Default Cheap alternative to Duracell AA batteries

We've been using 7day shop rechargeable AA's in Braun Oral B
toothbrushes. There are 2 probs with the 7Dayers :-

1. They are slightly overlong (maybe half mm) and require a lot of
force to close the snap-shut cap. Is this typical of rechargeables or
is it a prob only with 7Day shop batteries? Have cracked cap one one
Braun already.

2. They don't last very long - maybe 2 weeks. They can last 12 months
in a wall clock but struggle with high drain stuff.
The perfect answer is Duracell but these are not cheap. I've tried
Googling for an alternative but you get pages of Amazon spam.

Q. Can anyone suggest an alterative disposable brand please - of
reasonably good quality. TIA.


Search ebay for industrial AA batteries




Poor quality batteries are a criminal waste of resources and transportation
form China.
