Does anyone give or receive a holiday gift marked "battery not included? We thought so.
We tested 15 AA batteries.
Types commonly used for digital cameras, flashlights, toys, radios and remote controls-
Differences were found in performance and cost. (
Please note that the battery is not rechargeable.
In the past test, we found 2,000 mA recharged-
Usually it is best to have a few hours or more
Used equipment such as game controllers. )
In general, the lithium batteries tested perform better than alkaline batteries, especially in cameras that tend to run out of charge easily and quickly.
But the cost of alkali is much lower, and the performance of some alkali is almost as good as that of low alkali stone mines.
Drainage equipment such as flashlight and remote control.
In the camera test we simulate daily use (
Zoom, Flash, shoot and rest until the battery is dead), a top-
Lithium battery rated power 609 investment;
The best alkali, a durian, 76 photos; and the lowest-
Rated alkaline, only 49 needles.
Our flashlight test is equivalent to turning the flashlight on for 4 minutes per hour for 8 hours, keeping it 16 hours and repeating the cycle until the battery dies.
Battery life is 7.
3 hours of energy, 6.
Duracell 8 hours, Toy "R" Us battery 4 hours.
Lithium for $5.
Each pair of 50 people is a clear winner.
In alkaline batteries, there are two durian and bought a Kirkland battery for less money (in a 48-pack)
Worth considering.
Once the battery is dead, alkaline batteries and lithium batteries can generally be thrown into the trash can.
