Advantages: Last longer Disadvantages: Cost slightly more than other batteries
...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 ... ...had unopened packets of both Duracell batteries (£4.50 for a pack of 4) and Everready batteries (£3.75 for a pack of 4) so setting up the test wasn't too difficult.
I inserted the batteries and simultaneously switched them on. Ooooooooh, pretty lights!!!!! I check the time - 1:45pm.
Having used these lights the previous year, I estimated that they should easily run for 24 hours if left switched on continuously. So although the excitement was almost ...

Advantages: Long lasting Disadvantages: None at all!
...pack of these four AA Duracell Long Lasting Power batteries from Asda, and they set me back £2.85. I thought that this was a reasonable prce for batteries that will work many appliances around the home. The most I have seen these batteries for is around £3.60. I do think I got a deal for these four batteries.
I have seen batteries from other manufacturers, and supermarket's own brands. I think that Duracell are a good brand and I have noticed that ... ...my digital camera, but the duracell batteries last me a few days. In the cardboard pack are four average sized AA batteries. They are cylinder shape of course, and fit nicely in this little pack. They do not take up too much space in a bag or pocket, so would be fine to carry in a bag without trouble. The new colour coding of Duracell batteries has become popular. As al the lettered batteries like AA, and AAA, C, D, 9V, etc, Duracell has made it ...

Advantages: Very long lasting Disadvantages: A little large than the average AA battery
Duracell batteries do last a very, very long time. This is probably a somewhat rare example of a product doing what the advert says it does! Last for ages longer than any normal battery!
But that is, of course, a point to consider. Duracell lasts much longer than an ordinary battery, but does it last much longer than other Alkaline batteries made by other equally reputable firms for a little less money? Perhaps not. However, for the jobs that I ... ...rechargeable batteries are unsuitable.
Duracell do have a handy battery tester built in to the battery so you can tell exactly how much power the battery has left, which was a good, innovative idea and which still helps Duracell stay ahead of the rest of the field.
One minor niggle is that, in my experience, Duracell batteries always seem to tend to be a very tiny amount larger than other batteries in that particular category. So with some very ...

Advantages: Great Power, Long Lasting Disadvantages: Expensive
...use this, I have only Duracell batteries at my place due to their almost everlasting life. What’s the point of buying cheap batteries that die and get that angry look on your face in no time?
Lets say for a simple application like a Discman, I was on vacation and had two Duracell spares in my pocket, the Discman also contained two, now I was on a week long vacation and I used my Discman pretty generously not to mention all the music we used to hear ... ...didn’t need to do any such thing, not to mention I had 2 spares in my pocket.
You can expect to pay as little as £2.00 for a two pack or £3.40 for a Duracell MN 1500.
Rest assured, you won’t need refills for a long time to come. ...
