I use the Duracell plus and they seem to last for ages. Not sure if there is anything better out there. It will be interesting to see other replies.

Amazon basics batteries seem to compare well with Duracell too. I've used them in alarms for the past few years without a problem.

9V PP3 less than a quid each if you buy 8 (but over 2 pounds each if you but 4).

I bought these -

9V Lithium

Only time will tell if they last significantly longer than duracells . . .that and whether I actually catch any fish to drain them!

Delkim quote 'highly recommends using a Duracell mn1604 battery for optimum performance' in their instructions.

I've had txi-d's for a couple of years and been out every other weekend and not changed the batteries yet. Have you used Duracell?

Yes iv used duracell but I have had issues with the alarms and receiver also. Iv had a replacement receiver due to a short so wouldn't be surprised if the alarms also have something similar

What Belch says Lithium.

At work we had remote sensors that constantly sent signals back to the main system. They were on 24/7 365 days a year and they lasted 5+ years.
These ones

Warning! these aren't cheap, far from it but it's the answer to the question what are the best batteries.

Other than that Duracell Procell. They are good batteries and if shop around can be bought at good prices.

Might give these a go in my ECU alarms. Had to change the batteries 5 or 6 times this year.
