Default Is Energizer trying to kill the rechargeable battery?

How do the prices of energizer NiMH AA and D compare to legitimate
brands' AA and D? Are the energizer NiHM D cells priced like a big AA
cell, or are they at a price point which you would expect them to charge
for a legitimate NiHM D cell? That would probably answer the question.

In any case, both "caveat emptor" and "there's one born every minute"
come to mind.


It gets tiring to have to know everything about everything to avoid
being cheated.

I think C & D battery sales are becoming such a small percentage of
total battery sales that a company like Eveready is just not going to
bother with making every chemistry in every size, so they just use AA
internals in their C & D cells for NiMH. Can you even buy a C & D NiMH
charger at the big box stores?
