About this deal

Each LR6/AA cylindrical cell measures 51 millimetres (height) by 15 millimetres (diameter). Ultimate AA batteries are direct replacements for size codes AM3, E91, FR6, L91, KAA, MIGNON, MN1500, ND62S, R6, UM3 and 4006. These Eco Advanced batteries lasted for 229 flashes before I hit the 30 second barrier for enough recharge to fire again. Up to around 100 flashes, I had to wait about 5 seconds between each manual flash. Later, it would rise to about 16 seconds when I reached half power and then 30 seconds at the end and counting. Lithium batteries are well known for overheating when used in an extreme way such as this. It is best not to do what I did and fire continuously at full power until depleted. I suspect that in most cases, photographers do not work this way.

In many cases, yes. rechargeables don’t deliver as much voltage as disposables (typically 1.25V rather than 1.5V), but they normally maintain the same level for longer and can just be recharged when they run dry. You pay more upfront for the batteries and the charger (if you need one), but you’ll recoup the difference within a couple of uses – and AA batteries cost so little to recharge that it’s barely worth thinking about. Factor in the clear environmental issues and it’s a no-brainer, although many local councils and some supermarkets now offer free recycling. So, for an extra 20% or so in cost, I got more than 100% extra use out of the lithium AA batteries. Not bad! Generally speaking, you should go for alkalines for most of your battery needs but opt for lithiums for digital cameras or other high-drain products where you need a reliable high charge for as long as possible. Should I buy rechargeables instead? New long-lasting Energizer Ultimate 1.5V AA or LR6 batteries are capable of lasting up to eight times longer than standard equivalents. Renowned for durability, the Ultimate lithium range is a top choice for devices with occasional high current demands.However, this didn’t happen with the other two sets. I put it down to the fact that Lithium batteries are obviously made differently and react more to high usage.

I love Energizer batteries and rarely have any problems with them other than a "leaky death" after a lot of use when using the rechargeable batteries. The best AA batteries you can buy in 2023 1. Energizer Ultimate Lithium: The longest-lasting AA battery To test them, I ran each set of four through my Canon 580EX II speedlight on full power to see how many flashes I got. These are the results: Wilko FunctionalThe other two, more expensive and powerful batteries were reassuringly heavy and lasted very well. So, how did they do? Alkaline : The mainstream battery technology for high-drain devices. They’re cheap and very easy to find, and last much longer than the old zinc chloride batteries. Technical advances have also seen the major problems – a short shelf life and a propensity to leak – reduced or even fixed. Surprisingly, I got the exact same amount of flashes (229) out of the Duracell AA batteries before I reached the 30 second benchmark for powering up for the next discharge.
