When is an AA cell considered as discharged, and how long should they last?

There IS something odd about cat flaps! We had a few.
I noticed some of the Star Ratings complained that the batteries drainied very quickly, but I needed the type being complained about.
Sure enough, cheap alkaline batteries were done in 2-3 weeks, but the poshest Duracells lasted a year. Presumably something about the particular load - a solenoid plus a long slow draw.
