after my grand test batteries has been more than three years and during that time a lot has changed.
First of all, "mizinchikovye" AAA batteries (LR03, AM4, MN2400, 24AB) almost pushed "finger" AA (LR06, AM3, MN1500) - in hours, scales, remote controls, flashlights, blood pressure monitor, toys, now for some reason it is much more likely to use less capacious, but more compact AAA batteries.
Secondly much prices have changed. IKEA batteries, which became one of the leaders of the grand test, rose by half - a pack of 10 pieces is now worth 159 rubles, and was 79 rubles. Former least expensive alkaline batteries nameless yellow from Auchan now cost as much as the more famous models - 53 rubles per blister of four pieces.
I found out in a grand test that buy expensive batteries (Duracell, Energizer, Sony, Panasonic) is not It makes no sense, since many of them do not differ in capacity from cheap batteries, and some are even inferior to them.
That's why I bought at IKEA stores, Auchan and Leroy Merlin are eight kinds of cheap alkaline (alkaline) AAA batteries and test them.
There are three types of AAA batteries:
• salt - have a small capacity, are unable to give large currents are not stored for more than two years;
• alkaline (alkaline) - stores up to 10 years, and are capable of delivering both small and large currents;
• Lithium - have the greatest capacity, stored 10 years, but very expensive (from 100 rubles per battery).
Saline batteries of saving sometimes used in consoles, and other devices having low power consumption, but even if very little consumption, they have had much less alkaline due to the loss of capacity time.
Lithium batteries are all good, but there are 5-10 times more expensive than alkaline.
The most massive battery - alkaline (alkaline). It is their I recommend to buy, and I tested.
Testing was performed using the analyzer Oleg Artamonova (http://ammo1.livejournal.com/470053.html) In two modes:
• Discharge DC 200 mA. This load is typical for electronic toys;
• The discharge pulses 1000 mA (load 30 seconds, 30 seconds of pause). This load is characteristic for lights and pressure gauges.
Measurement made with the battery discharge to a voltage of 0.7 V.
When the discharge current of 200 mA outsider expectedly become yellow unnamed batteries from Ashana, in the third place from the end batteries "every day" from the same Hashanah, but the second place from the end surprised me - it suddenly took batteries IKEA.
high current 1000 mA testing gave similar results - the worst yellow nameless.
Test results I mixed in the table, which at the same time considered the number of milliwatt-hours per ruble cost of the batteries.
The best of those tested were brand new batteries Pairdeer, sold in the store Leroy Merlin. They lead on to the large current capacity, the ratio of capacity / price, and the second highest capacity in a small stream.
Lexman batteries from the same store were in first place in the tank at a low current. At high current are in third place, which is also good.
Cheapest of the tested batteries "every day" of Auchan were far worse. Their capacity on low current is only 11% less than the leader, and a large current is 16% less.
Batteries GP Auchan and good, but there is more profitable options.
Yellow nameless battery of Auchan made sense to buy when they were sold at the price of salt batteries - less than five rubles apiece. At a price above 13 rubles, this is clearly not the best acquisition.
Unpleasantly surprised IKEA batteries. They are now not cheap, and not the best.
So, if you find yourself in Leroy Merlin, feel free to buy batteries or Pairdeer Lexman, and if fate shall stretch you at Auchan, take trophy or every day. And in Ikeja now better just to buy the batteries - they are there excellent and cheap.
P.S. This article I wrote for 3DNews and it was first published there.
