  • Ladda!

      • It's actually the other way around. Electronics work poorly with alkaline batteries because the voltage drops when they near depletion.

    Lot of comments from last deals saying these drain quickly .

    • Yeah, I got a pack but they're not great

      • That's disappointing, the whole point of these (and Amazon Basics) was to be slightly worse but considerably cheaper. My impression of these is that they have always been decent, if the quality has dropped though then they will be hard to recommend.

        Has anyone bought these recently and have been happy with them?

        • Come to think of it, I went through the last batch of Amazon Basic batteries pretty quickly compared to the energizer ones. So perhaps these aren't that great.

          • @Lizard Spock: Got mine in Nov last year but they just don't seem to last. My son has one of those bath toys that swims around and the Amazon ones don't last long at all but throw an energizer one in, and it's still going strong and easily outlasting the Amazon ones.

            First time I had bought Amazon ones due to the price I guess but so far, the energizer are worth the extra.

        • wonder how they compare to Bunnings Varta.

          • @Commodore64: Reading through forum posts about Varta alkaline, they seem to be more prone to leaking (possibly moreso now that the ones at Bunnings seem to be made in China rather than Germany)

    • I have the same experience. Thought they may be slightly worse than the good ones but much cheaper. Expected better from Amazon. Bought in bulk but total waste really. Feels even worse seeing the batteries go flat so quickly. Better to spend a bit more and get something better sometimes.

  • Anko all the way

    • Care to elaborate?

      • The Anko brand AA/AAA alkaline batteries available at Kmart are cheap and nice enough.

    These are good for kids toys - the kind that you load batteries into on Christmas morning, and are then forgotten or broken by February. I wouldn't recommend for anything that you need longevity for though.

  • Disposal battery start with 1.5v, but the voltage decrease at much faster rate. Most of the time, rechargeable battery 1.2v is fine, cheaper in long term and better for environment. http://www.stefanv.com/electronics/using_nimh/nimh_vs_alkali…

  • What AA would people recommend for items that don't use much power and don't want to change batteries all the time e.g. clocks and TV remote controls? Don't want to be replacing/recharging batteries every 3 months..
    In terms of rechargables, maybe Nicad is still the way to go?
