All of the batteries exceeded the Minimum Average Duration (MAD) that
was anticipated for the discharge tests. The JCB OXI and ASDA Longlife
gave the best results at 210% of MAD and the Pairdeer the poorest at
The Supreme Lithium exceeded the results of al of the alkaline batteries
however these have a different chemical composition and are included for
No leakage was recorded from any cell during testing.

The 7 types of AA batteries were subjected to a high drain discharge test using a resistive
load of 3.9 Ohms applied to each battery for 1 hour in 24 until the on load battery voltage
dropped below the End Voltage of 0.8V. This is intended to simulate use in a high drain
The Minimum Average Duration expected under these test conditions is 4h
The samples tested achieved the fol owing results:
The lithium batteries would not normal y be subjected to the same test regime but were
included in this test for comparison purposes at the client's request.
The load tests on batteries are not based on the current but on the value of resistance used
For AA batteries a load of 10 Ohms would be used to simulate a personal music player or
radio whereas a load of 3.9 Ohms would be used to simulate a motor driven toy which has
approximately 2.5 times higher current drain and consequently would drain the batteries a lot
The expected Minimum Average Duration or AA Alkaline batteries with a 10 Ohm resistor is
11.5hours, with a 3.9 Ohm resistor the expected MAD is 4 Hours. Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services UK Ltd
