[R-390] OT Battery Leakage

[Raymond Cote]

Don't holdback les, just say what you mean lol
We at the Univ if Hawaii used Duracells exclusively for battery packs in our underwater instrumentation and expected them to last a year in a very restricted atmosphere. I don't recall ANY
Problems or leaks on our PV boards. We used them by the thousands yearly

Then, if they are Duracell's second-best batteries, why did the Procells last longer and never cause leakage problems in our shops multi meters, Maglite's or other devices we used? We spec'd Procell's to our suppliers after experiencing leakage and early failures with Duracell's.

I'm awaiting your prolonged, scientific filled answer, as I'm just a retired controls technician, and have always desired to be enlightened by a multi-paragraphed answer from someone less informed than me on the equipment I worked on................

> Duracell and Duracell Procell are entirely different lines

Different lines, yes.  Different batteries, no.  The Procell
batteries are just Duracell's second-best batteries ("Duracell Plus")
with different graphics and packaged in bulk.  Duracell's best
batteries ("Ultra Power") offer slightly greater energy
density.  IMO, they both leak in time.

Best regards,

Charles
