Default Re: Amazing D cell discovery!

Even if you could find Duracells they would probably come from a different source than the ones we see in Europe. Here they are the standard premium brand sold practically everywhere - hardly surprising as they are very expensive so provide a good margin for the retailer. As has been said earlier, they are trading on a reputation which is no longer deserved.

Some people seem to have no awareness of what a battery should cost so will pay whatever is asked, even for an undemanding application like a remote control.
