Our local Aldi or Lidl have different manufacturers - what ones are you using ???
The battery comparison on morning TV showed that Lidl batteries outlasted even the duracells. Just can't remember the manufacturer.

The ones I have now are from Lidl and are called 'aerocell' 6lp3146. The only manufacturer lidted on them reads Lidl Stiftung & Co, Stiftsbergstr.1, D-74167 Neckarsulm.
They are in my bass, smoke detectors etc.
AA batteries I use rechargeable Imedion, very long shelf-life and reportedly 15000 recharge cycles.
