Very impressive and precise job testing the 9Vs! Always a thumbs up and looking forward to the next video!
Thank you very much! Loved your latest testing video!
Woah Project Farm watches your channel O_Ob
Can you test 9v lithium batteries? @projectfarm
If Todd from PF approves -- then this is an excellent, legit test. Thank you for uploading.
Whats funny is looking for a 9v test i expected it to be project farm 😂
Great testing as always! I must say that your's & Project Farms YT channels are my go to for product testing! Keep up the great work.......... 👍👍😉😉
Thank you! Great to hear. Stay safe
Very nice testing! I know this takes a lot of time and effort and negative comments come from channels with NO content. Thanks 👏🏻👍
Thank you! Glad you liked the video
Here's an interesting extra bit you might find enlightening: Many years ago, I was having problems with 9V energizers and was looking for alternatives. Ended up dismantling a battery from each of several brands. What was inside was very revealing. (this applies to the 9V batteries that use the cylindrical AAAA size cells, not the 'stacked' kind) The Duracell had welded straps connecting the cells together and to the snaps. Ray-o-Vac had welded straps, except pressure to one of the snaps. Energizer had no straps, instead had bits of selectively aluminized cardboard at the top and bottom connecting the cells, and pressure to the snaps board. The crimps on the case were the only thing providing pressure. (Drop an energizer 9V, it often went bad or flaky. That's why.) This was 25 years ago, but some of the batteries still are built this way I think. Duracell is made in a few different countries so may have different insides. But it was quite interesting. Duracell and Ray o Vac were our 9Vs of choice from there on out... Stu Thanks for doing these kinds of vids! Stay safe!
Love this comment, thank you for sharing
Amazing video! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the videos!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for your concise test and review.
Thank you Doug. After the house fire we had I am always on the lookout for good batteries for our smoke detectors. Has always I liked,shared. All my best and stay safe.
Thanks for watching Bobby! Stay safe
(Yes, I know, a year old comment)
Had a similar experience which caused the issue to be more forward in my considerations.
Hardwired was my choice in the end, the system I ending up installing had good SLA back up and alert integration. No more chirping during the holidays, climbing, and replacing ailing batteries. Though, the system heads do need replacing every decade, as most SD require. Cost ended up being 5 times the cost of inexpensive standalone SDs.
Obviously, it can't be an option for everyone but if you have a new installation or have easy access to wire it all: It is a very good option. Least of all for the peace of mind and convenience.
Most excellent comparison. Many thanks!
Thank you Allen! Be sure to watch my battery testing video playlist, and look over my other video playlists as well.
I feel you bro TH-cam is strangling the creators one by one 😢😢
Thanks. You are awesome.
I've always wanted to know which one was better Duracel or Energizer. Now I know. Thanks
good test. You should use a programmable load device that has either internal logging and /or output to computer program to log your test results. This device could be used when testing all (most) of your batteries.
thank you for sharing.
You're welcome! Be sure to share the link with others. Thank you
Just wondering, do you think that the 19.2% performance difference would be constant with a variable load?
For example would duracell still last 19.2% more in a smoke alarm?
Would duracell last 19.2% longer on a small motor?
OK MR ElectronicsNmore, I've got one for you!!! How about review on AA/18650 battery CHARGERS? Which one charges the best, puts more oomf in your lithium rechargeable batteries??? I have one that works pretty darn good, but I would love to see you beat them up!!! It would also be cool to see which AA lithium battery lasts the longest, but for me at least, I would like to see the charger torture test first. Thanks for a GREAT channel!!!!
Thanks for the suggestions Dave!
LG makes good lithium cells. I personally haven't done any name brand testing, all my cells are salvaged from laptops and power tools.
Very interesting.
It coincides with my experience/preference for Duracells in 9 V. I find they leak at the same sporadic rates as the Energizer counterpart but they run longer in projects and devices and are slightly less expensive where I am when bought in bulk.
Then reverse that brand preference in the A series battery form factor. Frankly, in AA/AAA, when I have to Kirkland Signature (Costco) has become my preference.
Cheers!
How much did the bulk kirkland batterys cost you?
