Battery companies market their products by making impressive claims about how durable and reliable their batteries are. But which battery lasts the longest? Will a more expensive, brand name battery really last longer than a generic battery?Before we make a hypothesis that addresses this question, let’s learn about the two most common types of batteries.

But in each case, what are people really paying for?Which batteries last longer: brand-name or generic, alkaline or non-alkaline?
