Duracell vs Energizer, Amazon Basics, Procell, Eveready, Varta, Panasonic, Harbor Freight Thunderbolt, Kirkland, Powerowl, Allmax, Bonai, Bevigor, Blinkspower, Ninmax, Tipsun, Enegitech, NRT, and Voniko. Batteries tested for total capacity, performance in subfreezing temperature, and fan run time.

No more damaged electronics from battery leaks! Here are the links to the batteries. There’s more information in the video description. Please let me know if you’d like to see more reviews on batteries and your other video ideas as well. Thank you and best regards, Todd

I had to rewind the video... it's been 6 YEARS? Your testing and dedication is truly second to none Todd!

[dvlop]

6 years in the making of testing batteries. Now that’s dedication.
Well done.👍

YES!! We have stopped using Duracell because of the leaking. We contacted Duracell about it and they just said that we were not maintaining our electronics with the batteries correctly. Thanks for the great testing!!

I have had Duracell AA batteries leak while still in the original package. I really appreciate your videos. I am a Patreon and encourage other people to support you also.

Note that Duracell actually makes the Kirkland batteries, under contract to Costco. But surprisingly, Costco has tighter requirements for their batteries than Duracell themselves.

Quite possibly the most useful channel on YouTube!

Duracel batteries have leaked and destroyed 5 mini mag lights, 4 remote controls, electronic level, volt meter, among many other devices of mine. I will NEVER own anything with Duracel's brand. Started switching to Energizer Lithium and Energizer Max several years ago. No leaking batteries so far... Happy with Energizer.
Thanks for the great battery analysis!

As always, outstanding work. Thanks for staying up-to-date on AA performance!!

Folks don’t forget to give this guy a 👍. I don’t know him but this is arguably one of the most content rich YouTube channels. This is like Consumer Reports live but you get to watch the testing.

Thanks! I had no idea that there were such a number of lithium based batteries. There is one more kind I have. It’s lithium and you can plug it into a USB cable ending in an S terminal. Trouble is, I can’t keep track of what has which battery. You do a great job, and I enjoy your videos every time. I designed tests for semiconductors for lot acceptance 100 years ago. So I always have a soft spot for stuff you can measure consistently.

2.2 Mil views in 11 days for battery testing. Best YT channel!

Glad to see you also employ Eneloops. I've been using these in AA and AAA forms everywhere I can and have really come to appreciate them. Wish they were part of the big test though, but since they're expensive I can see why!

You get what you pay for. Eneloops and a good charger are worth their weight in gold imo.

[chrismack]

I like that you are going back and doing reviews of stuff you've done in the past! I think it helps demonstrate whether a company cares or not because if they do, then their products should be improving over time. Keep up the good work my friend.

Hands down my favorite content creator on Youtube. The man delivers information that is precise and to the point, without loads of useless drivel that I've come to expect of other channels. Great information, but even better delivery.

I switched to Energizer Lithium in all of my AA, AAA & 9V devices a few years ago. I got sick of having things destroyed by leakage. Duracell was by far the worst, Energizer was second, and Amazon Basics was a distant third. I've never seen a lithium battery leak anything. Thanks for the comprehensive testing!

[PocketBrain]

Best review of this type i have ever seen. Covers numerous brands, chemistries, usage cases. Comprehensive, fast-firing but still easy to follow.
You have earned my follow.

[jjaimes]

" Unfortunately were not gonna test that!" Been here for while this made me chuckle

[michaell]

I switched from Duracell to Energizer years ago because I had multiple instances of Duracells leaking, even brand new cells still in the package, well before expo date. Haven’t had any leakage issues with Energizer Max. Awesome video man, this channel is doing excellent work for the consumer!

[murdockscott]

I invested in Eneloop batteries many years back and they served me well in battery packs for flash photography. I could not find deals on them at one point and started switching to the LADDA batteries and have been very happy with those since. Glad to see that my choices have held up in this testing. I can’t even imagine how much money I have saved using rechargeables.