@@omarmoran3097 I haven't been to Costco in a while: It was a 3rd less expensive(or more) than the comparable Duracell bulk package.
I buy the Kirkland 48 AA package. In my area Kirkland 9 Volts are never seen and even AAA seem to be rare/out of stock. Costco used to carry Eneloop but I have seen them back in years (again, in my area).
However, battery prices are varied in Costco based on country: Something I noticed travelling, pre-COVID-19.
@@omarmoran3097 amazon basics are great A and AAA
@@dave4925yahoo what about type D battery?
Thank you
Might be interesting to cut them open, the construction for low chemical leakage is different, those long shelf life badderies have to be well sealed.
I thought of that, but leaking happens over time, usually in higher temps, and the battery at low voltage. Thanks for watching!
Please do a similar test with Lithium 9 Volt (primary, not rechargeable Li-on) batteries. Maybe the Energizer vs the Amazon basic? I can't seem to find any testing on the lithium 9 volt batteries.
Hello
In which voltage duracell under voltage?
Question in another way ?
When I need to replaced with new
What is lowest voltage of duracell
Excellent
Thanks for watching!
Hi, just out of curiosity price vs. performance, which is the winner there like you've done on other types of batteries where it was actually better to buy more of the less expensive for more runtime than one of the more expensive with less usable runtime per $? Thanks.
It's tough to figure because the price can vary widely, but based on the $4.50 price, for Duracell 87 cents per 100mAh, and Energizer $1.04 per 100mAh.
If the useful life is about 6.5 to 7 volts,there doesn't appear to be much difference between the two.I'd like to see the same test on cheapy brands,as well
Hi Les. Yes, Energizer is only around .2V less than the Duracell in that range. I would love to make a video showing them, but if viewers don't share this video, and it only gets 3 or 4k views, I won't bother. If TH-cam didn't bury my video way down the search results, I'd easily get hundreds of thousands of views. I can't spend many hours making videos, if I end up losing time and money. Thanks for watching!
What is this printed on the most bottom part of the 9V battery energizer max numbers looked like month,day,and year, is this the expiration date from the time you use?
I thought they said to use ferrite magnets to build the Bedini motor. So neo magnets are okay or better to use?
I only reply to questions placed at the correct video. Delete and repost. Thanks
Nice test, what about the battery cost per maH of usable life? (2nd relevant comment)
Glad you enjoyed the video! I didn't add a cost per mAh because the prices are all over the place. If you see both brands selling for very close to the same price, I'd buy the Duracell 9V. Thanks for watching, and be sure to share the video link.
So much for the bunny!
The copycat bunny won! 😂 Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with others.
I've learned the Sun Brand available at the Dollar Stores are the best bang for the buck for me. Oddly enough I've never experience them leaking where I have had Duracell Spooge. Duracell Batteries cost more then I'm willing to pay for a battery.
Yes, they are pricey. I also use the 9V dollar store batteries. They work good, but don't last as long. Thanks for watching!
Intriguing
Have you done a lithium video at all? Thanks
Do you still have the batteries? It would be nice to peel off the case and see the internal construction. Typically 6 cells, but some use AAAA size cylindrical cells, and others use a stack of flat rectangular cells each about 4-5mm thick.
Typically (6)AAAA's for alkalines, and the flat rectangular for 9V NiMH
you said earlier in the video that anything uncer 7v likely wouldn't even work, so it looks like they performed nearly the same until 7v... so i see no diff
Do they have Ray-O-Vac in your area? They also supply some big store brands. I'd like to see how they do.
Better do it fast as they were just taken over by Energizer Holdings. I expect them to outsource like they already do with their own brand.
Hi Ray. Walmart sells Rayovac. I was only testing the two big companies. If this video gets at a minimum, tens of thousands of views, I'd make another showing 6 or 8. I spent many hours filming, editing, and driving many miles to buy batteries for a previous alkaline battery testing video(AAA's), and the video was very well done, but as a result of viewers not sharing the video on social networking sites, and YT hiding my video way down the search results, the video hardly got any views. If a video gets less than 50,000 views, it was a loss to me. There are YT channels uploading poor content getting 50K views, so it's frustrating. Thanks for watching!
Can you do a comparison for the 9v rechargeable battery between 170mah (energizer/Philip) vs 680/800mah other brand?
