Review on πŸ”‹ Duracell LR44 Duralock 1.5V Button Cell Battery: 10-Pack for Long-lasting Power by Syracuse Parrotte

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WARNING: THEY COULD BE PERFECT AND NOT WORKING YET!

I can safely say I received 10 September 2017 Duracell batteries and they were fully charged. The problem is that the LR44 batteries in my LED flashlight were a bit thicker than the new ones I received. It might not matter if I had a device where you only had to deal with 1 battery thickness as that probably wouldn't be a problem BUT in a flashlight they add up and if you lose a few millimeters of thickness for 4 batteries . The device does not work because it does not make contact at both ends. I had to fix this by finding a small metal disc and placing it on the bottom of the flashlight to make up for the lack of thickness of these new batteries. Although my old batteries were clearly marked as LR44, another label suggested they might be silver oxide, which might require a thicker battery (this is my own guess as I can't prove it), but I did thought this is to let everyone know if your 'new' batteries don't work you may need to use something to replace your old battery with another that is electrically sound but like me needs a small conductive element, to work properly. Hope this helps someone, it took me about 30 minutes to figure out why my flashlight wasn't working :) I have to say it's working great now and is as bright as the day I bought it.
