Very Good Value Priced D-Cell Alkaline
Good quality batteries. The power output and longevity of these batteries in my equipment seem comparable to the Rayovac and Duracell alkaline cells I use, and I haven't had a single rupture or leak. Out all the cells I've used so far, every one performed well, without a single dud. For the money, I think these are the best D-Cells out there - and I've tried a LOT. Here's my results of real-world usage (most favorite, to least favorite):
AmazonBasics - Good power output, average longevity, consistently low price.
Rayovac - Good power output, great longevity, varied price (I find good deals every few weeks). Never seem to leak.
Ikea - Average power output (flickers a little), fair longevity, usually the lowest price.
Maxell - Good power output, great longevity, good price, but one in every few dozen eventually leaks.
Duracell - Good power output, great longevity, varied price, but one in every few dozen eventually leaks.
Sunbeam - Average power output, fair longevity, consistently low price, but prone to leakage.
Energizer - Inconsistent power output (some flicker a lot, some don't), average longevity, can be expensive, and seem VERY prone to leakage.
As such, I now use the AmazonBasics in all of my everyday-use D-cell flashlights, lanterns, and motion sensors. I save the Rayovacs for stuff I keep in storage, and in my emergency kits. I'm currently storing a few AmazonBasics to test them for leakage, and - thus far - I haven't had a single one leak. I'll update my review, as I use them further.
