4 Duracell NATO stock code
|
The UK military spec Duracells do have an amazing shelf life. I bought some D cells from a military surplus shop in 2000, with a use by date of 1998. I didn't expect much at the time but they were only 10p each. I recycled the last of them earlier this year after many years of use in radios, torches, ghettoblasters etc. - the last 4 were happily powering a DAB radio this summer.
No sign of leakage either. I wish I'd bought some more now.
