Default Cheap alternative to Duracell AA batteries

Do you not use adblock plus on your browsers?

Not sure about over long batteries. Sounds a bit dodgy.
The thing is that rechargeable of the cheap variety, are not much good.
I find the Maplin ones, though not cheap, can be recharged many many times
and have a high capacity, and do not self discharge either.

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.
