If your home or office consumes a lot of batteries, then buying in bulk can save you a lot of money. This pack of 100 batteries is supplied in a hard plastic case so you always know where to find fresh batteries. The alkaline battery type is great to use on everyday household appliances such as remote controls, torches, toys, cameras, and more! 100% mercury and cadmium free.
I found these worse than Amazon batteries

(Eclipse better than average mWh per $ at retail price - AT HALF PRICE they probably top the chart)!!
Obligatory comparison to ENELOOPS for OZB: https://archive.goughlui.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/GABT…
Thanks for this info 7eke.
All these data are evidently almost 10 years old though, so no doubt outdated (I assume at least some of the batteries have changed since then). It's also a shame that the last graph contains so much colour overlap that it is impossible to be sure which lines represent which batteries, in most cases.
I suppose the 'take home message' though, is that these 'Eclipse' batteries are a pretty decent option for 20 cents a pop. Even if you have to store 100 of them. I like that they come in a plastic storage box. I can repopulate that box with Eneloops, as I churn through the alkalines …
These are all I buy. Especially for the kids toys. Would recommend for the price.
OK, thanks for the info.
Do what you gotta do, but worth considering rechargeable batteries if they work for you.
Worthy note that standard batteries are 1.5V, rechargeable batteries are 1.2V, so they sometimes cannot power certain devices.
Is there a reason why they don't make rechargeable batteries 1.5V?
I have no idea … but I guess it must have something to do with the recharging process becoming either unviable, or unsafe … maybe a 1.5V lithium rechargeable would get dangerously hot while recharging? Or so hot that it would 'destroy itself' after just a few recharges?
(I am just guessing, I hope an expert can enlighten us …)
Battery chemistry is different. NiMH has a nominal voltage of 1.2V, alkaline batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5V. Li-ion is 3.7V for example, but actually reaches 4.2V at max charge.
Whilst these are just nominal voltages, the voltage as mentioned with the Li-ion example, changes depending on the charge state.
You can look up 'voltage curve' for the different battery types if you're curious.
They're not very common but you can buy 1.5v rechargable batteries. I had to buy some for my VR controllers.
Tenavolts is a good brand

They do, specialized Lithium-Ion are 1.5V!
Considering Duracell scored 70%, 64% for these cheap ones isnt too bad
Thanks OP got one for my kids toy. And Jaycar is located in 10mins walk :)
Does anyone know if these are decent batteries? For example, how they stack up against standard 'Eveready', 'Duracel', re longevity of chargeetc.? Prone to leaking after a couple of years, or very robustly made? That sort of thing …
