These Duracell are technically better, IF they were made in Japan. These appear to be made in China according to picture on website. I would therefore pass and get the Energizers instead or IKEA Laddas, albeit Laddas are bit bulkier and may not fit well in slots that are in the tube shape of a AA.

Project Farm did a fantastic video on rechargeable batteries using several tests: resistance, discharge rates, etc.

Basically all Chinese brands performed the worst and the Japanese ones did the best. While the Duracell tested was 2450 and these are 2500 in OP posted, they should be regarded as virtually the same. Duracell's 2450 and IKEA's Ladda 2450 did the best in about all the tests. Fantastic batteries.

Given the IKEA and Duracell are so close in performance, the Duracell is a much better buy (if they were made in Japan) at $1.67/battery vs. IKEA Laddas at $2.25/battery.

As for the Energizer, they are $1.25/battery right now and 2300 rating. The ones tested were 2000 mAh. While they didn't come out on top like previous two, they were near the top ahead of Amazon black and silver rechargeables in some tests. Overall scores, they placed 5th behind Duracell 2450 (1.7), IKEA Ladda 2450 (2.0), Black Amazon Basics 1900 (4.0), Eneloop 1900 (4.3), and Energizer 2000 (5.0).

The fact they are 5th, I'd grab Duracells (if they were made in Japan) given the $1.67 cost just a little more than the $1.25 of Energizer, but should watch the video for your specific needs as Energizer was pretty impressive in couple of the tests.

That video is 3 years old. A lot can happen with batteries in that time.
These state made in China on the package, and state only good for "up to 400 charges" which is actually kinda low. Most do 600-1000 that I see from reputable brands.

I'll stick with the Japanese made cells for now...

I went to Costco to get some CR2032 and found the B&M has raised the price to $13.99 before $2 discount. I ordered it online instead for $9.99 shipped.

Aren't these rechargeables a bit on the crappy side or has something changed? Believe these used to be good years ago (the white top ones) but they're no longer made in Japan. Does Ikea still have decent made in Japan high mAh rechargeables or did they get rid of those too? Thought I remember a thread a while back where they were on clearence.

Bought Energizer batteries from Costco last week; these are made in Japan. Any thoughts on these vs Duracell ones (assuming the difference in number of batteries doesn't matter)?

Fail…

The one I linked to is 2 yrs old and his first is 3 yrs old. And yes a lot can change with a battery, which is why he did that on purpose to show how batteries hold up over time. Maybe trying watching first? I don't buy argument that Japanese made batteries would get worse on the whole or that Duracell or IKEA Ladda would be all of a sudden a crap battery, but if you're that skeptical maybe buy the Chinese ones?
