[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 856081, member: 746"] There are a lot of fake Duracell batteries floating about, indistinguishable from the original. Street markets sell them. I have seen them leaking in the packet Makro sell the real thing. My alarm component supplier, who sells wireless alarm devices with alkaline batteries, uses either Eveready or Panasonic batteries, the latter when he can get them. A wireless device with 3 x AA batteries should in theory last 4 years. They did a few years back. Now it is recommended to change them once a year I took out a set of Duracells from a device that had been installed in December 2016. Two of the batteries showed 1.2 volts, one was 0.3 volts, so useless. This same alarm supplier said you could weigh the batteries to see if they are genuine or not. I tried that and they were all the same, but you cannot tell by looking [/QUOTE]
