Better with Kodak Xtralife from Poundland or Tesco. Leaking Procells (confirmed as genuine by Duracell) wrecked my £100+ work light. Duracell's attitude was that they were the wrong batteries for the application. Where did it say that on the batteries? So no more Duracell. Comparisoncharts tell all.

Just the new name for the old Procell. Here's a comparison chart

i ordered 3 box's of 10 (30 AAA batteries total) on the last offer posted and recieved 3 box's of 100 (300 batteries total) for under £9 :wink:

I used to live near a battery factory when I was a kid. We used to take the batteries out of the skip, they worked pretty well but probably give you cancer.

just a little insight to my life as a child there for you.

You're Welcome.

Oops, should have put box of 10 in the title. Sorry.

Excellent value!

Fake batteries... ordered returned

Thanks hot.

What's the difference, if any, between these and ones you can pick up at a supermarket? As in, why are they called industrial batteries?

We have been buying the Ikea brand of AA and AAA alkaline batteries, we used to buy these type listed here before.
The Ikea ones are £1,50 for 10 and have been as good, but obviously cheaper.

I think the term Industrial meant that they were intended more for the commercial market rather than retail, by being sold in bulk.

But not as good as they were when they were called Procell!

Thanks Op. Ordered.

Kodak's are not good - They leak!!

This is a good price for Duracell and heat for that. But in my case I prefer the Kodak ones from Poundland simply because not only price but they are used in kids toys who always forget to turn them off. So I get the same amount of use out of them as I would the top brand.

ordered thanks. heat.

UK Dapper = waste of space.
Used them for a previous deal on PP3 batteries - supposedly a pack of 10. They emailed back to advise that they had made an error & that it should have been a 1off price not 10off - but they will, as a gesture of good will double the ordered amount ie. order 1, receive 2, order 2, receive 4 etc. etc. - or get a refund. Fair enough I thought so I continued with my purchase for 1 (receive 2). Only 1 arrived - doh. After numerous emails with them I gave up - wasn't worth my time. Won't be dealing with them again.

Ordered thanks, these seem to last ages in my iMacs Bluetooth mouse.

These batteries are the worst I've ever had avoid at all cost

Xtralife? Never had a failure. Duracell and their variants - numerous leaky cells.

Also worth remembering that Wilko do 8 AA alkaline batteries for £0.95

used these for years and never had a leak, good quality batteries. batteries are one of the most faked products, you wouldn't think so but these and razor blades should only be bought from reputable sellers.

I've ordered these before from UKDapper and the life of the batteries is ridiculously short.
I won't be wasting my money again

ordered! thanks - ignore the naysayers!

That's because ever since Warren Buffet took over Duracell from P&G, the products have been more about profits than quality. My advice - look into GP Ultra batteries, good quality batteries and cheap - just have a google.

You can get the same stuff everyday for just 8p more on ebay.

Be extremely wary of Duracel batteries. The majority are fakes. I have had many which have turned out to be poor quality lead acid which have leaked and destroyed a Maglite and LED Lenser torches. There are web sites showing how to spot fakes. All genuine Duracel batteries have a laser etched batch number on them.

Never heard of these, but good reviews on Amazon, will try these out next time

Still getting the Wilko ones 8 for 95p.

A "good reputation on TrustPilot", is worthless in my book

Not for me. There are cheaper batteries that are just as good- IKEA or Wilkos

That seems like a lot of effort for a £2.51 pack of batteries...you sure you don't work for UKDapper? :wink:

You're Welcome.

Go to IKEA, buy Alkalisk for £1.50 for ten. Ignore any more battery threads, this is how you buy batteries. Don't fall for 'Procell' or 'Industrial'. They are the same batteries just packaged for sale to commercial users.
Duracell have been nothing but a name for a long time now. Shows the power of a brand though!

I heard Tesla electric cars are now switching to Ikea batteries.

No - but I bought a whole load for a project!

Really interesting set of tests; I know I'll be buying ikea next time! Thanks

Thanks OP,

Ordered, wait and see, thanks.

Thanks. Ordered.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink...

So it sounds like all batteries have the potential to leak. Who knew?!

So I think it's really important to note these are not 'Duracell Industrial' batteries, they are 'Industrial by Duracell'. The quality is poorer than the standard Duracell batteries, not better as you would intuit from the name...

I never received mine in the last deal, had to go through paypal for a refund. Terrible company, be warned.

25 pence per battery, sound like normal price, l don't know what all the hubbub for

There was an error?

11.99 on Amazon for 5 packs, which works out 2.40 each. With free delivery.

Factor in Flubit, would make it around 2.20 each.

I know it's a bulk so not identical, but cheaper per piece and much more peace of mind on Amazon.

I'll vote hot simply as this deal reminded me that I need batteries!!!

25p each? Too expensive

Warning: Coupon is either invalid, expired or reached it's usage limit!

Yeah I'm getting the same error now.

UPDATE: I working again now.

Also been using GP, for around 10 years, no problems and a decent price. CPC usually have a good bulk price.

Yes it's the Wilko power plus.
Worth noting the Wilko ones are rated 1046 mAh and Duracell plus power is rated at 1238 mAh, but the Wilko ones are cheaper per mAh.
Or get Ikea Alkalisk whose mAh rating is pretty much on par with Duracell plus power.

Heat added. Bought 2 boxes of AA and 1 AAA. Bargain. Thank you

UK Dapper is awesome - used many times!

Just a warning from experience that these are really BAD batteries. So bad in fact that i complained to Duracell.

I have marplin ones I bought 100 from eBay shop. alkaline ones. brilliant.

I've had several of the industrial ones and tbh they are not all that

Great job.. ordered thank you

Code reached its usage limit ☹️

Tried to buy last time. nothing arrived, and no reply to contact. Ebay resolution centre retrieved money. Waste of time. Dont bother guys

As per previous post code no longer valid so a little more expensive now

ordered 3 days ago and received today, all looks good but not tested yet, I will give the wife a couple to test later

For several good deals, go to http://www.cpc.co.uk and get 40 Ultra Alkaline AAA (BT0631187) or AA (BT0615587) cells for £7.65 plus VAT post free.
They have loads of other makes and sizes, including Philips 36 mixed pack at £6.59 plus VAT post free Order Code BT 063587.

I have had loads leak on me they never did before, the excuses Duracell come up with is likened to dell boy!!!

I used to swear by Duracell for not leaking, not anymore I swear they will all leak and they do, I've had torches, clocks, remotes, and a Wii fit wrecked, when they leaked in my expensive camera I went nuts and had a rant at Duracell.....but same old answer you mixed them......no I did not, anyway it was never a problem before they started to make cheapo leaky batteries!!
Will never use them again, Kodak or Sony from poundland way better!

Eneloop are the best batteries ever, I only use these now.
