okay. But more importantly no leaks.
I used varta before. It also leaks.
not as often as duracell, within code
@ScoMosas: duracell doesn't deal with claims or complaints in my experience …. besides the premium priced shit batteries you get zero response from complaints or claims….
I guess I got lucky.
I have experienced a few leaky duracells wrecking remote controls.
I don't use them any more.
Yep will never use them now leak all over the place
Alkaleaks…
Yup, experienced firsthand. We no longer use Duracell.
+1 more here too. I will never buy duraleak AA or AAAs again after having many instances.
How are these compared with "Varta AAA Alkaline Batteries - 24 Pack" $9.92?
From my experience with this brand, they don't last long at all. I suppose it depends what you are using them in though.
I bought Varta for remote controls etc and they seem fine for that.
How do they compare with the ALDI super alkaline AAA 14-pack for $4.99?
Aldi ones are crap.
Leakier than the Titanic…… I'm sick of cleaning up after them.
Here here, I won’t use them anymore
yank shit
Yeah indeed. I won't touch Duracell batteries with a 10 foot pole. I value my devices. Especially my Xbox One controllers. No Duracell is going in one of those.
Agree with comments re Duracell and leakages… I would only use them in high-drain devices where the batteries are changed regularly, definitely not in remotes etc.
Some months back I picked up very long dated Energizer AA 38 pack for under $20 at Bunnings. Man, that was a good deal.
And here was I thinking it was a sweet "one-of" deal.
By the way, are you still singing with Love Reaction? ;-)
P-R-I-M-E Prime Mover
Baby You're M-I-N-E I'm The Groover
Better deal for AA (slightly). AAA version is only a 30 pack though. I prefer the Energizers too.
Get the Varta ones at Bunnings. Best alkaline battery.
Meh… normal price for Vartas. Have had no trouble with them.
One of the oldest and largest battery companies in the world. Established in German and now run out of the US.
RRP
Great price but … …
I have bought Duracells in bulk for many years however the last couple of years have seen quite a few leakages.
I no longer buy Duracell as I think their quality control is rubbish.
Just got energizer from Amazon
Good choice. I haven't yet had any leak problems with Energizer or Varta batteries.
Yep - I'll never buy another Duracell.
I think the "Bunny" has been leaking!
I think the bunny stole the match
There is little differences in capacity between brands of alkaline batteries - at least not to justify the differences in prices.

I noticed in about 9 months that my Energizer max plus in my remote leaked but could have started leaking earlier.
These batteries are not cheap even when buying in bulk value packs ($0.50 to $1.00 depending on the quantity)
Panasonic Eneloop Rechargeable batteries are definitely cost effective and would buy a few when they are 50% off at Amazon.
Everyone complaining about leaking so which non rechargables do i buy then ?
You won't go wrong with Eneloop rechargeable batteries.

I've heard stories about leaking Duracell batteries.
