This isn't the most important question in the world but it is something that I have always wondered and I guess ya won't know unless you ask. As you all know Tesoro sends a battery with all their new detectors, I have had a number of used and new Tesoro's and every new one that I have bought came with a Panasonic battery. Nothing against the Panasonic batteries I think they are very good, was just curious if any of you got a new Tesoro with another brand of battery.

That's funny Steve.
Your question had me scratchin my head. I recieved my Vaquero back from Rusty not to long ago as the speaker went bad and he returned it with a battery....and a new set of headphones at no charge (Thanks again Rusty) ! I just had to get up and go look and it's a Panasonic. Guess they have stock. HAHA

Manufacturers, who supply a battery with a detector, will usually select a decent alkaline battery for their production inventory just the same as they do other components, and that is usually the bulk price offered by a supplier. I have usually seen manufacturers use Panasonic batteries, and I also see a lot of Nova (White's) in the recent past, and a few other labels. Usually I get decent battery life/run-time out of them, and I also stock a supply of batteries for my personal detector use that are not the "big two" brands. Those would be Duracell and Energizer.
For years I have used the Costco 'Kirkland' brand with excellent results, and they have been very affordable. I used to buy them for $9.something in the 48 pack, and through the more recent years they went to $10 something, then $11.something, and now I think a 48 pack is $12.99. That's still only 27.065

I am just glad that I didn't ask a question that might of made Monte go into details 
, just kidding Monte your explaining things in a non compicating way is why so many of us has learned so much from you. We are all lucky to have you doing what you do & saying what you say. Thank you for the great reply to my question.

.The only Tesoro to worry about is the Compadre-according to allcav. Some of the rechargeables w/9.6 voltage rating can go too high at the initial start after their recharge and it's best to use a true 9v. battery=and thus the 8.6 v. rechargeable I use in mine from Tenergy.
