The Costco Kirkland batteries are repackaged Duracell.
GuW69
I use batteries in high drain stuff (radio transmitters) and that's the real test, all noname batteries ar crap, this is under light load
Tombaugh
of course the biggest battery lasts the longest
jadejong
OP is a marketing rep for Costco?
Jbaryla
Of course Duracell won, look at the size of that AA battery
jridley
Screw alkalines, use NiMH. One YouTuber recently found that Ikea's NiMH for $6.99 are almost certainly rebadged Eneloop Pro which are $15-20
VanDerGroot
IKEAs batteries are great. :)
killernat
i would like a more consistent test with different current ie a constant current at 100ma 250ma 500ma and 1A and a specified cutoff voltage
kctothemax
Well duh, obviously the longer batteries are gonna have more juice in them. It just makes it harder to fit them in stuff.
BklynPunisher
Except your mom.
LurkingAtMidnight
fun fact, Kirkland batteries are made by Duracell, just branded for costco. same thing with their wine, super good stuff, cheaper label
hammersquirrel
Duracell wine? What a country!
LurkingAtMidnight
hahaha, womp womp
WhatSmellsLikeFish
Duracell makes Costco's Private Label (Kirkland) batteries as a condition for distribution of their branded Duracell batteries.

Are there special batteries that won't leak after several years?
HRinappropriate
Most have a 10 year shelf life. Lithium will hold a charge and wont leak for an extremely long time.
ErgonomicZero
Check out Eneloop Pro—largest capacity and long lasting rechargeable
Seethreepeeoh
It world be good to see cost as a KPI
Megaseedsmuggler
It's because they are bigger.. fake news

Walgreens brand is made by Duracell so I'm not buying this

Where's the sams club brand fall in this list?

That’s what I read first too.
rainbowpwny
of course the're gonna last longer they are bigger
GrootGear
Damn Costco FTW!
GetCurious
I'd rather see them timed in the same circuit with identical contact surface area than "identical" devices, but don't refute the results.

I'm impressed.
likehelly
Eneloops lasting so long they ain't even in the graph
nj23dublin
The rechargeable lithium AA are pretty handy and worth it, they last forever and give true 1.5V.. but a little pricey and disposal is a pain
LucidPariah
Futureshop/bestbuy usually has battery recycling boxs
OtterlyMagnificent
I've never had to recycle my Lipo rechargeables.
krytenofsmeg
I call bullshit. Tests a while ago proved bigger brands were shite.
Wankathon
I dunno duracell seem pretty good
HeavenOrHellLetsRock
Its literally a measurable amount of energy stored. In fact, in the EU the amount of energy has to be printed on the box
Rhysssss
Tests by me as a 10 year old kid with a Gameboy say you're wrong.. Duracells lasted sooo many hours longer than Energizer and Eveready.
Rhysssss
Duracell would last the entire day playing. Eveready would die within 3 hours.
Jakersbakers
Same duracell is def better than other brands
AelitaS
Generic OEM batteries like Bexel will not fucking die and it's amazing.
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
And I remember tests showing that there is barely any difference between the big name brands and cheap generic ones.
BernieKl
All of the store brands are made by either Duracell, Energizer, or Rayovac - they sell their factory seconds to other labels.
BWood63
WHAT! You mean it’s neither of the extremes and likely some grey area in the middle? Ludicrous!
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Anecdotal, but personal experience says otherwise. If a cheap brand lasts 2 weeks in my mouse, that's a long time for them. Big name brands
NotMyUsualOnlineName
last at least 6 weeks.
PutThePRNDLinD
True, but usage counts. Kirkland's don't last as well in electronics as you'd think; I'm thinking it is because they produce a lower voltage
jridley
If true it's not because of lower voltage. Voltage is a factor of the chemistry and can't be changed.
drummerman109
according to my high school science project, in high drain devices, that graph becomes pretty flat across all of them
FeralBiohazard
They all last a very short period of time if you leave them in sex toys.
SephiRothIRA
Don’t you talk shit about my favorite pizza and hot dog soda combo manufacturer!
astrangehop
Also, Depending on what store you're at, the best bet is the cheap ones because of high turnover.
storebrandproductmascot
The Kirlands are rebranded Duracells...
LustyNarwhal
In what non-electronic object would one use a battery?
PutThePRNDLinD
As in the chart, a flashlight. They don't specify there, but an incandescent bulb will glow until there isn't enough current to warm it up.
GerberLegalTeam
Depends on what you call electronic.
Cole2999
Something that runs on electricity, which batteries deliver
MetaSomma
Electronic vs electric, there's actually a big difference
ftsdoc
How many of each brand was tested what is the std. dev. Need more info on the test
NothingButGoodVibes
"Hur dur look at me I think I'm smart so I'm going to make a comment that suggests there are other criteria to the testing" dumb ass
WillCorrectInaccuraciesForFood
So much for good vibes...
RUCthaeh
Also date of manufacture and temp etc.
CluelessAmerican
How are you gonna get the temp of the factorys?
spaghettiThunderbolt
Probably a thermometer.
ducksinarow
WAS THE TEST STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT?!
MetaSomma
It was based on animal models we now know to be flawed and hasn't been reproduced since
BernieKl
There are only 3 main battery manufacturers - Duracell, Energizer, and Rayovac. Factory seconds are relabled and sold as store brands.
BernieKl
You can see that in the chart - first 3 are made by Duracell, the next set by Energizer, the last 2 by Rayovac.
Thondorous
I need to know if Duracell is alkaline's father......
tardis63
Only one of each tested, and each in a different "identical" flashlight. Should test uniformity with the same battery in each flashlight.
Turivin
As a math professor, it warms my heart to see that Imgur is so full of statistically literature users <3

Haha, thanks autocorrect. Yes, I meant "literate." Hey, I teach math, not English.

Merovean
Don't go looking for science and facts, in this era we're only concerned about "feelings" and whether or not it supports a "belief".
Reesiepup
And were the batteries licked before each test as well?
flassk
also where are the 2800mAh eneloops
serenityfast
Not only that but just because it's the same model flashlight doesn't mean the bulbs/LEDs have exactly the same power consumption.
Sakabashira
I've had dead Duracell battery fresh out of the pack. Increasingly over the years.
Hardalor
Looks like a very bad test. Seems to be on battery of each, no other factors listed... Added to flashlight, turned on.
tats10bucksUOme
Absolutely and also where do you even buy these super long batteries, and what do they even fit into ? So many questions
BardicLasher
I know exactly what they'd fit into.
Anastasionite
how big are they even we need a banana for scale
StrictlyBull
"excuse me i'd like to buy some AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA batteries"
mcsnurgleflurp
The more A's the smaller it would be so...
NatsukiIsMyWaifu
ThePole
The more AA the smaller the battery though
MothMonsterMan
So A^-12?
StrictlyBull
so what you're saying is... I should buy the panasonic batteries then.

They put them in a fleshlight. Says it in the title.
