So do I. They rarely last more than a year before they leak, and some brands even less. Before they changed from some anonymous Chinese manufacturer to GPT, the Office Depot brand sold here lasted 3-4 months. An awful lot of the 'Duracells' you'll find in discount places, markets, etc. are chinese fakes. A genuine Procell PP3 has six cylindrical cells which look like a small AAA cell. The ripoffs I`ve seen have flat cells. You can barely tell the difference from external appearances alone - the price should be your guide. I've never bought any at a market, as they are cheaper in bulk from places like Rapid Electronics. CPC are pretty good, discounted AND two boxes for the price of one. Ron |
