Somewhere there's a survey of AA batteries. Ikea came top IIRC. Maybe
their rechargeables are good too


Thanks Stuart and all. A quick look at the IKEA site came up with
'Alkalisk' brand.

Googled with Alkalisk Review gave me this site :-

Is this the one you saw? Sadly there's no local IKEA and delivery
charges rule them out. I'll look at the next 6 best and see if Ebay can
source them cheaply.




Duracell can be cheap...

though, it does say 'industrial'? I know not what that entails.


Thanks, it could be a buzz word and will replace 'Pro' which is fast
becoming over-used.
I'll have a look at the Duracell, Energizer, Philips - they may be handy for
the low-drain consumption.
