Battery Warranties
 

Saturday July 27, 2013

Went to the shelf, and found some leaky batteries. The folks on alt surv
will find this to be no surprise.

Fire up the computer, and try to contact the three companies. Energizer
and Rayovac let me fill out the form, and will contact me some time via
email.

Duracell insisted to know the month and year of my birth which is none
of thier damn business. I put "something" in. They now say I'm not
eligible to contact them. After a long search, I found they are part of
Proctor and Gamble, and got a mailing adress. I'll see if I can find a
customer service number, and phone them on Monday. At present, I'm not
all that impressed with Duracell customer no-service.

I had a system crash, and using a far less friendly email program to
post to usenet. I'm not a happy computer. Wishing for XP and Outlook
Express, back.

The question is why do you have so much battery problems. The only
ones I've ever had go bad were way beyond any reasonable shelf life.

Are these the one-use batteries you insist on trying to recharge?

buy a copy of MS outlook. It will be a lot better than Blunderbird.
If you can get Outlook XP (2003) it is the closest to oputlook
express, the most reliable, and not as complex as 2007 +.

For your use XP 2002 would do just fine - 2003 is better when used in
a corporate environment (and I prefer it al - round)

You can usually buy a legit pack of outlook, or even office (with
outlook) pretty reasonably on Flea-Bay.. Currently office XP Pro on
for $17 to $60.

You want a 10 year old OS to match your 10 year old batteries? Have you
considered Windows 7 if the box can support it? I use Windows 2000, XP and 7
on a daily basis. They all work, although 2000 not only isn't supported by
M$, but many current applications won't even install. XP has been granted a
reprieve several times but it is headed to the same dead end.

I would not recommend 8 until they figure out what they are doing but it is
also usable after you figure out the tricks to undo the shambles M$ made out
of the UI.

Time moves on. If you can't run with the big dogs...

Forget W7 then. Some motherboards won't support it either. You may
want to consider upgrading the ram anyway. Performance will increase
considerably and it is not all that expensive. 4 Gig works great.

RAM is only "reasonable" with present technology (DDR3). Try pricing DDR or DDR2 anywhere!
As far as old stuff running W7...I have a 9 yr old Dell 8400 P-4,3GHz with 1.5Gb of DDR2 and it runs very nicely.

I've had no issue at all with Duracell warranty replacement of an item
damaged by leaking batteries. I called them, they sent some paperwork
and a prepaid mailer pack, I sent the device in with leaking batteries
in place, and a couple weeks later they sent me a check for the cost of
replacing the device, along with a coupon for new batteries. No
complaints.

AFAIC it has to do with price fixing...either you pay or consider buying a newer PC. It tells you to get 4X what you think you need at the time!

So go back to it, doesn't matter if MS "supports" it or not.

Consider...

MS has been spewing out DOS/OS programs since the early 80s when they got
lucky and got an IBM contract. I never used their DOS systems but have used
Win 3.1, 95A, 95B, 98, XP and 8. They all needed "security updates". IOW,
over the last 20 or so years, MS couldn't come up with a secure, error free
OS out of the box. What makes you think their updates are any better?

My XP is SP3 and the only reason it is is because certain programs I use
needed it. Other than that, I have never installed any MS updates. And
when the free Win 8.1 becomes available I won't be getting it either; my Win
8 looks and functions like XP. Main difference between the two (on my box)
is that Win8 sucks up 16 GB - SIXTEEN GIGABYTES! - of disk space compared to
1 GB for XP. IIRC, Win7 uses about 7-8 GB.

Can you say, "Bloat?".

Just FYI. If you used Win3.1, you used DOS. Win3_1 was not an
operating system, just a graphical interface on DOS. You had to first
have DOS on the machine to install Win.

Win95 was the first complete in itself OS and even then you could find

Stormin might be able to cope with Ubuntu. He might even be able to get his
beloved OE to run under Wine. I've been using Linux since the days when
Slackware required about three boxes of 3 1/4" floppies and this is being
sent from KNode.

Unfortunately, I'm a programmer and our customer base prefers Windows. We
tried to promote a Linux solution after the cost of AIX boxes became
ridiculous compared to generic x86 boxes, but the fish weren't biting.

I've been doing this since the System 360/30 days and all I have learned
from the experience is some OS's suck more than others but all of them are
more or less usable.

buy a copy of MS outlook. It will be a lot better than Blunderbird.
If you can get Outlook XP (2003) it is the closest to oputlook
express, the most reliable, and not as complex as 2007 +.

Or try an even better email/usenet client

Forget W7 then. Some motherboards won't support it either. You may
want to consider upgrading the ram anyway. Performance will increase
considerably and it is not all that expensive. 4 Gig works great.
If the system/device is not on the Win7 compatability list, don't
even waste your time fooling with it.

RAM is only "reasonable" with present technology (DDR3). Try pricing DDR or DDR2 anywhere!

Yes, Everything else gets cheap when most people don't use it anymore,
but I've found RAM to be an exception. How did the makers and
sellers do that?

When it is not used in huge quantities most manufacturers stop making
it - which puts the price on what is still available way up - because
they don't make enough of it to keep the price per unit down.

I like PC-BSD, it's fairly bulletproof and very hard to crash. It's
getting better all the time as more apps will work with it. ^_^

Looked at FBSD a couple of times but decided to stay with Linux since I
am happy. Been pleased with Linux (mostly Debian Debian-based) distros
for a dozen years. #! is my favourite.


Some of the systems I service have imbedded Linux if not imbedded XP or
CE. I suppose I Like PC-BSD because I'm a little devil instead of a

I did send in a leak damaged device with Duras, and they were good. I'll
try and get a contact phone number, Monday.

Duracell insisted to know the month and year of my birth which is none

eligible to contact them. After a long search, I found they are part of
Proctor and Gamble, and got a mailing adress. I'll see if I can find a
customer service number, and phone them on Monday. At present, I'm not
all that impressed with Duracell customer no-service.

I've had no issue at all with Duracell warranty replacement of an item
damaged by leaking batteries. I called them, they sent some paperwork
and a prepaid mailer pack, I sent the device in with leaking batteries
in place, and a couple weeks later they sent me a check for the cost of
replacing the device, along with a coupon for new batteries. No
complaints.
