Very good price for these. Time to stock up.

These do not leak unlike Alkaline cells. I have had too many devices ruined due to leaky Alkalines (Duracell & Energizer) and have banned them from my household.

These are ideal for infrequently used devices. They will maintain their charge for years without leaking. For other uses I use Eneloop rechargeables.

    Agree about the leaking.
    My go to alkalines were Vartas from Bunnings - they were made in Germany and never leaked once for me but they recently switched production offshore and now they leak like sieves, so they are over.
    I found Engerizer Max Plus to be good with no leaks so far but they are not that cheap.

      They switched back to Germany a while back.

        I just noticed they switched back to China after switching back to Germany for a while. Probably still too early to tell if they leak though.

    Sorry, dumb question here. Wouldn't it be better to spend extra on Eneloops instead?

    • Windows98 on 05/04/2025 - 16:15
      +2

      Eneloops while great for many things, only output 1.2v. which is fine for most things but there are devices that require high voltage to function. Flashes, sensors etc.

      So regular alkaline batteries are needed at minimum for the 1.5v but they tend to degrade fast even when not in use and prone to leaking and damaging the device's electronics.

      These lithium ones are great because they both have the high 1.5v and don't degrade over time as quickly (25 years apparently).

      • SeanConnery on 05/04/2025 - 17:00
        +3

        Thank you for that. Do we know anyone that's opened any packs from the year 2000 recently to test if the 25 year thing is genuine?

        • wifiwooper on 06/04/2025 - 01:50

        I use the XTAR New 1.5V 4150mWh Rechargeable AA Lithium for this use case.
        My front door would say battery low after a month on the eneloops due to dropping bellow 1.2v.

        Now i get 6+ months and just recharge when it says battery low.

        The xtar l8 charge works on on both eneloop/ ladda and the xtar lithium.

        • Windows98 on 05/04/2025 - 18:47

          That's interesting. I will have to look into that thanks.

          Just wondering, do you know how how they go with long term storage and capacity drop? I know the lithiums are recommended for something like the nest protects that sit for about 3 years requiring 1.5v

          But these would be great for other things like camera flashes etc.

          • eug on 05/04/2025 - 19:07
            +2

            @Windows98: Those rechargable lithium AAs aren't great for low-drain devices as there is an active buck circuit in the cell that drops the voltage of the internal 3.6V cell to 1.5V.

            You can get 3.2V LFP AA cells which you can use alongside dummy AA cells for longer standby time (no buck circuitry) but for a critical device like a smoke alarm I would just get primary lithium AAs like the one in this deal.

            But these would be great for other things like camera flashes etc.

            It actually won't work with powerful camera flashes as the current draw is too high. The buck circuit will cut out at 2-2.5A while e.g. a Nikon SB800 flash will pull 5-7A. NiMH would be the best choice.

    I can honestly say I've never had an Alkaline AA or AAA cell leak on me in my entire lifetime. What are you doing with / what conditions are these batteries for you people who're complaining about leaky batteries?

    • eug on 05/04/2025 - 17:10

      Simply sitting in a remote control in a drawer.

      I've also had some unused alkalines leak in the pack sitting in a drawer.

      • Grazz989 on 05/04/2025 - 17:14
        -2

        For how long did they sit there? A decade, longer?

        Were they undergoing heat cycles? Salty sea air? … I've lived in lots of places and used dozens of brands of cells for all sorts of purposes, and it just hasn't happened. And okay, if they leak - How much liquid to they leak out? Does it badly damage plastic? Does it corrode the terminals that badly that it breaks them? Surely a cleanout of something like a remote solves the problem entirely …

        • eug on 05/04/2025 - 17:31

          For how long did they sit there? A decade, longer?

          About a year. Probably less. They hadn't even expired yet.

          Were they undergoing heat cycles?

          Just the standard 4 seasons of the year inside an Ikea drawer here in Brisbane.

          Salty sea air?

          The sea is far away from me.

          I've lived in lots of places and used dozens of brands of cells for all sorts of purposes, and it just hasn't happened.

          Well… I've driven lots of cars and haven't been in an accident, but that doesn't mean accidents don't happen. :)

          And okay, if they leak - How much liquid to they leak out? Does it badly damage plastic? Does it corrode the terminals that badly that it breaks them?

          Depends on how long you leave them for. And your luck. And probably the phase of the moon that night.

          Surely a cleanout of something like a remote solves the problem entirely …

          Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

          Here's an example. You can see how much leaked out and the damage it does to plastic and the PCB. Do read the comments too.

          Just google 'alkaline battery leak' and you'll find a lot of examples.

            Well yes of course, but the way people talk about leaky batteries makes it sound like it's a very common event, and yet if it's half as common as that, then I would've almost certainly had one leak on me by now. So either it's a miracle, or they don't actually leak that often.

