Review on πŸ”‹ Duracell Procell PC1500 AA Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide Battery, 1.5V, Pack of 24 by Rebecca Jones

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the quality it used to be

A few years ago I ordered Procell AA in yellow packaging and my box was running out so I decided to stock up. This time they sent me a dark gray box labeled Procell but without the Duracell name. I have no idea what the difference is between them, but they honestly don't work as well or last as long as the yellow ones. Damn good, I just tested one of the remaining old 2018-19 yellows (expiry date March 25th) and one of this year's new blacks (expiry date March 26th) and the yellows still have a higher charge. (almost top "good"), while black registers 1/2 up "good"... and I tested several of them. ). I'm really disappointed because I've really appreciated/relyed on them until now. These new ones don't have the durability, battery life etc. of my old yellow boxes. I had issues with their good performance on several things which is why I compared them today. I used to think they were good value for money but now I have my doubts. I also tested the newer black AAAs I got and got the same results.

Pros
  • Health & Home
Cons
  • Big and bulky
