Kodak Xtralife from Poundland are an absolute bargain. Just check battery websites that compare batteries. They score really well.

Bought them 2 months back. Does not last as long as regular Duracell.
Would NOT recommend but heat for posting the deal!

Entirely agree, that's why I see this as rather cool.

this battery faked battery going, probably more fakes than original.

These are genuine Duracells, just non-Consumer branded. Anyone saying they last shorter than consumer Duracells must have had a faulty batch. They've been tested on numerous independent sites and always perform as well as the consumer variant.
These are the ones I always buy. Heat from me.

A faulty batch or fake ones.
Personally I would never buy branded batteries such as these from a Personal Ebay seller.

I recall seeing a chart (or link to one) in a previous hukd battery thread and the Ikea batteries came out well it tests.
Ebay is flooded with Duracell Industrial batteries going cheap. The sellers are usually not VAT registered, selling vast quantities, at prices that are too good to be true. Duracell Industrial are good, but the ebay ones tend to have some that don't work, and those that work don't all last. Proceed with caution.

The cheapest cost per amp hour is in fact the 'IKEA Alkalisk' you mentioned followed closely by those cheap and cheerful 'Readycell' found in Home Bargains.
In fact the 'Ikea Alkalisk' seems to come out well above a lot of the well known and much more expensive batteries.
Unfortunately nearest Ikea is over 100 miles away, so the next best amp per hour batteries for me (Readycell), but I will be on the lookout for those 'Kodak Xtralife' as they have a very low cost per amp hour too.

But the charts are like MOT's on cars, only really valid on the day of testing. Think about the shop branded batteries "Ikea", "Maplin", "Morrisons", I highly doubt they use the same manufacturer all the time. Therefore one batch could, (as example), be made by Duracell and another batch by Ever Ready.
It's not what's on the outside it's what on the inside. As a vague example, a number of years ago Samsung used a chinese manufacturer for some of their "resistors" on their TV motherboards. They then swiched to Taiwan because they were cheaper..... but this caused huge problems with recalls. The TV still said Samsung on the front.
Twisting it another way, Tescos, Morrisons, Asda, Sainburys have their own brand of Digestives..... but they are made by McVities. However if they got somebody else to start making them they would still be "shop brand" digestives.
Just a thought. :smiley:

Wouldn't touch Duracell with a bargepole. When they leak and wreck whatever they were in, Duracell will tell you the batteries were not suitable for use in whatever you had them in.
As stated above, you're better off with Kodak Xtralife from Poundland or Tesco.

That's less than 28p per battery.

Only worthwhile if you live near or are going to a store though.
