| 1453446 | 2018-09-10 03:48:00 | Which are the best AA Alkaline batteries to buy in bulk. Plenty to choose from but which to purchase.? | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1453447 | 2018-09-10 03:58:00 | Best ? Opinion :-) I like the Varta From Bunnings. They do the job, they dont leak Bulk for me being a pack of 20. brands can vary in quality from year to year as they switch to other/cheaper manufacturers to stick their label on. eg Enerloop are now a totally different brand to when they established their reputation many years back. Now just a label . |

| 1453448 | 2018-09-10 04:44:00 | Thanks. I will have a look for the Varta batteries. Interesting to hear about Enerloop as i always thought they were a top brand. It's hard to keep up with these changes. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1453449 | 2018-09-10 04:57:00 | My vote is for Varta :) Eneloop are rechargeable batteries and are ideal for digital flash. |

| 1453450 | 2018-09-10 05:04:00 | Eneloop are still good, started out Sanyo and were bought by Panansonic. I'd recommend them over alkaline for most applications myself. Only takes a few charges to work out cheaper and they last a similar amount of time in general. I use a lot of AAA batteries and a reasonable amount of AA batteries and almost always use NiMH, all have lasted me several years so far but I have had a couple give trouble after that time. As for alkaline, most reviews I've read suggest there is not that much variation between brands. The last 20 pack I bought from bunnings are some silver coloured el cheapos and they haven't given me any trouble. Down to my last few now and it's been years. |

| 1453451 | 2018-09-10 07:15:00 | For disposable, I'm a fan of Varta. Haven't used rechargeables in so long, but I'd think any good brand of rechargable lithium ones would be the best. |
