Ikea Alkaline Batteries are pretty good?

BitBox has built a rig for testing battery performance and run a low drain and high drain test on a number of widely available batteries:
Low Drain
High Drain

The results are surprising: Ikea Alkaline battieries are value for money!

In my mind, Ikea batteries were categorised as the type of batteries that you'd put into remote controls. Clearly my opinion needs to change on this! I've been using Varta high energy alkaline batteries at home for environments which are hostile to rechargable NiMH (e.g. low drain, hot environments), but I'll give Ikea a try next time!
