Regional favouritism!
I've never seen a Black & Silver DSE AA or AAA .
The remotes are easily explained, their batteries would have a very long life and only 2015/2016 production was shonky.
I was buying for heavier use in a range of instruments, plus in power packs, and changing them regularly when they ran low. My used cells went to the local Salvation Army Family Store for clocks etc because thay had adequate life left for low drain appliances, but I had to stop that when they started to leak. I had a bundle of six unused cells leaking like mad and ready to stuff up the nose of the local DSE Store Manager, but he escaped just in time.
