It’s just a provocation from Energizer, but it’s real!

    I stopped trusting Enigizer and Duracell when they started marketing shit quality batteries just so they could call their normal ones their “Premium” batteries or whatever, and bump the prices up.

    Horrible business practice and truly devastating for the environment.

    Fuck them both, don’t give them a penny of your money

        Ansmann make high quality rechargeable, low self discharge batteries that last a decade in my experience. Worth the extra money

        Edit - I should add - Do not buy these from Amazon! They’re one if the best brands you can get, so there’s a good reason they’re half the price there. I got some 2850mah AAs and they lasted one day in a soap dispenser. Fake shite

        Not OP, but my advice: buy rechargeable. IKEA and Kirkland batteries are excellent in my experience.

          IKEA Batteries are (were?) Panasonic Eneloop rebranded. They are considered among the best rechargeable batteries

            I still have some AA Eneloops from 13 or 14 years ago. They cost more, but well worth it.
