Old eneloops were good. Mine lasted 10+ years.

Nowadays, I think Ladda (Ikea) are good. AAs rated at 2450mAh tested at 2900+.

EBL are decent, but need to discount 300mAh (eg. 2800mAh tested at 2500mAh). Also, they don't hold their charge as long as the older Eneloops, but I think neither do the Laddas.

Newer Eneloops don't seem to be as good as the older ones either.

For remote controller, if disposables buy the anti leak like Panasonic. I dun use Duracell or Energizer because expensive and leak if not used for long time.

If rechargeable, buy Ikea Ladda for general use and Enerloop or Fujitsu for anything else. Rechargeable also have normal drain and high drain models. The normal drain can last 3000 cycles while the high drain can last 500 cycles. So buy to match your usage.

I prefer Enerloop or Fujitsu because can retain charge at 70% even after 3 years of non use.

Bought Panasonic Evolta to try out on my remote.

I am still testing the batteries on my amp remote as it seems fussy. Even with new batteries, with Eveready Heavy Duty cheap batteries, it will work for 1 minute, then later it won't work anymore and I need to remove the batteries from the slot and insert them back in, and it will work again. Then after 1-2 minutes the remote will stop working again. This is new batteries. Currently with GP Supercell it's working so far. IF it stops working again I'll get the Panasonic Evolta alkaline batteries in, but I need to receive the package first, ordered yesterday still in shipment.

Some remotes are fussy, need higher voltage. Most rechargeable the voltage is lower so can cause problems.

1.5V vs 1.2V

could consider lithium 1.5v rechargeable battery. it will be more expensive and capacity might be lower than nimh battery. voltage drop only happen when the battery is out of charge.

personally i wont recommend this as there is low possibility of short curcuit that could cause output voltage to be 3.7v (follow its original internal voltage) instead.