I though the number is weird but can’t find a test/review
If I see a lot more people starting to notice this video and share it, definitely. My videos have been receiving very low exposure on YT, which results in low views. I cannot spend hours of my time working for free. Thanks for watching!
What does a 9 volt run 5 bucks? Should have bought (4) 9 volt batteries from The Dollar Twenty Five Tree and seen how long they lasted in comparison. It would just be interesting in my opinion.
I can't find this answer anywhere. Knowing most 9v brands are actually different sizes dimensionally. I need an option of a brand that's same dimension as Duracell. Panasonic is the same but have had alot of bad luck lately. Energizer is taller. AC Delco is taller and wider.
Any suggestions or just suck it up and spend money on the duracells?
Looks like you did wait until the voltage dropped to 5 volts like you said you would?
That 2 hour difference is why Duracell is the battery of choice for Broadway level wireless mics .
Thanks for watching my video! Please share.
5V IS when the smoke detectors start to beep.. So maybe thats why they tested them down to 4.8?
I'm fairly certain they start chirping at 6V, but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share.
@@electronicsNmore you maybe right , I have a model with Flashing Lights that Runs off One single 9V , Most with lights are Dual 9V , But this one i installed the larger 6V flashlight batt's too it and never had any beeps so who knows.
i always loved duracell.
Only problem is they're prone to leaking.
I have used both 9V batteries already and I can tell that duracell last way longer than Energizer on average.
True
12v car battery charger for a few seconds always charges them fast for me. I wont do it long since they get hot and might cause issues. Maybe you want to test it out and see how long it will take before issues happen at a safe distance. Only had a limited about of times to do that trick. I never tested which can handle more charges.
Usually when a device has enough room inside for put another battery i put it in parallel to make it that they last longer. And in series if it's an emergency to get every bit out. But again its all IF.
on another topic oddly enough laptop adapters can handle higher power into the laptop and they seem fine for years despite they require far less watts and amps. go figure.
It's an old video, but it works. :-)

Thanks for this! I need some new batteries for my scale so it can tell me how fat I am. Going with duracell means it can tell me how fat I am for a bit longer. ;-p
A leaky Duracell 9 V cost me over $100 on a single piece of electronics. It will take a lot of 2 hours less use to equal that loss.
Reading the comments, I would call Duracells "very badderies". LOL
Looks: Duracell
Power: Energizer
I like Energizer more than duracell
Duracell is bad for having Alot of leaking batteries.
Energizer is guaranteed not to leak.
That's why I only use Energizer Max
Problem is my smoke alarm starts to beep when the battery drops to 7.99V. So for that purpose the extra life of the Duracell under 6.5V does not matter.
Some beep lower, 7.5V, but I agree, the test according to the manufacturer is worthless below 7.5v. I would've stopped at 7v, but I had to follow the datasheet. Thanks for watching!
THe reason I stick with everready for critical devices which I cannot cheaply replace, is that they guarantee to repair or replace any device damaged by their batteries, In the 50 years that I've been using them, I've had to send them three different things, a walkie talkie, and two remote controls (fancy ones, with so many functions that universal remotes couldn't replace them), and they repaiired ALL of them, no charge. Now that's living up to their warranty! I do use, however, cheap batteries for common cheap things that I can repair myself or replace cheaply, should they leak.
My sedentary awareness gave me the impression Duracells lasted longer. Now I can let that smoke detector intermittently beep for about a week more. Thx. 👍
Thanks for watching Lou! Be sure to share the link to this video on social networking sites.
Why
energizer 9 v battery pack of 2 s too ecpensive in Waitrose
do they work with an xbox controller?
As stated, YES Duracell have a horrible leakage problem, (especially from Japan).
I've used nothing but Duracell for Decades, BUT *NO* *MORE!!* Although the Energizer doesn't last as long, it's worth the problem of not as much leakage, (if at all) during it's life useage!
Thanks for watching! Please share.
Hey. Hang on a minute. Wasn’t one zinc /manganese dioxide and the other Alkaline?
Both alkaline 9V's.
