The one`s at Poundland (Especially the Kodak tripe) leak. Great find, Heat..

Crap ones..... Read up..... All alkaline batteries are covers by about 10% ish on performance..... The point here is that ANY Duracell is not particularly better or worse than any other alkaline brand (the chemistry is identical) so the issue is people paying usually extra for the brand name for no other reason than their massive marketing budget. Do IKEA, Wilko, PL etc. advertise their alkaline batteries on TV........ No........ Hence them being cheaper and roughly the same.


To the person who said pound shop alkaline cells leak... no different to other brands and alkaline cells shouldn't leak to the extent of zinc cells

Do people even know the differences....

Yet another ridiculous heating of a non-deal on AA batteries. At least in this one they are at the NORMAL PRICE for alkaline cells, that being 12.5p each, rather than hot and an inflated price. But everyone don't go crazy - this is the normal price for alkaline cells so don't make a special trip. The 8 packs in PL for £1 or 4 packs for 50p / 8 for 95p are all within 10% the same as these (generally 10% better).

So I suppose at least there is a positive that this is hot when it's the normal price compared to the usual hyper-expensive Duracell "deals".

Dam paid £2.99 just last week in poundstrecher for 12 batteries and that wis a gd buy, so a flaming HOT!!! fae me stokey90
ma Mary's gonae be happy i'll tell ya her best bed friend will go on and on and on wae this deal, am away tae the pub :smile:

Deal or no deal they don't even sell them in the Iceland I went to.

The Kodax Xtralife are fairly good I find

So has this expired??

Good deal, but on the other hand, you could be seen shopping at Iceland.

Deal...

Probably fake lot of duracell fake batteries around.

Yes they are. 10 batteries for £1.50, they used to be 10 for a £1. They sell AA and AAA.

Yes the Ikea ones are the best alkalines, they do well in the battery test for value for money.

To anyone who couldn't get this deal I also recommend and buy mine from ikea.

havent bought for a while so maybe, but still the best..

Ikeas are 12 for £1.00 and the best i have bought.

There are different ranges of Duracell, those ones are Power Plus which are quite good (not the best but quite good), pound shops usually have the Duracell Simply which are the crap ones.

Not all Duracell are equal, far from it. Ikea batteries give you far more power for your pound.

Which store was this? Can anyone confirm national?

hmm I need to go and get pork scratchings, will have a look

Bad news, just been into my local Iceland where I purchased these and the they are not back up to £3.

On asking why i was told that today they changed all the deals and i was lucky to catch on to these before they changed. If you can get these at this price today, well done otherwise i think it will have expired in many big stores. Sorry.

Great price!
I can't find a use for AA batteries these days as all my doofs take AAA .

I'm heading Iceland in 15 minutes i will answer those questions.

Is this national?

great find OP. now to drive to my local iceland. :smiley:

In all fairness, most alkaline batteries will perform similarly. I use Wilkinson's own brand which are 50p for a 4 pack of AA or AAA. They might not last quite as long as the big brands (they may do though), but the price:life ratio is far better.

Having said that, this is a very good price for duracell.

Red & white packaging usually 8 or 12 for £1

I've tried Duracell & Panasonic AA batteries from the poundshop in the XB1 controller. Surprisingly the Panasonic ones lasted longer.
