The thickness of the batteries isn't the problem, it's the overall height of the batteries. All others besides the Panasonic's that Tesoro sends and Duracell/procell that I've found are too tall, causing extra tension on the spring terminals which then pushes the battery towards the door.
I don't know any others besides the three I listed above that are proper overall height. All others from rayovac, Lowe's brand, Energizer, etc have been anywhere from slightly too tall to so tall they fully compress the spring contacts to the point that they don't spring back and need to use a paper shim under the battery whenever I used the "right size" or it won't keep contact with the terminals and loosely will move (One of my compadres is which one this happened to because it was my first tesoro and didn't know any better.)

Duracell fit the Best in My Golden. They still are a little thick but the best of all brands I tried. But they are shorter than the rest also. I also use them in My CZ-3D as others are too long and bow out the battery door.
They are a little more but seem to last longer.

Are they alkaline or heavy dutys? The HDs don't last at all. If alkaline I will check them out. But all the cheap ones I have seen are longer and fatter than the Duracells.
