It's hard to see how Duracell can market their Duracell Ultra Power battery as being the best they have made, especially at the price it is sold at, because it performed worse in both 200mA and 1000mA tests than their own Duracell Plus Power - which is 31p a battery cheaper! Like in the 200mA test, the Duracell Ultra Power is the worst value for money alkaline battery we tested.
Have a look here for a comprehensive comparison of AA cells.

The winner with best bang for your buck in both low and high drain applications was also the cheapest from Ikea.