Damn.. the koolstuff you can learn on TH-cam 🤔
Glad you enjoyed the video Tom! You'll definitely want to watch my battery testing video playlist below. Thanks for watching!

Which battery leaks quicker and longer. Is all you need to know.
LOL. Duracell seems to be the worst. Thanks for watching!
Try again with Duracell vs Ray O Vac.
If enough people take the time to share this video to make it worthwhile, no problem. Thanks for watching!
I love 9v batteries

in europe you can buy them for about 2 euros from reputable shops :)
$2.50 USD each, not too bad. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore Thanks for the info ;) !
most electronics made by the same OEMs, just shipped in batches and tested by the brands for verification of their own standards and the rest are resold on to cheaper brands
We, the Energizer MAX is just about 15 to 25 percent cheaper
Your data is wrong because the watt hour output rating is the only thing that actually matters because wattage Is a currency to be exchanged for voltage via a joule thief. 9volt batteries as well as aa,aaa batteries are considered obsolete and needless because of intergated li-on which only needs 4volts because of that wattage factor I mentioned. D batteries in form of NIMH are the only tube retro fitted technology that is worth the time and money because of that wattage factor and also farad . Basically if you still use 9volt batteries you should seek new hardware because 9volts alkaline are bad for the environment.
My data is accurate, unfortunately you cannot please every viewer, no matter how hard you try.
@@electronicsNmore okay so let me explain if you a device that requires a DC sine wave of 9volts and 0.25 amp hours you can convert a battery of 4volts and 0.75 amp hours you can use a joule thief and you will have the correct current . Downside is loss potential in the form of heat .
Just because you buy them local, does not mean they don't buy them from Amazon or Ebay.
A local supermarket is not going to pay a middleman to buy product. They buy it directly from the manufacturer at a wholesale price, then trucks distribute the product to all the different store locations.
so these batteries have about 0.5 Amp which is not a lot. my Phone has 5 Amp.
I would need 10 of these
Actually lower, they're designed for low drain applications. Thanks for watching!
How about alkaline?
Hi
Probably both made in the same Malaysian Manufacturing Plant.
Of course energizer Wil win because its max
They only sell MAX at stores. You can't but a "regular" energizer 9V.
Car remote fob batteries
Which type? CR2032? If so, I already made a video for those. Thanks for watching!
Do you have Facebook or Instagram account? or any Twitter?
No. TH-cam is more than enough for me. LOL
@@electronicsNmore OMG 😯
It’s nice to be a American hey lol .
If all other things are equal, weight is a pretty important characteristic. Unfortunately, all other things aren't equal. With larger batteries, weight is a bigger issue because a lot lower of a percentage of the total is the jacket and stuff. But with 9v, you have 6 individual jackets plus the outer jacket. A much higher percentage of the weight is the "packaging" around the chemicals which actually contain the energy.
True
My multimeter's 9v battery dies super fast
It shouldn't, something is wrong. Excessive current is being drawn.
all batterys i use ,,,DURACELL,, always leak they are junk
I won't use the Duracell 1.5v cylindrical batteries. Thanks for watching!
Energizer max batteries are guaranteed not to leak.
I only use Energizer Max.
And the heavier battery lasted longer
Seconddddd
Duracell is better
third
Glad to see you arrived early Matt! The most important thing isn't who watches first, but who watches the ENTIRE video. People that skip all over the video, or don't watch the entire video, aren't helping me. Stay safe. Thanks for watching!
Duracells leak and destroy your gear.
I agree with your comment on the AA and AAA Duracells, but I haven't had any problems with their 9V batteries.
I discussed that in the video. Thanks for watching
Dd
Show me -- a fake battery on Amazon? Which one??
After he had said 'Badderies' for about the fourth time I quit!
There are (2) types of viewers on YT, those that are appreciative of people like myself that spend money and many hours creating helpful, informative, and quality videos. Luckily they're the majority. The other type are viewers that post idiotic/moronic comments. It's sad that people don't understand that all over the world, and all over the USA, people speak with a different accent. The behavior I see on my channel by some "Brits", is deplorable.
I am here for the data and not how to pronounce words, there are other channels for the latter. Does pronunciation inhibit the value of the results provided in this video? Since English is not my primary language, this concerns me a little.
Hi
