I didn't vote because I don't really know. I have not used all three for my toys. I have used rayovac and energizer, but don't think I have tried duracell with my toys yet. I will have to run a test I think.

So far, I can honestly say that I've never really payed attention. But now I will and I'll have to report back
05/27/2010
For other electronics Duracell all the way. But for some reason-Rayovac works best in my toys.

I've had the best luck with Duracell and Energizer. Duracell is on sale more often, though

Energizer is best for digital cameras in my experience.

Most of my batteries are rechargeable these days, but in all honesty I've got a 50/50 mix of both Duracell and Energizer and find them both about the same.

Whatever is on sale lol

Eneloop NiMH rechargeable batteries. I use them in my camera flash, too. They come precharged and when you charge them again, they're only down to about 85% after a year unused.

I use Energizer rechargeable batteries.
Which reminds me, I need AAA.

I used Energizer for one of my vibrators and it just lasted forever. It honestly took me for a loop! I didn't even have to remove them from the vibrator!
So I think I'll go with Energizer (or with that vibrator)

I use Eneloops too, and LOVE them! I bought 16 AAs and 8 AAAs about a year ago - they hold a charge for SO much longer than any other rechargeable batteries I've ever used.

Honestly, I go for the cheapest. We go through batteries like crazy with the kids and all their toys...
Then again, now that Mommy has all of herrr toys, we're gonna go through that much more.

I tend to go directly with Energizer (the battery that keeps going and going). What I really love is rechargeable toys, I hate it when in the middle of sizzling sexual pleasure the dreaded death! Ugh!

I was using Rayovac, but I recently bought some Energizer AA & AAA rechargeables. Love 'em!!

Where can I buy these? I've been trying to get them for so long, and was hoping that Edenfantasys would carry them..

This thread got me to thinking... I buy Duracell for rechargeable batteries because they have the biggest on-shelf selection of the main companies. However, when I buy a somewhat disposable battery that is never going to make it back to a charger (usually music related stuff) I prefer Duracell. I will seek out Duracell or even pay more for it. Now here is the thing, I don't know why I prefer Duracell, I have never done a side by side comparison. The only thing I can come up with is that the physical appearance of the batteries look more solid to me. Strange!

I have rechargable and battery toys. Ide go broke using regular batteries. We use rechargable. We have 2 chargers for 4 bateries each. Ones durracell and I think the other one is energizer.

As my husband is an engineer and works with power supplies and LOTS of batteries of different types, we are a Duracell family. I have bought Rayovac for my toys on occasion to save money, and ended up having them die at inopportune times. Energizers aren't as bad, but they are not as good as Duracell, IMO. We often run our toys for a long time, and the Duracells seem to hold up the best and only "wind down" right before they die totally.
Duracell now makes a supercharged battery, which I swear works even harder than their regular copper tops. It has a stripe around the top, but I can't remember the exact name of them.

Cool, supercharged! Do they supercharge a toy to be even better or do they just last longer?

They seemed stronger at first, (although sometimes it's subjective.) They also lasted really long. I can't find them, as they were offered as a plus in a huge package of Duracell AAs (I thin there were about 18 bats in there, plus the 4 supercharged.) I know they had a strip around the top. I'm going to Google them, as I really liked them, and for toys as well as other things around the house, we always buy batteries in bulk.

Getting a bat charger has reduced our battery buying, but I still prefer one time use batteries for my toys.
(Hey, gimme a break . I used cloth diapers with my kids, I can use a few batteries. LOL!)

The cheap brand, lol. AKA Costco's pack of batteries for $10.

Most of the toys we use often have built-in rechargeable batteries, but when we choose to use one of the toys with AA or AAA batteries we use NiMH rechargeables. I like the Eneloop batteries, because they hold a charge for a long time when not being used.

RECHARGEABLE!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
It's $11 and you don't have to buy them again for about a year.

I don't think I've ever noticed the difference I will have to try the energizer batteries out! I usually get Raovac only because they are cheaper! LOL
