    I believe the price is indeed good for alkaline batteries, but with the growing popularity of low discharge batteries like Eneloop, which provides long term cost savings and actually less chance of leakage, I'm starting to find that alkaline batteries appear expensive at whatever the price it's sold at.

    • Cluster on 19/04/2012 - 23:40

      True. And for applications where a full 1.5v is an absolute must, there are NiZn batteries (available online, not yet popular in Australia). $2.50ea for AA cells, inc postage on eBay. Single use batteries should be a niche market right now for specific applications where it takes years to run down one charge, such as clocks, remote controls, etc.

      • tonyjzx on 20/04/2012 - 00:24

        hmm

        this is the first time i've heard of NiZn - general consensus seems to be that if your device operates well with Eneloops, stick with it

        problem is eneloops are 1,000 to 1,500 cycles

        NiZn = 200 cycles and does anyone really need 1.5v?

        • Cluster on 20/04/2012 - 10:18

          I've got one device that won't work with 1.2v cells. It's a Casio keyboard that takes 6x AA. Works fine with NiZn cells however. Also you'll see a difference in toys with DC motors and incandescent light torches

      • Marky66 on 20/04/2012 - 07:34

        I agree, but I get just as many leaking Duracells ruining devices as the cheaper brands. If there is any hint of a Duracell (or any battery) running low, I check to see if it is leaking rather than waiting for it to run completely flat and finding its been leaking for a while. I tend to use single use batteries in children's toy's, but then again, when its used infrequently its not unusual to find a name brand battery has leaked the next time the toy is used.

      • Russ on 20/04/2012 - 13:01

        Wikipedia says NiMh batteries have higher voltages:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizn

        They say 1.8V freshly charged, 1.65 nominal. May be too high for some devices, particularly devices with four or more batteries in series.

        • Russ on 26/04/2012 - 22:52

          Oops, I meant NiZn batteries have higher voltages.

    I'd rather my 30 pack of AA VARTA Batteries at Bunnings for $9

    As a relatively big spending consumer, I haven't been in a Harvey Norman store for around 10 years - since I found out what a (highly organised) rip-off they were.

    I bought one of Harvey's first online offers - the socks - they were ABSOLUTE RUBBISH (we've thrown them all out and you won't see anyone from Harvey Norman trying to defend them - unless they have no sense). They were the worst I have ever bought.

    For me Harvey Norman = High Prices in the High Street and Rubbish Online.

      I only use them to browse, pricematch (doesn't work much) and laugh at other people getting ripped off.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Harvey Norman Big Buys on 23/04/2012 - 12:51

      I'll defend them! I'm still wearing socks from the first time I got them. Hit us up through the contact page and I'll make sure we refund you if you can find your order details.

    Hmmm…more landfill.

    recharging batteries is a pain. bought a set of aaa's hate running out and the remote is dead

    • Russ on 20/04/2012 - 13:05

      But rechargeable batteries won't melt down and damage your remote when they go flat…

      Use Eneloops, and when they run flat, swap some good ones out of a different remote control. It will get you by until the flat ones recharge.

      • ca6leguy on 20/04/2012 - 13:08

        Or just buy 2 sets of rechargeables.

  • HCBargain on 20/04/2012 - 10:44

    Much cheaper at Aldi:
    http://www.aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_21583.htm

    50 for $15.

  • PotPlant on 20/04/2012 - 13:55

    I gave you a positive vote (excuse pun) but doesnt that aldi deal (50 batts for $14.99)use different batteries than those in the aldi battery test report?
    The ones in the test are "ultracells" or similar, but the ones in the 50 pack are different I think?

    I kinda hope im wrong, cos those aldi batteries for $14.99 do seem quite a bargain.
