In my testing Duracell outlasted Energizer, Panasonic, IKEA (as a cheap option comparison) and Renata. All but the Renata showed a significant performance deficiency to where I refuse to use them in RMRs or any optic that has to be removed to replace the battery. The Renatas performed well but the Duracells still lasted longer.
Duracell...all the time.
Thanks for the tip!
Duracell Pro's. I got mine from Big Tex Outdoors, IIRC.
Cowan’s white paper tracks battery failures. Last I checked, Duracell had the lowest failure rate, so all I run is Duracell.
I think LED emitter/brand has something to do with this.
I am NOT advocating for their use but I have run energizer 2032's in eleven different holosun optics with zero issues since late 2017. My oldest optic is still on its original battery. I believe that's a 503 variant that is no longer produced. The solar panel is probably keeping this thing running but it works in low light/no light.
I think that the vast majority of people here are going to recommend duracell and that's probably the best way to go.
Are Duracell wafer-format batteries better than their AA/AAA type? For me it seemed that in the cylinder-format they are prone to leak acid earlier than Energizer.
Thinking out loud, that may have been all alkaline ... maybe lithium is a different story?
