Best batteries for various modules

[Alex 31]

I am curious what might be the best batteries than can be used for different modules e.g. smoke sensor, door sensor or KFOBs.

 

• Fibaro Smoke Sensor / Fibaro Motion Sensor (CR123A)

I had some good experience with "Panasonic".

But using "VARTA Photo Lithium" in combination with smoke sensor was a mess. They should have 1600mAh but after inserting them in my smoke sensor (even after exclude and reinclude) the battery status was displayed as almost empty. But using them with Fibaro Motion Sensor they are running for 6 months. But also here Panasonic batteries are having a longer duration.

 

• Z-Wave.Me KFOB (CR2032)

I tested a "VARTA CR2032 3V" and it was running for about 9 months.

I could not test other ones yet.

• Fibaro Door Sensor (ER14250)

I bought once "Ultralife UHE-ER13250 3,6V" but they got empty after half a hear already.

After this I tried "Xeno XL-050F Lithium Batterie 1/2AA (3,6V 1200 mAh)" and these ones are still running (now 8 months)

 

• AEON Labs Motion Sensor 4in1 (4xAAA)

I tested "Kodak AAA": Replace after 3 months already

Also I tested some from "ALDI Süd" (german discounter), they are running better although, but not very much (about 6 months).
