These are fakes..got some from same seller last year,so lasted 3X less than old ones and leaked too...
It is true, that every 3-rd Duracell battery sold in the UK is a Fake!
Using rechargeable Eneloops now and see savings already.

Depends what your putting them in, most rechargeable AA and AAA batteries do not do well in higher current applications.

Rechargeables are usually only 1.2volts, these will be 1.5 volts. As stuellis replied - depends on what you want to use them for.

I have 'Jones' wall clock in my kitchen which despite having a quartz movement, has a sweeping second hand rather than one that ticks. Didn't even realise there were different types of AA battery but bought some on a special offer here on HUKD a while back, and when the battery died in the clock, put in one of these rechargeable ones.
Turns out it's got a lower output than a normal non-rechargeable AA battery and as a result the clock runs but loses time quite badly!
Something to bear in mind. Never knew there were different output AA batteries.

I only use batteries for my remote control and door bell.
Rechargeable batteries are an absolute pain in the back side.
Some of them don't charge, while some only a few days before the remote intermittently stops working.
Non rechargeable batteries, tend to last me about 1-3 years, without any issues.
They are truly plug & play.
So for the cost of around £3....its a no brainer.

Re-chargeables are useless in a torch as they die without warning

Yes, I've ordered via them as they have a better rating.

Agreed. The recharge on them tend to last about a quarter of the time a new set would last, and get worse every recharge. I stopped a long time back

Hopefully with decent low self-discharge cells (Eneloop etc) and a proper (not fast) charger you will find that it's a much bigger pain in the **** (as well as the wallet) having to go to the trouble of buying disposables all the time.

good price if genuine Duracell. Duracell batteries are one of most faked batteries going.
