    Default Batteries

    What you guys using for batteries with success. Used to be Duracell was the go to for batteries. Lasted longer and didn’t leak corrosives into your devise. Now day they leak frequently. I think used to be made in Lancaster probably China now. Ironically the best batteries I have seen are the cheap Chinese batteries that come in TV remotes. Seem to last for ever and never leak.

    I started using the orange harbor freight batteries for AA and AAA. They are cheaper and seem to last just as long.

    I have also had several lights and a coyote caller messed up with Duracell batteries and I rarely had that problem before the last few years.

    I’ve been trying out the blue and gold batteries from Harbor Freight. Thus far they seem to last as long and haven’t had one leak yet.

    I run energizer lithium in my red dots, cameras and lights and have never had an issue. Also keep spares in the truck exposed to heat and cold.. no problems.

    Negative, it closed and I believe is something along the lines of a furniture or cabinet manufacture , or something similar.

    Not sure if they still make batteries but it is open. I've been using rayovac for a while now. You can get a big box at Lowe's pretty reasonable. I've started removing batteries from my trail cams when not in use because of batteries leaking in the past .

    We use PROCELL at work. They hold up in our field panels for years and never leak.

    Kirkland batteries for the win. I use them in all of my trail cameras and most all of them will last from August to Feb set on video mode w/ no leaks.
