Renata or Panasonic batteries? (Lithium)

[mrkeys]

Which do you guys use, we used to us Duracell but moved over to Panasonic 2 years ago and the feedback has been they have been way better.

I never considered using Renata, but should I move to Renata? are they more expensive or cheaper and which do you guys find last longer if any?

I generally retail the Renata ones as they are individually carded, but I use the Panasonic ones for car remotes when I change the batteries for customers.

We have always used Renate but as recently reported there have been issues with CR2016 and some 1.5 volts.

We've had issues with the 1620 batteries not having full 3V when tested

Renata has been an industry standard, known for quality and reliability however it's no longer the case.

The industry needs an alternative high quality battery at a competitive price point and full selection.

A good opening for an existing trade supplier to look into.
