Looking for less expensive 9v alkaline battery.
Please suggest best brands.
I usually buy eight or so at a time.
Forget Duracell as I have given up on Duracell and Kirkland, THEY LEAK
!!!Â*Â* Even just sitting in their original packaging many years before
their use by date.Â* These have ruined many devices.Â* And NO I am not
spending all my time removing and inserting batteries in all my devices.
I have totally dropped Duracell and Kirkland for all my AA and AAA
needs.Â*Â* Duracell and KirklandÂ* have Junk battery seals.Â* I have years
of experience using these batteries hoping they would fix the seals, but
no they just keep destroying my devices.
Amazon sells many brands but there is unfortunately no durability
comparison this or other products.

Depends on your application.
3 years ago I switched to EBL rechargeable lithium 9V batteries.
I use 'em in low drain devices like multimeters.
Haven't had to charge any of 'em yet.
They're rated at 600mAh, but I don't have any experience with high drain
usage.
Downside is that your device has to work down to 7V or so.
More expensive initially, but can have lower cost over the long haul.
Back in the day, I tried rechargeable 7.2V NiCds. Mostly useless.
The 8.4V 7-cell NiMH were better, but self discharge was an issue.
