Review on DURACELL Package PROCELL Professional Alkaline by Sergio Wingate

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You LEAK! on household items

later Well, they're cheaper than some, but that's a nuance. I bought these in March 2017 to use in my Lutron Serena motorized blinds. D-cells Duracell Procells have replaced some energizers. The energizers worked with the blinds for about 16 months, after which they had to be replaced. So after only six months I noticed that one of the blinds was stuck. Upon inspection, one of the Procells was leaking and contaminating the battery contacts. I cleaned the contact and replaced it with new Procells that came from the same box as the previous ones. The curtain didn't work. Took out new batteries and found another leaking battery! Three custom blinds cost hundreds of dollars and now one isn't working properly. I measured the remaining new batteries with a Fluke 87 III multimeter. The remaining batteries read 1.5 VDC, which was within their ratings, but a new battery with no load should read between 1.6 and 1.7 VDC. Which, by the way, the energizers read before I use them. So beware buyers.
