Milwaukee

3.4

(12)

"Love the 4.0 for most my m12 tools. Is light enough that it doesn't have much effect on handling and lasts a long time."

"Best bang for the buck in power to weight/size and run time."

"The best M12 batteries are the High Output packs, CP2.5 and XC5.0. These have the highest performance under load for their respective sizes."

"The 5.0HO battery is the best M12 battery. Everyone with M12 tools should have at least 1."

"M12 5.0XC go on sale pretty regularly."

"The 4.0XC is also a good choice, tied with the 2.5HO."

"The 2.5HO is tied for the next best option after the 5.0HO."

"The 2.0CP is the last preference."

"The CP3.0 battery performs poorly under load and is best suited for low-power tools that require long runtime but need to remain compact."

"The XC6.0 is unreliable and should be avoided."

Energizer

4.8

(5)

"Energizer, $104, still working fine."

"Energizer lithium for both coin and regular. Pricy, but worth it -- they are consistently reliable quality."

"Lithium AAA batteries perform well in low temperatures, often down to -20 degrees or lower."

"Energizer lithium AAAs last great in a Tuya Zigbee sensor."

"I’m running the Walmart / Energizer AGM, works great."

Ego

4.6

(5)

"I’ve had great experiences with the Ego brand for my lawnmower and weedwhacker."

"All of the official consumer Ego batteries will fit all their consumer tools, and the 12ah is a great choice with a 5-year warranty."

"Every battery Ego makes will fit in any of the tools. I use a 10Ah that came with mine, and there's room to spare."

"Buying the mower with the battery included is often cheaper than buying the battery alone."

"The mower comes with a great warranty and the included battery is usually at a heavy discount."

Amazon

4.4

(5)

"I read constantly day and night. Have had mine at least 2 years by now and no noticeable battery degradation."

"Buy the Kindle kids Paperwhite for the best bang for your buck. Exact same unit just better warranty, 2year, automatically ad free and includes a case of your choice."

"I use Amazon rechargeable batteries in mine and it’s been fine."

"I bought it and sold the blower to my neighbor."

"A good option for hot swapping batteries."

Yuasa

4.8

(4)

"I ended up buying this one - Yuasa YUAM327BS YTX7L-BS Maintenance Free AGM Battery with Acid pack."

"Lithium Yuasa is always good."

"Yuasa is usually the agreed upon standard for reliability."

"I wouldn't automatically assume your battery is no good just because it's been flattened a time or two."

Samsung

4.5

(4)

"If your looking just for battery and an all around great watch get a 5 pro."

"The 5 Pro can be had for ~$100 secondhand and is excellent. Battery usually lasts at least 3 days."

"Watch 5 pro is a deal now for under 125$ second hand and 189 new."

"Samsung just works and extends the QP battery life by about 3h."

Dyson

3.8

(4)

"I've used a 4ah battery on my Dyson V7 for almost 2 years with no issues. Works better than the original battery in my opinion."

"Using a Makita adapter with custom batteries significantly increases run time."

"Works like a charm! The load for max is too much for 2ah batteries so they cut off in seconds, however 5ah runs for 20min on max."

"Not convinced it's worth the effort to switch to a Makita battery."

Optima

5.0

(3)

"I put in an Optima 9002-002 a few years ago. Zero issues."

"I went with Optima Yellow top, purchased at auto zone lil over a year ago…no complaints."

"Optima marine"

Anker

5.0

(3)

"I use Anker power banks, I have three so when one dies I swap in a new one and keep playing."

"Your prayers have been answered."

"The Anker PowerCore 737 powerbank has a capacity of 24,000mAh and fast charging, making it perfect for keeping my device charged on the go."

#10

Interstate

5.0

(3)

"Best thing I’ve bought for my car."

"I'm pretty impressed with the Interstate AGM from Costco. It's considerably better than the lead acid Interstate that I had for a year before."

#11

Costco

4.3

(3)

"Get it from costco. It has 4yr warranty."

"I've had good luck with Costco batteries which I believe are manufactured by Interstate batteries."

"Costco battery."

#12

Eneloop

4.3

(3)

"Rechargeable AA batteries can be recharged many hundreds of times, making them cost-effective in the long run."

"Get eneloop. Yes they used to be better, I still haven’t found any that beat them."

"Eneloop for something that you can hold for more than a minute, as NiMH has a far higher discharge rate than Alkaleaks and thus far better performance."

#13

Anton Bauer

(2)

"If you're willing to spend the money, get Gold Mounts."

"I have used Anton Bauer Micro 150Wh Batteries for a few years and prefer the Smallrigs."

#14

Vapcell

4.0

(2)

"Vapcell 10440 if you want maximum performance and don't mind draining the battery fast and getting quite warm in the process."

"I don't have this light yet, but based on what I've read about the KC1, the Vapcell 10440 flat top should do the job."

#20

4.0

#22

Bobovr

3.5

"The Bobovr B100U provides 3 additional hours of playtime with one battery, making it the best option for extending battery life."

"The Bobovr B2 only lasted 1 hour and took 2 hours to charge, requiring multiple batteries for unlimited play."

#23

Bosch

3.0

(2)

"I’d take a look at the Bosch UniversalChain 18v. It’s not the quickest nor the best option but good enough for home use and they’re built quite well so will do you for a good while."
