Energizer Lithium last the longest,

Energizer Ultimate Lithium 4 pack - £6.99 6hrs 57m 48s 50p/hr

but surprisingly

Morrisons Extra long-life 4 pack - £1.75 3hrs 03m 02s 29p/hr

came second.



Hilarious Video, can't find that though.

However you can buy the duracells for 4+4 (=8 for mathematically challenged) at the same price. Which makes it only 34.5p per hour.

I'm sure you can buy all of them at significantly reduced prices, it's probably not a meaningful comparison to compare sale prices against regular prices. Duracell Ultra is missing, does it not exist in UK?

Forget costs, they're all relative anyway, and all can be bought discounted.

It's really the RT's that matter.

In the doggies anyway.

In the doggies anyway.

With a run-time of 2 hrs 30 mins, the doggies are drawing ~0.4C for the average cell here.

Results for higher and lower loads might well put some of the cells in a different order, although the Energizer Lithiums would remain at the top for performance - alkaline cells perform poorly under heavy loads.

This is a reasonable test and it is useful info - thanks for posting it.
