AA and AAA batteries, Poundland Kodak?

[Cyber-Mav]

Was in Poundland today and saw they had some Kodak batteries, anyone know if they are any good or bad? Saw they had 2 types of Kodak's, one was called xtralife.

If he needs rechargeables, the LIDL ones are a good shout also.

iv got a large amount of those ladda rechargeables in things like lego motor toys, wii remotes and other high drain stuff.
needed some batteries for tv remote.
will avoid those zinc carbon ones then and go with the kodak xtralife alkaline ones.

can confirm, bought 8 of the kodak zinc stuff last year in my haste...would not recommend
(thankfully has not leaked)

Those Panasonic zinc ones are also useless. May work of in a clock or a TV remote but don't last long at all.
Can probably rig up a battery tester that can drain and calculate the capacity of the cell and work out if certain cheap alkaline brands are actually any good
