Today when shopping for AAAa I found non-duracells for 7.something, and another brand for 5 Euros for 4 batteries.
I picked up the duracell (it's a good brand, right?) to see that it's alkaline. Iirc Duracells "didn't leak" and lasted longer because they weren't alkaline. It's possible they offer better batteries elsewhere, but I bought the cheaper ones.

A bunch of OEM companies got upset that their products were being destroyed, and thus two tiers of battery were created, one for OEM devices, and one for off-the-shelf
