Past ten years my family is using on and off Eveready batteries. That is for the reason of trying other brands. Also to try other attractive cheaper commercial batteries. I used Battery brand X before when traveling, doing sporting activities, blogging projects here in the Philippines and Abroad. To keep my Digital Camera capture the lifetime remarkable moments. To save some money i used Cheap brand X so as the time goes on. I experienced that it only last for a short period of time.
