IKEA stopped selling batteries beginning of this year. Wasted. Damn good batteries for cheap.

not so simple, rechargeable 1.2v only, non-rechargeable 1.5v, some device that sensitive to voltage will assume you low on power and cant operate normally, ie my old sony camera, the flash will take like 2-3 seconds to charge if use 1.5v alkaline batteries, but if use the expensive eneloop batteries, will take at least double the charging time, sometimes even triple.

or some remote control the brightness of the display(black text), almost cant visible when voltage low.

i hope those eneloop do have 1.5v version.

For the past year or so, I've noticed that Eveready batteries don't last as long as they used to.

Anyone else has the same experience?

yes

Battery life reduces at higher temperatures

Even though battery capacity at high temperatures is higher, battery life is shortened. Battery capacity is reduced by 50% at -22 degrees F – but battery LIFE increases by about 60%. Battery life is reduced at higher temperaturesfor every 15 degrees F over 77, battery life is cut in half.

I only use two brands
Duracell and Energizer

I never use cheaper ones especially those non branded ones. Leaking and then fuck up your device.

Now, there is an issue with rechargeable batteries.

Non-rechargeable batteries are 1.5 volt.

Re-chargeable batteries are 1.2 volt.

Not all devices can run on rechargeable batteries.

eveready is carbon zinc battery, if u use it on high powered devices like flashlights, then it will wear very very fast, use alkaline batteries instead, and they are not expensive, you dont have to use energizer alkaline batteries, there are many cheap alkaline batteries sold in MR DIY, daiso, etc
