Ultimate model. I always used Lithium batteries in my weather station
outdoor. Usually lasts way more than a year but this ones failed in two
weeks. I could hardly measured voltages when I took them out. First
thought was they must be fake ones (maybe from China). Back with
advanced model. Interesting to note from CR, they rated advanced ones
ahead of ultimate ones which costs few bucks more per package.

I've heard of Duracells being counterfeited in recent years.
Mostly out of India, from what I've seen and heard.
