[R-390] OT Battery Leakage

[Les Locklear]

To add, I've never seen a Duracell Plus battery.

I was told they were the same by a Duracell engineer.  She had QC 
reports that showed the same data attributed to both.  I wouldn't put 
too much stock in anybody's anecdodal reports of battery life 
(including mine), since usage is a huge uncontrolled variable -- how 
much were the flashlights used, how much were the multimeters used on 
the ohms ranges, and how much were they left forgotten on the ohms 
ranges for prolonged periods?  Also are you sure you were comparing 
the Procells specifically to the "Duracell Plus" batteries I 
mentioned, or could it possibly have been to one of the many other 
Duracell battery product lines?

Best regards,

Charles
