- The same as Energizer? Better? Member's Mark is the house brand for Sam's Club, and the AA batteries I'm looking at today are Made in the USA and priced at $17.98 for a 48-pack.
Results show them to perform better than the Energizer Max. I show them to be more consistent with Rayovac performance, but with cell construction that definitely looks like US-made energizer cells. Note that US energizer cells are becoming rare in my area with Indonesia and China mfg more common.
What do you think? Good batteries? Stick with the budget offerings I tested? Comment below

All those things at the bottom of the battery are meant to fail. They are what keep a battery from exploding. If there is any build up of pressure in the cell, these seals are designed to fail and let the pressure out. That is why they are "cheap" looking/feeling. They are the physical equivalent of a fuse.
i have always felt like energizers werent the best but because of the branding i always assumed it was just me.
What really makes a battery leak is a constant low load (by low, I mean microamps). Though 9v batteries are generally made for such low continuous use (smoke alarms). I collect handheld games of various types. When I see them (relatively modern ones), if there are batteries in them, unless they are the blue panasonic carbon zinc cells (I see them a lot and have never seen one leak), there is battery acid in the compartment. Pretty much every battery brand leaks under these conditions. I've pulled batteries from the 70s from analog radios without a hint of leakage when they were shut off. Also in old handhelds from the 70s and 80s. But when you get into the late 80s and onward, they don't have physical on/off switches. They continuously run in an ultra low power mode waiting for you to hit the on switch. Most are junk and I don't collect them, thank god. But there are some with old themes and game play that I do collect.
Thanks for sharing
that china energizer looks like it's a green sticker, i dont suppose you tried to remove it? could be paint? i'd be curious if it has the dimples like the other batteries.

You should measure the batteries as well. AA is a well defined physical size. You would be shocked at how many batteries on regular shelves in stores are not the correct physical size. This might not matter in your application, but there are many, many devices with an internal tube you have to put the batteries in and they simply do not fit of fit way too tightly and get stuck inside the device.
I just read reports of that using some brands
I’d like to see how Aldi batteries stack up against some of the other brands
I’ve never purchased any of their batteries. Are the US or China?
@@kev-reviewsI honestly don’t know where they are made, but in my experience they are a decent battery. Not quite as good as Energizer or Duracell but they last a decent amount of time. I’d compare them to Rayovac.
Please test how long these last in a real application, such as a LED bike light.
Working on something
Ah you got the one Walton brand, but you didn't get Great Value to test at the same time!
There isn’t a single great value AA to be found in any store around me. I’ve checked them all. Just open slots where they should be…and this has been since I started testing batteries 🤷
@@kev-reviews Oh that's very strange, I see they have the 3-packs online for shipping, I wonder why they aren't putting them on shelves.
Yeah. Did you see the price of those 3 packs? $1.38 per battery. Funny that the singles (out of stock) are only .46 each
Seriously??? Another battery video? I did My first mnt bike race today. Can't watch. Sorry
