It's time for me to buy some batteries again. Tried Eveready Heavy Duty previously, AA and AAA and they don't seem to last very long. Currently on GP Supercell and it seems to be better. Has anyone compared all Eveready, GP Supercell, Maxell and Toshiba batteries size AA and AAA? Which one do you feel is best in terms of performance?

The weird thing is the price of Heavy Duty and Super Heavy Duty with Maxell batteries is the same. I would expect Super Heavy Duty to be more expensive than Heavy Duty but it's the same price.

It has been quite some time since I used rechargeable batteries, must be more than 20 years ago. Perhaps technology has improved as previously the rechargeable batteries work well for a certain period before they lose their efficiency and don't work anymore ie. don't charge properly or after charging the batteries don't last long. If the quality of rechargeable batteries (and charger) has improved I might try it but these days disposable batteries are cheap so I tend to favour them more, and it's just the choice of which one to select as there are few brands.

Will keep the rechargeable battery recommendation in mind though.

The batteries that don't last long in the devices that I use are remote control for amplifier, cordless mouse and hair trimmer. It's basically these 3 devices only. Any advice what type of batteries to use with these devices?

All other devices such as air-cond remote control, wall clocks, I use cheap AA and AAA batteries Heavy Duty or Super Heavy Duty and they last very long, usually more than 1 year. It's just the 3 devices above where the batteries don't last very long. Maybe up to 2 to 3 months only .

Yes, usage as described in my post above. It may be true the brand of batteries may not matter much, though still need to pick one and I thought some might be better than others.

Thanks for all responses, good information.

Yes, I am aware of that. It will happen to most remote controls which are not used for a long time but the batteries are still inside the slot. If the device (remote control) is frequently used, corrosion at the terminals which may lead to the device not functioning, it likely won't happen ie. leakage to the internal circuit boards of the device leading to damage.

Just checked the prices of Eveready Gold and Panasonic Evolta on Shopee. I'm not sure if there are fakes for Eveready Gold as the prices vary a lot between sellers. The weird thing is the sellers are not in Klang Valley but in Ipoh. Not many sellers for this Eveready Gold who are in KL or Selangor.

Eveready Gold (8 pcs) - RM15.89
Eveready Gold (8 pcs) from other seller - RM22.50

As for Panasonic Evolta, the seller is Panasonic official store so it is likely genuine.

Panasonic Evolta (8 pcs) - RM29.35

Toshiba Heavy Duty batteries, 40 pcs only cost RM25.90.

Compared to Panasonic Evolta, 8 pcs cost RM30.90 (29.35 after discount).

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.
