The Best Long Life Batteries - Skullmeat - 05-06-2016 So a little while ago, I had another pair of Duracell coppertop batteries die in my XBOX One Controller. After replacing them so much, I decided it was time to try a new brand. I went on to the web, and oddly, there wasn't much empirical study on batteries. I did however find http://www.batteryshowdown.com and decided to take a look. Here are their results: Low Drain: http://www.batteryshowdown.com/results-lo.html High Drain: http://www.batteryshowdown.com/results-hi.html The clear winner here is the Energizer Ultimate Lithium, which I went out and bought. Here's the kicker though, and 8 pack is $20 USD at my local store. I popped two of them into my controller and have been using it constantly for about 2-3 weeks now, and windows still marks the battery as full. So, what are your experiences with batteries? Do you think the extra cost is worth it? RE: The Best Long Life Batteries - mothered - 05-07-2016 In terms of battery life, Duracell were very good many years ago. As of recent years, they seem to have declined with their longevity. As a result, I too, have opted for Energizer which has served me very well thus far. As the cliche goes: "You get what you pay for". In the majority of cases, I believe that's true to It's word.
