Sounds like a b.s. lawsuit. “Up to 50% longer”? If the battery lasts 0.004% longer, that’s UP TO 50%. Such claims are often considered commercial boasting.

It all depends on load, rate of current drain, initial and final voltage. Lots of ways to fudge the numbers.

Just a little savings message. Costco Kirkland batteries are made by Duracell.

AC Delco is better than both, less than a quarter each and lasts just as long as the big brands from what I can tell: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-superpilas-alcalinas-AAA-AC274/dp/B00FF8KQJC/

My expeience with Duracell is that for the past few years nearly every AA I’ve used leaks. They never used to do that. I stopped buying them.

Bat-wars. Or, how to throw massive amounts of money and superior court time down the lawyer drain for the stupidest reasons.

You guys duke it out in court so your overpriced batteries can be even more expensive. In the meantime, I’ll get a 72 pack of Kirkland batteries for a fraction of what 72 Duracell or Eveready batteries cost.

Did you know that you can recharge alkaline batteries?

I’ve been using the same pair of Duracell batteries in my radio on charging them every day now for about a year and a half

The trick is you have to have a voltmeter as they charge very very quickly feel good from 1.4 to 1.6 in about 15 minutes

A number of people who make their living using or servicing electronic instrumentation refer to Duracell as “Duraleak”. The damn things seem to be much more prone to leakage than the other top brands.

I won’t buy Duracell batteries for any reason after bad experiences of my own. I don’t think they are nearly as good as when they were still Mallory.

None of this has to do with the specifics of the article, but what’s a thread on FR without a bit of topic drift?
