I haven't really considered it. I always buy Energizer but this is because people call me the Energizer Bunny all the time (LOL even my pdoc did it recently! We were discussing my "low' thyroid and I asked him if he ever found me to be lacking in energy in any way. LOL. He was like, "Nope, you are like the Energizer Bunny.")
However, I'd say it would be hard to tell with commercial batteries, unless they come with manufactured dates (I have never really thought about this.) I bet some of them sit around in stores for quite some time.) I guess you'd be wanting like, a quality rechargeable which I have very few thoughts about. I will say, I have a set of rechargable no name D batteries on Amazon that are rechargable and I have had them for a LOT of years. Like, over five. They still work fine.
