The reason you should use the same brand, even use the same package, or at least same brand and same age batteries is because the batteries will last as long as the shortest life battery. Every brand of battery has a different lifespan. So, if you use different brands you may have one battery that has gone dead while the rest are perfectly fine. It's not unsafe or anything to use different brands, just not very efficient.

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know the rules concerning batteries? Should you always put the same type of batteries into an item? I'm asking because we have a four-year-old, and we're constantly going through batteries! Sometimes, I open packages of different brands and put them into a toy, etc, but I've heard this is not a good thing! Any ideas? Thanks.
