Ok, I wanted to start bulking up on batteries (aaa, aa, c, d) and was trying to really see the difference between the name brands and the no-name brands.

Anyone know of any really difference.

Plus anyone know of a good wholesale place?

Thanks

In my personal experience I never saw any difference between name and no-name brands.

Good place to buy in bulk is Costco

P.S. Welcome to the forum!

Hmmm didn't think of that

LOL....

How about storage? Regular room temp?

Yeah room temp should be okay check expire dates and rotate them accordingly. Also check them regularly for leaking ones and replace those that do.

There was this kid that did a project for school to see how long batteries would last

you can find some reports on the web just do some snooping

but results were that duracell and energizer lasted longer than other name brands and noname brands


I like the Energizer lithium AA and AAA

also I think lithium is best in any type of detector

Litthium batteries have a 10 or 15 year shelf life

Oh, and stay away from any that say Super Heavy duty (zinc)

Kewl...thanks for the advise.

How about storage? Leave them in the regular packaging that they come in?

Why?

Actually batteries are different. For example, the recently arrived on the market lithium batteries (non rechargeable) are fantastic in digital cameras, but their shelf life at high temp is quite short (like in the car trunk).

Take a look at this site: http://support.radioshack.com/support_tutorials/batteries/batgd-c01.htm
IMHO, excellent guide.

Hmm, sorry, I'm wrong about Lithium's shelf life...
