    4 Stars Black and Copper Energy Sticks Review with images 19/06/2010

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, great for remote controls

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not powerful enough for high-drain devices

    TODAY’S LECTURE IS ON… Batteries - let's start with a fact of the day Most children are taught that Alassandro Volta invented the battery in 1800 – but is this really the case? Another school of thought suggests that actually, the battery may have been created a whopping two thousand years before Volta was even conceived. During a railway construction in 1936, archeologist Wilhelm Konig unearthed a small jar in a cave just outside Bagdad. The jar was lined with copper and featured an iron rod protruding from its top. By filling the jar with vinegar, scientists discovered its ability to produce ... more

    2 Stars Dura-Sold Out Review with images 19/06/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Longer life than other disposables, better performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still very wasteful use of resources, can't be recharged

    With a market share of around 52%, Duracell is the UK’s biggest retailer of household batteries. Renowned for those ‘bunny’ adverts (that either entertain you or drive you up the wall) the brand has always positioned itself based on the fact that it lasts longer than any other. Given that you buy batteries to ‘make something work’ this seems like a reasonable proposition. The alkaline batteries featured here are, in fact, not marketed as the best batteries that Durcacell offer; that accolade goes to Duracell Ultra, which has a combines better conductive elements, with more active ingredients ... more

    3 Stars They're just batteries for goodness sake Review with images 16/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Better for higher powered gadgets and grown up toys

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, can work out cheaper to buy cheapo batteries and keep changing them

    A battery is just a battery, isn’t it? Well apparently not if all the different battery manufacturers are telling the truth. All the different manufacturers would like us to think their’s are the best and there are so many different brands to choose from. But ask the majority of people which brand of battery lasts the longest, and 9 out of 10 are likely to say Duracell, such is the power of advertising. One of the things you soon realise as a parent, is that it’s a good idea to have a stockpile of various sizes of battery and that it may be worth paying a little more not to have to be ... more

    DURACELL - BATTERY Product: MN 1500 - Double A *House-hold devices mainly* ----- ------ ---- Definition of a battery: - A component of any size that is used to produce electricity from a chemical reaction. The three required elements are: an 'anode;' for the negative station: a 'cathode;' which is the positive station: an 'electrolyte;' this is the plate separating them both. ----- ------ ---- The red-head for longer durability Known as the battery with the 'copper-top;' Duracell, has an amiable identity the Western civilisation certainly have taken to their bosoms. I'm one that does opt for ... more

    5 Stars Do Duracell Really Last Longer Than Other Brands? 12/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Last longer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost slightly more than other batteries

    On a quiet weekend whilst watching the telly the Durcell advert came on where the bunnies were doing a bit of rock climbing and only the bunny with the duracell batteries made it to the top (whilst carrying the other bunnies who had inferior batteries). In the interest of science, and to combat boredom, I decided to test out the Duracell claim that their batteries last so much longer than other brands. So I popped down to the shops to buy a couple of bunnies...... only joking. Looking around my house I tried to find two similar battery run items that I could use to test the batteries. ***THE ... more
