Default Re: Amazing D cell discovery!

I've stopped using Duracell too: have found them too randomly variable in life/quality to bother with. In my most recent set (eight D-cells used in one intermittent-high-current-draw appliance) two went reverse-polarity [rendering the appliance non-working] while the other six remained OK and worked OK for another few months in a flashlight.

Now for cheap-and-cheerful stuff I use JCB batteries (they're cheap and yellow...) and for the better stuff I use Energizers.