            I'm sure there are loads of google hits for it, I'm not saying it never happens, but just that the number of hits or frequency of discussion isn't a good measure for objectively how often it happens …

            • eug on 05/04/2025 - 18:55

              @Grazz989:

              So either it's a miracle, or they don't actually leak that often.

              Going back to the car accident example, I've driven lots of cars but not a lot of mileage. If I drove a lot more, the likelihood of getting into an accident would increase.

              Perhaps you just don't use a lot of alkalines. Someone who uses a lot of them would be more likely to come across a leaky set than someone who doesn't use many. The way you use them or the equipment you use them in can be a factor too.

              Alkaline AAs are commonly used (less these days) in professional audio equipment like wireless mics and IEM packs. Leaky alkalines are very uncommon in those settings because they get used and disposed of before they get a chance to leak. But in other scenarios like that multimeter example in the youtube video I linked earlier, the cells can sit in a device for years as the power consumption is so low, so there's a greater chance for a leak to occur.

              So someone who only uses them in wireless mics would think they never leak, while someone who uses them in multimeters and similar devices will think they leak too often.

              I gradually switched to NiMH over a long period of time. I use far fewer alkalines now so not surprisingly I rarely see a leaky alkaline - because I don't buy many of them now.

              If I switched back to alkalines for everything I would expect to see more leakage events.

              • Grazz989 on 06/04/2025 - 02:17

                @eug: Fair, but just about everyone has a couple AA/AAA's in remotes and other long lasting use cases. I've replaced hundreds of batteries in slow drain devices since I was a young child, not to mention dead or fresh cells lying around, rattling in draws and such. Not a single leak … Even assuming I'm just very lucky, I'd struggle to believe that even 1% of alkaline batteries leak, and that's even the crap cheap brands.

                Still, I hope I haven't jinxed myself now. I recently purchased a 20-something pack of Energizer Max Plus (WTF is the difference between those and regular Max?) cells at a cost I consider mediocre even after the half-price discount, and if it leaks inside my nice new wireless mouse, I'll be pissed.

                  @Grazz989: Where do you live? Maybe it's temperature/humidity related. I live in Qld too and just about everything I leave with a battery in it ends up with corrosion at the terminals from leaking. You can clean sometimes but about half the time too damaged and end up throwing out.

                • eug on 06/04/2025 - 17:42

                  @Grazz989: You must be really lucky, you should buy lotto today! :)

                  Just last year I bought a pack of Varta AAAs from SuperCheap Auto to use up some credit. A few months later I saw they leaked in the pack, unopened. They're kept in the same room/drawer as other unused alkalines and those haven't leaked, including 2x D cells with a 2013 expiry date. I also have a box of Varta 9V alkalines that expired Dec 2024 which haven't leaked.

                  A month and a half ago I bought a used multimeter. Of course this was in the battery compartment.

                  I recently purchased a 20-something pack of Energizer Max Plus (WTF is the difference between those and regular Max?)

                  I find the price difference between cheaper brands like Varta and expensive brands like Energizer or Duracell isn't worth the difference in capacity. The marketing is very vague too - who knows what the difference is. You'd have to look for the data sheet and look at the discharge curves. They probably just hope people think "expensive = much better".

    • King Tightarse on 05/04/2025 - 17:34

      The Duracells that came with my keyboard leaked before they ran out.
      Happened a few more times with Duracells and other gadgets before I gave up on them as a brand - they were my old 'trusted' choice.
      Once the electrolyte sits in contact with any exposed metals, things are usually never the same. (rusts, PCB coatings affected etc)

    Duracell were a reputable brand once upon a time, but they've earned their new name of Duraleak over the past decade or so (or longer even). No way would I consider using Duracell ever again.

  • ReaperX22 on 05/04/2025 - 19:51

    Took well over a year and a half for one of these to run out in my G305. I'm one battery 2 of 4. Between this and 2 g305s I bought during sales, I never worry about battery or not having a working mouse. So far first G305 no double click issues yet that can't be resolved by just blowing it out.

    They're a little lighter than alkaline so more like 90g vs the default 99. I didn't bother with the whole AA to AAA adapter thing for even more weight reduction.

  • basicerno on 05/04/2025 - 20:12

    I use these in my Yale door lock and it is our main garage backdoor which is opened all the time. I had to change these out once in 2yrs, I tried normal batteries and they lasted 6 months. I just changed back to these and expect another 2yrs!

    • xmagic on 05/04/2025 - 21:37

      Same Yale door lock owner. My Duracell is out in less two months (probably I had high refresh rate on Home assistant). Currently on Eneloop and just ignoring low battery warnings (in reality it worked OK-ish). Interestingly enough Yale seems really doesn't want people to use NiMH or high-power batteries according to their website: https://www.yalehome.com/nz/en/support/product-support/smart…

      I had some Energizer MAX from Costco from previous offer and I want to try how they would last.

      N.B. The Yale plugin in Home Assistant really eating through batteries like crazy likely from the persistent Bluetooth connections.
