SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Have all the alkaline batteries in the Duracell portfolio been upgraded?
All of the alkaline batteries in the Duracell portfolio in AA and AAA have been upgraded.
2. Can I mix new batteries with old batteries in my device?
No, do not mix old and new batteries.
3. Can I mix batteries with different capacities in my device?
No, batteries of matching capacities should be used within your device.
4. Does the new formulation for AA / AAA alkaline products influence the environmental sustainability?
The new formulation does not change the environmental sustainability of these batteries since they will continue to be made primarily from the common metals steel, zinc and manganese, all of which are recyclable metals. When the batteries become waste Duracell will pay for them to be collected and recycled as required by the new EU Battery Directive. In order to minimise the impacts on the environment from waste batteries Duracell recommends that consumers dispose of their used batteries within the battery collection system in their country.
5. What are the anode, cathode and electrolyte?
These are the basic components of a battery and like other alkaline batteries are: The anode is the negative electrode and is made of zinc. The cathode is the positive electrode and is made of manganese dioxide. The electrolyte is an aqueous solution that allows transport of ions between the electrodes and is made of potassium hydroxide.
6. What is their life expectancy for best performance?
Duracell has a freshness guarantee of 7 years and guarantees performance during that time. As there are thousands of various devices and usage there is no one performance life expectancy that is given.

Buyer beware,
By Valkirk (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duracell Plus MN1604 Alkaline 9 V Battery - 2-Pack (Personal Care)
What you see is not what you get - picture shows a pair of packaged Duracell Plus batteries. What you get is two unpackaged non plus batteries which quite possibly are fakes.

What a rip off!,

This review is from: Duracell Plus MN1604 Alkaline 9 V Battery - 2-Pack (Personal Care)
Bought these batteries in good faith and looking at the pictures I thought that they where a good price. What I recieved were what appear to be cheap fake batteries the type you get from the pound shop with a dodgy Duracell look a like case on. they were packaged in a plane orange card packet looking very cheap. I checked the persons feed back and found that I was not the only one with concerns. many others also had concerns about the quality. if only I had read the feedback first!
I have had similar experiances when buying from ebay and since have stopped using ebay. will now not be using market place to buy this type of item again. shame really but I have not got money to thow away and I would rather spend the money out on a genuine product than save a couple of pounds and recieve a cheap immitation. Amazon need to sort this this out as people will soon loose faith and it will have a negative effect on there business.

This review is from: Duracell Plus MN1604 Alkaline 9 V Battery - 2-Pack (Personal Care)
I have to cqnfess disappointment with the batteries purchased to power my Big Cheese cat repeller.They only lasted about 4 weeks,after which I used a couple of Tesco Value batteries which are of the old fashioned Zink Chloride type and whilst I only expected them to last a week or two at best, they actually have lasted about 6 weeks.I have sinced purchased even more of the cheap ones and have assumed that the first set of Duracell batteries were old stock because I have never before had a problem with that make.
