I bought the Voniko brand previously but am not happy with it. they don't seem to last as long as the name brands like Duracell.
There's actually a reason for this. It's because the ambient temperature tends to dip at night. Battery voltage is affected by temperature (through its internal resistance). Ri seems to rise with lower temperature, resulting in less applied voltage to the circuit.
So when your battery is wearing out and near the trip limit for the low voltage warning, the low temperature at night can push it below it and you get rudely awakened due to... science!
that's odd, voniko was very high rated by the project farm youtube channel, and he is the ultimate tester. btw, $7.37 is the average camelcamel price on this. not really slick, imo.

I tried this brand for the first time 8 months ago when I needed some 9V ones for my smoke detectors. They've been great for the price and are still going. If they last a year I'll consider them equal in capacity to the premium brands for that application, or at least plenty good enough.
Edit: Why do smoke detectors always seem to decide to start the low battery chirp at 3 in the morning?

I was skeptical, but then you mentioned Project Farm.
"But it strikes at the point - much of his "testing" doesn't produce worthwhile results. When it comes to oil, what he tests is often irrelevant, and pointless, leading to misinformation and specious results."
There's a lot of hate in that forum. There are some specific issues w/ Project Farm's methodology, but you'll be hard pressed to find any type of trustworthy objective testing on consumer products from any other source. I would hardly call his results misinformation, Google "best anything" on google and you'll find misinformation on in 99.99% of search results. Project Farm shows live testing of products using methodology that is accessible to someone testing in a domestic workshop, not a lab. People criticizing the load to failure testing, but he provides a lot of meaningful tests as well such as manufacturing tolerances and product dimensions. What else are we supposed to base purchasing decisions off of? Anecdotal forum posts and Amazon reviews?
One can argue bobtheoilguy's presentation of viscosity data is equally meaningless. What's the point of that data when the optimal viscosity is so dependent on application? Yet there are multiple pages dedicated to that topic. Considering the current state of the internet, we don't really have the luxury of disregarding Project Farm's testing. You take objective reviews where you can get them, how much you place your purchasing decision on them is up to you, though.
These battery are garbage. They leaked after a few week even the package was unpack. It was stored in door room temperature in the closet room. Even it is $6 i rather use it on somewhere else instead of wasting it. Leave a mess to clean if you don't realize it early.
Depends on usage, If you are hiking in the middle of nowhere, you are not carrying extra weight. If you are using them at home, rechargeables are always the better choice in the long run. I have rechargeables going on for almost 20 years.
Disposable batteries are good for office use, kids, and for things you don't care about if they leak into them. The only time I'm buying disposable batteries is for gifts that run on batteries.
Alkaline is better for things that you dont use a lot. Rechargeable has a self-discharge rate of about 1% per day depending on the chemistry but Alkaline keeps the charge for some years.
edit: I should have said rechargeable Ni-MH; li-ion keeps a charge a long time.
It's probably why I seem to look at the clock when it says "12:34". I probably don't look at it any more than any other time, but notice it when I do. Nighttime chirps are more noticeable! Also I really think my chirps go off mostly in the daytime, because I remember dealing with it right away. The night chirp might get the ear pillow treatment.

Most modern NiMH are low self-discharge and will hold a charge for years. It's also generally better on ones that are not high capacity.

Nope, don't leave batteries in devices for a long time. It will leak. If you don't change it often, you are going to ruin the electronic contacts. If you do replace often, then you are better off with rechargeables.
I have walkmans that have corroded contacts because i don't use it often.
I have a maglite with the end cap fused because the batteries leaked and fused the metal together.
If you never had a battery leak, you must be one lucky person.
Search leak in the reviews and see that all alkalines leak, even the leakproof ones leak.

Going on 2 years on mine.

For those who would say use rechargeable I absolutely do but the 1.5/1.2V difference is enough for a handful of devices I have.
