vs
Battery Energizer or OEM KIA
Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.
Pros: far better, low discharge
I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.
Pros: worked perfectly, plug and play
Vehicle:
BMW
So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.
Pros: no leaks, great success
when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.

I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.
Pros: stopped the issue
Cons: duracell keeps doing that
It has been in there since 2016 and still works fine.
Pros: still works fine
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I've noticed the 20xx Energizer series seem to be made in Japan. Refreshing since they don't stink like the Ikea MIC ones.
Pros: made in Japan
Cons: stink like Ikea
Another is that the OEM Kia battery just sucks…they fail. The fix is to get a new battery that doesn’t suck. Kia will replace the dead one within warranty but you’ll get another dodgy OEM battery. Most people seem to trend towards buying a good AGM aftermarket battery for this.
Pros: good AGM aftermarket battery
Cons: dodgy OEM battery
Vehicle:
Kia
I started using Energizer a few years ago after EVERY SINGLE DURACELL BATTERY in a 24-pack I bought corroded just as badly as the 1st battery on the left in your picture! This was regardless of whether the battery was in a device like a clock that was always running, in a device that is used when needed like my flashlight, or stored in my home office.
Pros: prevent alkaline leakage
Cons: Duracell corroded badly
Biggest issue was it ate batteries, never had a car go through so many batteries
Cons: ate batteries, went through many

Kia
